Blue Screen with Windows 7 Bug Code Error: 0x0000007f
Hello,
I have been receiving a blue screen on my Windows 7 system. I initially thought it was due to temp issues, so I bought a megahelms cooler and now my temps are 45-47C which I've been told are okay.
Sadly, I received another blue screen today :( So, clearly it isn't a temp issue. From my research I've found that it is likely a conflict with Zone Alarm and AVG. Want to verify based on the file attached, and also get thoughts on which anti-virus I should get and also whether I need a Zone Alarm replacement.
Thanks Experts. I need some good news :)

Hi pr0t0c0l12,
The hardware is good. I didn't provide this info in the original post, but I experienced the exact same problem with a previous installation. In both cases, I had zone alarm and avg installed, which seems to be the problem.
Would also appreciate an anit-virusm and firewall suggestion. Thanks.

Keep Avg and use Windows firewall. Most people feel that Windows firewall and Mcrosoft Security Essentials: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ are sufficient. I feel that Avg is better than MSE.

Bingo. That was what I needed. Thanks!
If you suspect a hardware problem, try the following hardware troubleshooting steps:
Another point of interest will be to run a repair from the installation partition that comes with widnwos 7. You can press F12 and select repair computer from the menu. If the menu is not there for you, or you installed it from a CD, then boot from the CD and try a windows repair.
There are may things to try before you actually blow the operating system but you might want to backup your data before you start changing or trying to repair your OS. I would use a live distribution CD to try to extract your data and then try to repair it.
Good luck!
