Stop error on new build...old HD

I am stumped.

I bought the following for a new build:
-Asus P5WD2 Premium 955 ATX Mainboard
-Gigabyte 6800GT PCI-e
-WD Raptor 10k 37GB
-Crucial 2x512MB DDR2 800 RAM
-Intel P4 3.0GHz LGA 775 HT Processor

I carried over from my old system a Samsung SV6003H HD.

I am getting Stop 0x0000007B ( 0xF7C46528 , 0xC0000034 , 0x00000000 , 0x00000000 ) error message when trying to boot my new build.

I have tried each hard drive hooked up seperately and installing Windows XP Pro over the top of each HD (I cannot get it to install, same stop error).

My BIOS recognizes the Hard Drives and everything appears to be OK but then it errors out to the BSD with the stop message. None of the "fixes" I have found have helped my problem.

My old HD will boot in my old box and my new HD has nothing on it.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

That sounds like a memory error, not a hard drive problem.

I will try to test the memory when I get home.


The second parameter with the 0x00000034 is supposed to indicate:

The second parameter is very important because it can indicate whether the 0x7B Stop message was caused by file system issues or problems with storage hardware and drivers. Values of 0xC000034 or 0xC000000E typically indicate:

* Disks or storage controllers that are failing, defective, or improperly configured.
* Storage-related drivers or programs (tape management software, for example) that are not fully compatible with Windows XP Professional.

I went to Crucial's website and noticed that my particular "make" of RAM isn't listed for my MB. I am awaiting response from Crucial on whether there is some problem with my compatability.

I hope this is the problem because I have no idea where else to look.

Well the RAM was not the problem. My replacement RAM (which has been tested) is not fixing my stop messages.

I also purchased a new 300GB Maxtor HD and BIOS sees it but won't boot my Windows XP Pro disk copletely so I can install.

I am at a loss for words...

I have RMAed the RAM, Video card, and motherboard to try and solve this issue and it has not helped. The only thing I haven't returned is the CPU but it only hangs on the HDs for some reason...

Both those RAM types run at non-standard voltage, I bet you didn't even bother to go into BIOS and raise voltage to the appropriate setting!

Had to reset the CMOS, remove a bad Sata drive, and move the CD-ROM to the blue IDE and it ended up working...yay!
