XP SP2 boot problem BSOD error 0x0000007E

[coolguy]

AFter Installing Windows XP sevice Pack 2, and restarting
my PC I get the Blue error screen with the following
error:

***STOP: 0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0xf7850750, 0xf7a2f430,
0xf7a2f12c)

I am unable to enter windows, however I can start windows
safe mode. I believe this problem is being caused by a
device driver that is incompatible with SP2 but works
fine on SP1. The trouble is trying to figure out which
device driver is causing the problem. I have a Nvidia
Geforce FX 5900XT with the latest forceware drivers
(61.77) which are not digitally signed, could this be the
problem? Is there a way of identifying the exact problem
using the error code above. If anyone knows a solution to
this please reply, thanks.

The BSOD message is likely to list a driver name which should help. If
it doesn't then it might be worthwhile looking at the following thread
which describes a problem with some very specifid machines.
