Hi, I have a PC that I built myself about 2 years ago.

Recently, it started crashing very often. Like it might crash as soon as it goes to desktop after booting, or might crash at the start up "GIGABYTE ( motherboard ) screen.

About 5 minutes ago, I tried turning it on, and when it goes to the "Microsoft corporation" screen with the small bar moving across, the bar moves very very slowly, then the computer flashes a very quick blue screen, so quick that I cannot see what it says, then dies. It restarts itself.

What should I do?

I need help ASAP, thanks in advance.


P.S. Also, it gives me the option of safe mode, last known configuration, etc but none of those work.

If you can get it to reproduce the BSOD error. it would help.

Start your system and at the Second post screen tap on F8 to get to the Boot Menu
Use the Arrow Keys to Scroll down to the line that says "Auto Start On Error" and highlight it.
Click Enter to disable it
The system should reboot and if not then do so.
When the BSOD shows it will stop so that you can reply with the STOP ERROR and any parameters.

Also when was the last time you opened the system and cleaned the fans..especially the CPU fan?

O.K., I've never cleaned the fans.
It's an Antec 900 case so it probably gets a load of dust in there

I got a code from the Blue screen of death... it goes

***STOP: 0x0000007E ( 0xC0000005, 0x806991C7, 0xBACC3534, 0xBACC3230 )

Nothing after that,

I am running chkdsk /r right now.
Will the chkdsk/r fix it? I run the /p and it said I had errors, which is why I am using /r.

Thanks, and please reply asap again.

Sigh.... I'm reinstalling windows now... losing all my crap in my hard drive..

[rshaffer61]

WAIT!!!!!!! why are you reinstalling and not repairing?
This was not that bad to warrant a format and reinstall.
This error 0x0000007E can be caused by a driver or a hardware corruption

Although your issue may seem similar there can be other factors that may need to be resolved.
By bumping on someone's topic it makes it confusing for the tech to understand who they are helping. This can in turn cause the wrong support to be given and can cause instability or worse to happen to your system. Thank you for your cooperation.

I am afraid my solution might not be so practical... I re-installed windows.
But keep in mind that this problem was not my only reason for re-installing, I had various other problems, needed disk space ( can you believe I filled up 400GB??!! ) So I am looking at this as a fresh slate.

But to all of the others, don't be so brash like me lol, take the time and people @ geeks to go will come through for you in the end

Thanks again
