Blue Screen: Deduce Cause From Screen?
http://tinyurl.com/3dp4a5a
I'm hoping for something like a bad memory stick. The PC was trashed by somebody bco repeated failures with Vista installed on it. I dumpster-dived it, tried XP, and got the above blue screen. It's still a very nice case.... but before I start from scratch with a new Mobo/PS, I'd like to make sure it's not something easily fixed. -- PeteCresswell

Bad RAM or bad disk (bad block, depleted spare sector pool) Did you do a full format on the disk when you installed XP? John

Per Tim Meddick:
Error Stop Code = 0x0000007A http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc957628.aspx Thanks Tim. Thanks Peter. Thanks John. I've tried a few disc drives - complete NTFS format on the latest. My money is on memory or the disc controller. This thing's CPU fan was totally clogged. Maybe I'll try a SATA card in it... maybe I'll just chuck the MOBO, and maybe the PS (not knowing how proprietary it is....) It's still a much nicer case that I could get retail/cheap. -- PeteCresswell
