    Here is the link for the second one that you mentioned (0x7F) Bug Check 0x7F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

    Interestingly enough the first value indicates it hit a debugger breakpoint that must of been left in the code. The flag is usually tripped due to a hardware issue.
    Can you post the minidump for it?
