Q: Quick story, replaced a dead MB w / new MB, CPU, and PS. Does a repair install of XP. Everything was fine. Had a disc (SP2), so I did not have to go back and download the upgrade. Well, that was not so good. Again and again a reboot. Tried safe mode . no go .
Did to “not start automatically when a fault” and received the error dreaded
0×0000007e. Checked MS and no help. None of the things that seemed to apply (maybe MB BIOS Chaintech vnf3-250) u003e But heres the weird thing. If I boot in VGA mode works fine. Of couse I adjust the display properties back to a decent image. Only difference between Safe Mode and VGA mode seems to load Vga.sys (in safe mode) and loading my nVidia Quadro4 drivers in low resolution mode.
On the surface seems to indicate a corrupt file Vga.sys. Many HD space ect.
Anyoneone w / an idea ? Im stumped .
Best Answer: try reinstalling your windows or another option is you buy a genuine copy of the windows…^_^

Re:Thanks. Unfortunately mine has not gone away by itself. Just got done dumping a whole bunch of software out as well as adding some PCI cards back in. Figured what the heck they worked w/ XP for years…
Anyway same old same old. Now I just have it set to not reboot so I can SEE the eroor code and if it changes. Doesn't. Maybe I'll just rename vga.sys and see what happens
BTW: Win never asks to repair anything in regards to drivers so far

Re:I just read this problem on another site. The guy with prob had to do teh same boot vga.
He said he would have to do that every time until he decided not to repair the vga driver when it asks to and rebooted and it strangely just started working. I read it read when I was looking up forums about that motherboard with agp and pci-e setup.

Re:Yes, more than once… The nVidia drivers work fine once I get booted. It;s just somewhere in the initail boot that I'm stuck.
