0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues.
Can you get to Windows in any mode? Did this just start happening and if so did you do any updating or installation of software prior to BSODs?
