system crashed... tried on top install of xp pro.. wont take. Keep getting
stop code ..

stop: 0x0000007e

Can anybody help?

And the cow jumped over the moon....

So let's try starting at the beginning.

What went wrong in the first instance?
Why are you reinstalling XP and in what manner - eg Repair Install, CLean
Install?
What steps have you performed?
How are you attempting to install XP?
Is your copy of XP Home or Pro, OEM or Retail, Full Product or Upgrade?

If you can details the events and the error message the chances of getting a
solution are greatly increased.

Hi agflit,

To determine what driver is causing the problem I need you to enable driver
verifier.
Steps:
1) Windows Key + R
2) Type in 'verifier' and hit enter
3) Make sure 'Create Standard Setting' is selected and hit next
4) Click on 'Select all drivers installed on this computer' and hit Finish
5) Reboot

There is a possibility that your computer will crash on reboot. If this
occurs hit F8 when rebooting just before the windows logo screen and select
the safe mode boot option. Follow the same steps above but on step 4 choose
'Select driver names from a list'; hit next; check the box next to any
driver where the provider is not Microsoft; hit Finish; reboot.

This will slow the performance of you computer a little while enabled but
will hopefully catch the driver causing corruption. Next time you crash
the blue screen will hopefully say something like
"DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION". If this occurs please send the
corresponding minidump (by default it is at c:\windows\Minidump ) my way.
If you have any questions or I didn't explain something well enough don't
hesitate to e-mail me back. Good Luck,
