2 days ago I bought a new computer and after installation of Windows and motherboard drivers I get a BSOD every time I start windows normally.
The motherboard is MSI z97 gaming 3. I have tried reinstalling Windows and the drivers a couple of times, searching for the BSOD code in google and the result is that I cannot find out what's causing the error. I don't use any OC and haven't found any thread about that particular error.
*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000420, 0xFFFFF800031E8B8D, 0xFFFFF8800410E468, 0xFFFFF8800410DB90)
As the first thing after installation of Windows I installed the latest motherboard drivers and then installed all drivers that came on a cd with the MB.
My RAM is HyperX FURY DDR3-1866 16GB CL10 (HX318C10FBK2/16).
0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues.
This is likely to be a driver issue or RAM fault. the first driver I'd look at is the sound card driver. It is usually the one to cause these problems.
