Welcome to PCReview.

In theory, this means that system configuration information is corrupted, especially files essential to Windows startup. In practice it is often caused by RAM problems.

The motherboard may be at fault ... any other hardware info may help.

Thanks
I am a bit of a newbie...
Could you let me know as to what hardware info?

We have a lot of useful software listed over at ...

... in among that lot is a program called Speccy, it'll list all the info you'll ever need.

You noted the motherboard, looking at the ram, but a list of your hardware won't go to waste.

I strongly suspect, especially if you have not added any new hardware recently, that it may be a case of, "crap happens" as does happen from time to time.

Hey
Thanks, will upload the rest of the hardware specs soon.
I just did a fresh installation of Windows 7 Home Premium, and it worked twice.
On the third boot I received the same problem, however, a different stop code:
***STOP 0X0000007B
(0X80D86B58, 0X0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

Any ideas?

hmmm, I'd say your hardware was incapable of running Win7, but then, apart from the MB you listed, I could be wrong, it could be wrong/incorrect drivers/hardware, or even a virus.

Trying to 'fix' a hardware problem by installing, or re-installing the operating system amounts to peeing into the wind. It wont get fixed.
