Error 0x0000007F BSoD

[treesurfer78]

Hi all, how you doin'!?

 

Second post of the evening and I'm really looking for some friendly help here, coz I'm buggered if I know how to fix this latest problem.

 

Yesterday my PC was working fine, no problems at all. Then, when I turned it on today as soon as I logged on I had the dreaded 'Error 0x0000007F BSoD'. If anyone can give me any advice on what may be causing this and what the remedy is if any then I'd be well chuffed. I have tried looking online for solutions but can't make any headway. The BSoD and reboot even happens in Safe Mode, which means that I get no time to check what services are running or whatnot.

 

So there you have it. I'm stumped. Any help would be great.

 

Many thanks in advance,

Matthew

Hello Matthew. Did you install any updates before you first encountered the error?

Hi Goku,

 

I haven't manually installed anything for a while now. I can't understand how my PC was working fine two days ago, and now it keeps shutting down and restarting.

Hello Matthew. Try taking out the RAM chips and try to operate your computer using one chip at a time. Are you able to boot into Windows?

As Goku said it could be a Windows update that caused it. You might have it set to automatically install updates.

 

I see a lot of probable other causes from Norton to drivers to memory.

 

Can you check your memory by swapping it out or removing one stick at a time?

Thanks for your feedback so far, guys.

 

I have managed to track the problem down to my Network Driver, apparently. When is Safe Mode or Normal Mode with my Network Adapter disabled my PC works fine. Now then, I have a Sky router but using a Thompson Speedtouch adapter and it's worked fine for the last umpteen months without problem - Now suddenly is gone spazzy. I have tried to update my network driver, but Windows tells me that I have the latest drivers. So, anyone make anything of this mess? Any idea of how to rectify the problem?

 

Many thanks again for your help.

Edit: Apparently the wife bashed the wires/USB port at the rear of the PC where I assumt the Network Adapter/Card is. Could this have damaged it at all?

Best thing to try is plugging your adapter in to another USB port.

 

If that doesn't cure it, remove the adapter, uninstall the drivers whilst in Safe Mode, and see if your PC will boot normally.

 

All ok? Download the latest drivers for your adapter from here

 

Thomson - Products & Services - xDSL Gateways & Accessories - Networking Accessories

 

Run the installer.

 

Plug in the adapter when prompted by the installer.

 

Restart again and hopefully you'll be good to go.

Thanks, Tootech.

 

The PC crashes even when I plug the adapter into a free USB port. I removed the adapter via Device Manager but it still showed up in the Programmes List, however, I managed to remove it from there also. PC boots up just fine now. Went on to the Thompson website but they no longer do the driver for my device (Speedtouch 121g adapter). Found an old driver but it just won't install - The PC 'times out' when trying to install it.

 

I'm at even more of a loss of what to do. Bugger. Will buying a new wireless adapter and installing that instead work?
