Windows Stop: 0x0000007E Blue Screen Error

[randomishlying]

Prior to the problem:

I recently decided to remove all my computer parts and thoroughly clean everything (sans the motherboard and cpu). After I put everything back in, and attempted to turn it on, I received a windows blue screen (I do not know if it the same error that I am receiving now). I decided that I would use DBAN, do an “autonuke” and erase everything on my hard drive.

The problem:

At this point I tried to do an install of Windows Vista 64bit, but immediately after the windows loading files screen, I get the stop error 0x0000007E. I get the same error every time I retry. I tried to boot in safe mode, but I had no success.
Based on some searching, the error seems to be for SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, but I have not yet figured out how to fix the error. This is the specific information after the error number: (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF800099007DB, 0xFFFFF9800181AA18, 0xFFFFF9800181A3F0).

To add to my confusion I tried to install Windows Vista 32bit, but I get this error instead, 0x00000039.

Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

I see. I just wanted to see what would happen if i tried to install Vista 32bit instead. In any case, my real intention is to install Vista 64bit, which I am still unable to do.

You wanna change settings in BIOS and anyyway you not gonna be able to us it cause of the activation key difference.

Oh. What settings should I change in BIOS? I am sorry, but I do not know what you mean by activation key difference.

I do not even make it to that point (where I would enter the authentication key) before I get the error. However, I do have an authentication key for the operating system that I am trying to install.

The boot priority has been set to cd/dvd first since this problem started. I don't think I have an option to try and fix windows, because the cd boots automatically.

That is wrong information. A 64-bit capable system will downgrade and operate 32-bit software with no issues; however, a 32-bit system in NOT capable of running 64-bit software. I know this really doesn't help the issue, but the blue screen codes you are referring to are often related to hard drive failure or the inability to identify the hard drive. I would start by verifying that all connections are clean and connected properly with no bent pins or loose connections. If at that time you are still unable to install to the hard drive, you can try to install a new hard drive and then perform data recovery of your current drive by connecting via a usb capable hard drive enclosure. I hope this helps.
