Common Reason for Blue Screen 0x0000007e Error

This error message is generally displayed for some corrupted driver or failure to load any particular driver into the memory of the Operating system. This occurs due to improper shutdown or abnormal program behavior due to faulty references to objects outside the scope of the program. If it did sound techy, let me explain it to you in simple words.

Say for example you have installed a new hardware for your device. This device has come with an installation disk and you have successfully installed the program to your computer. Now if the driver requires you to have another program in your system which it uses for its dll (dynamic link library) references, your system should make sure it is available to the program whenever t needs it. Now if during the execution of the program, it is unable to find the dll reference file and there is no code written to handle that particular exception it will lead to the crash of your system. A common example is when you install a new game. If it requires you to have updated version of direct x in your system and it is unable to find it, your system crashes with a blue screen error message.
