STOP error 0x0000007B - blue screen

Question

Hello to everyone reading this message and trying to help me.
I have a PC running Windows XP Home Edition with SP1 (Config: P4 1.7GHz, Maxtor 20GB HDD, 512MB DDR RAM ...).
Yesterday while I was using this same PC, it crashed badly (it was while I was writing my internship report with Word...), unable to do anything, I ended up closing Word with taskmgr.
The bad surprise came after rebooting; I encountered a ton of errors upon entering Windows: I no longer had all my icons on my desktop, error messages mentioned something about restoration (Restore {......} - {......}....).
So, I rebooted again by pressing F8 > Last known good configuration. It started grinding for a very long time. After about twenty minutes without any progress, (that's when I think I made my mistake), I rebooted it.
And since then it boots correctly, but when starting Windows BAM blue screen with error 0x0000007B (0xF894D640, 0C0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

I've tried quite a few things, including CHKDSK which indicated it could fix errors mentioned in the error message (except that with the Windows recovery console, I don't have the /F option as indicated...), or repairing Windows but nothing works, I always end up on that blue screen.

So I'm here to ask for your help (I really don't want to format unless it's absolutely necessary because I have important data on my HDD), please.

Thank you in advance for your replies and your help.

Hi there :-)

Try a repair with the XP CD:

*quote from ?? I can’t remember which site: To repair a Windows XP installation:
Start the computer from the XP installation CD and follow the various steps.
At the first choice between Installation and Repair/Recovery, choose Installation.
Continue the installation until the window informs you that an already installed version of XP has been detected.
Select Repair.
The repair/reinstallation process of missing or corrupted elements will then begin.*

First, give that a try - with a bit of luck.... Enjoy!

Hello again,
If it can help you, I had made one or two modifications to the registry before the crash (disabling the Windows XP spy and a couple of tips I had already done on this same computer before a later reinstallation), so it might come from there.

So if someone knows how to restore the registry and could share the procedure with me, I would be a thousand times grateful. Thank you in advance.

Hello to you and thank you for your help,
unfortunately, that’s what I tried first: repairing Windows this way. As a result, the first one crashed due to a problem with unregmp2.exe, so I had to force a reboot, then restart the installation which this time went smoothly, but then boom, blue screen when trying to get into Windows!

Could it be a registry issue?

hard hard...
you must have surely changed something when going into the registry
saw on another site: STOP: 0x0000007B/Windows: 2000/XP :
*This problem usually occurs following a change of motherboard or IDE controller. A simple modification of the drivers can also be the cause.
> Boot from the Windows CD, as if you were starting a regular installation.
Once you reach the first menu, you will be offered to repair an existing Windows installation.
Confirm this choice, then select console mode.
Log in (the administrator password will be required). At the prompt (c:\winNT or c:\windows depending on whether you are using Windows 2000 or NT), type:
CHKDSK /R
confirm, then let Windows work. This operation is relatively long. At the end of this, restart the machine, unless there is a major problem with the disk, the boot should proceed normally*

Otherwise, look on the web for more specialized sites/forums for issues of this kind - good luck again ;-)

ok - yes, the hard drive has aged, it's also a possibility - backing up your work is something you only think about when it's too late... ouch, ouch!
Before you despair, scour the forums and leave several messages, the solution may come, Clubic has a specialized XP forum you can try - see you later

I recommend that you get another hard drive, install Windows on it, put a good antivirus on (just in case), and connect your old hard drive as a slave to try to recover as much data as possible.

Hi, I don't know if you still have your problem, but I had the same one as you, and I solved it like this:
Normal startup, I went to the boot selection menu (safe mode, command prompt, last known good configuration, etc.) and at that moment I inserted the XP CD into my drive and started in Safe Mode, and strangely, it accepted it. Then I formatted.

Before, it was like yours, and no matter what type of boot, I couldn't access the command prompt. To be honest, it kept showing me the blue screen of death, and I even had a strange one where I had white lines all over the screen, and in the boot selection menu, I had some Indian or other weird writing in bright red in my menu. I didn't have time to take a photo. Strange how PCs can be.
