bsod stop error 0x0000007F no boot, no safe mode
I had a friend ask me to look at their Dell inspiron 8200 because of slowness. I suspect the 128MB of ram, but the first thing I did was the XP home SP2 update, after which..
BSOD on reboot. The screen flashes by pretty quickly, but I'm pretty sure the stop error is 0x0000007F. No other information. I could try to read the parenthetical numbers if it would help. There are no attached peripherals. I updated the bios to A11. Reseated the ram.
They don't have the original cd's.
The f12 diagnostics ran clean but want a cd to continue.

One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware failures are the most common."
