I have noticed numerous threads have been made addressing this particular issue, yet the tips and solutions suggested in said threads did not really fix my 0x0000007E error, so I thought I'd better make a post detailing the specifics of the issue at hand.

The following is the message I get when I turn on my laptop:

*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF77756A2, 0xF7C84AE8, 0xF7C847E4)
*** sptd.sys - Address F77756A2 base at F7741000, DateStamp 47cf3bb9

The blue screen occurs whenever I attempt to enter Windows. I get to the part where I have the option to choose between normal and Safe-Mode Windows, after which the blue screen shows, the systems reboots and the whole thing repeats itself.

I have tried running chkdsk /r to locate and fix the nature of the error, but after each scan session a message is received stating that chkdsk has found 1 or more incorrectible errors.

My Laptop:

IBM ThinkPad T42

WIndows XP PRO
Pentium M 1,7 GHz
1 GB RAM
80 GB Harddisk
ATI Radeon (32MB) graphic card

Thank-you in advance,
XDTP

I am a bit confused...
Are you able to boot to safe mode?
Is that how you were able to run chkdsk?

But the fact that chkdsk found one or more errors probably points to the issue.

Also... look for other threads discussing memory.
