Hi,

My laptop keeps going to the BSOD everytime I boot it up. The message says:

***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8A7F528, 0xC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)


Any ideas on how to stop this??

Do you run Windows Vista or XP?
Beacuse for that error code the site that i use says the following:

(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus.

Have you done any of that?
If you dont understanding anything post back and i shall 'decode' it for ya :)

Ok, I'll start from the top of your reply- oh and thanks for replying!
Alright, so I'm using Windows XP on the laptop and, er... I'm just a little confused after that ;)

Thanks again!

Have you installed any new device drivers recently. Such as for a graphics card or some piece of other Hardware?
Have you reinstalled anything by Roxio? It normally comes as standard on some laptops/computers?
Also have you had a Virus or any other nasty recently? What Anti-Virus program do you run? e.g. Norton, AVG etc.
