Anyone got any ideas how to troubleshoot a STOP 0x1000007e code

[Carol Haynes]

I am getting daily (sometimes 2 or 3 times daily) random reboots on my
system and it is getting really frustrating.

I used DUMPCHK.EXE to expand the minidump file produced but can't work out
how to stop the problem. I have reproduced the output below.

The things I have tried so far are:

* Looked up the STOP code on MSKB and there are two entries both related to
resuming from hibernation. I do not use hibernation so that can't be the
problem.

* The output below suggests that the sound system may be involved in the
problem as KMIXER, DRMKAUD, SPLITTER and DMUSIC are all part of the MS
Kernel for the audio system. I have uninstalled all my audio drivers and
reinstalled from scratch - they are Audigy ZS2 Platinum Pro drivers. I also
have a Hauppauge TV tuner installed which has audio drivers. Finally I have
SoundTaxi which converts ausdio files (but uses some driver technology to do
its job).

* Unlocker is part of a utility that allows files in use to be unlocked when
required (it is a user action so no automated unlocking of files). I have
uninstalled this and left it off my system for a while but it didn't make
any difference so I have now reinstalled it as i find it very useful.

* I have uninstalled and reinstalled all my motherboard and graphics card
drivers.

* I have removed a second USB disc drive (mentioned in another thread) and
that has removed the probelms with drive page errors appearing in my system
logs.

* I have run stress tests on my system which worked flawlessly for hours at
a time (I used nVidia's system stability test and while it was running I
used 4 different AV packages to play DVDs, Video and multiple audio files,
surfed the internet, scanned, printed images etc)

* I have run DOS based utilites to test memory and other onboard hardwear -
no problems were shown up.

Note apart from the SaveDump entry and other entires during recovery from
the STOP condition there are no other errors appearing my system logs. All
my hardware/software seems to work normally and 95% of the time I can do
anything I want with the system without problems.

Any help would be really appreciated

TIA

Very impressive diagnostic review. Seems like you've covered most of the
common causes. I would suggest you create an alternate account/profile. It
might be an obscure problem with your NTUser.Dat file. It does sound as
if the Sound drivers may be a factor in the reboots. Have you checked the
forums for both Audigy and Hauppauge ? Sometimes you just end up with
a hardware/driver configuration that doesn't play well together. Are both
the
Audigy/TV Tuner PCI Cards ? If so which slots are they loaded into ?
( Count downward from the AGP/PCIexpress slot(s). )

Thanks.

I hadn't thought of that. Worth a try - but if it is a hardware/driver
problem it probably won't help much.

The strange thing is I have had this system up and running with the same
hardware and same drivers for nearly a year and the problems have only
emerged in the last couple of weeks. Everything has played together
brilliantly so dar and I have been very happy with the setup.

( Count downward from the AGP/PCIexpress slot(s). )

Unfortunately I haven't got much scope for moving stuff around as there are
two video cards installed and I need to keep the airflow clear.

Cheers
