Cause of STOP 0x0000007B Errors

 

STOP 0x0000007B errors are caused by device driver issues (especially those related to hard drive and other storage controllers), viruses, data corruption, and sometimes even hardware failures.

 

Method A:

 

Restart your computer if you haven’t already done so. The STOP 0x0000007B blue screen error might be a fluke.

Did you just install or make a change to a hard drive controller? If so, there’s a good chance that the change you made caused the STOP 0x0000007B error.

Undo the change and test for the 0x7B blue screen error.

Depending on what changes you made, some solutions might include:

Remove or reconfigure the newly installed hard drive controller.

Startup with Last Known Good Configuration to undo related registry and driver changes.

Use System Restore to undo recent changes.

Rollback hard drive controller device driver to version prior to your driver update.

Verify that the SCSI chain is correctly terminated, assuming you’re using SCSI hard drives in your computer. Incorrect SCSI termination has been known to cause STOP 0x0000007B errors.
