    Hello! I am sure there are many threads on BSODs, but I was hoping that by including the error message I received, the problem/solution could be narrowed down.

    Upon pressing the power button to wake my computer up this morning, I tried logging in and somewhere in the middle of this process the BSOD appeared. It started the "physical memory dump" but then disappeared and restarted my computer and everything was alright except for this message from windows:

    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
    OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3
    Locale ID: 1033

    Additional information about the problem:
    BCCode: 1000007e
    BCP1: C0000005
    BCP2: 805B6291
    BCP3: 8876FB34
    BCP4: 8876F830
    OS Version: 6_0_6001
    Service Pack: 1_0
    Product: 768_1

    Files that help describe the problem:
    C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini040509-01.dmp
    C:\Users\Conor\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-104536-0.sysdata.xml
    C:\Users\Conor\AppData\Local\Temp\WEREFDA.tmp.version.txt

    My computer is a Lenovo T61 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Any help would be very much appreciated!!

    those files are no longer there :(
    I think I ran CCleaner at some point afterward (due to virus paranoia) and it wiped them out.

    Will I have to wait for the next BSOD occurrence to get the information I need to fix it?
    And if I have an external hard drive plugged in via USB, and the BSOD decides to go full bore with the memory dump (that is, it dumps all the memory from my hard drive), would it also dump the memory from my external hd?

    Look in the event viewer to see if anything got logged there about the BSOD - if the event viewer got started before the BSOD happened, it might have caught the event.

    Also, do you recall if anything in the error messages that flashed by suggested that the problem was coming from your USB components? There's an MS knowledgebase article, KB925528 that comes up when searching the MS site for the term "stop-0x1000007E" (without quotation marks). You might read through that and then see if any of it applies to you.

    Beyond that, check through your event logs and see if there's some driver in the system that keeps coming up with informational or warning log entries about that driver misbehaving - if you find one, odds are that driver is causing the problem and needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled.
