Hi dparker224 and Welcome to The Forum.
STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Usual causes: Insufficient disk space, Device driver, Video card, BIOS, Breakpoint with no debugger attached, Hardware incompatibility, Faulty system service, Memory, 3rd party remote control.
We really need to see the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
To ensure minidumps are enabled:
Go to Start, in the Search Box type:
sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery
Settings... button.
Ensure that
Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select
Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box
(the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as
%systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.
The .dmp files are located at C:\Windows\Minidump. Until a .dmp file is generated, the Minidump folder may not exist.
Go to your C:\Windows\Minidump folder.
Copy the .dmp files to a new folder on your desktop. Zip up that folder and attach to a post.
Download and run
CPU-Z. Take screenshots
**/snips of the
Mainboard tab,
Memory tab and
all the
slot #'s under the
SPD tab.
Go to
Post Reply, click on the
Go Advanced button and attach the screenshots
**/snips to your post for all the RAM experts to see by using the paper clip you will find on the top toolbar.
Do not zip them up.
**If screenshots, please crop.
