Question about Dell Dimension E520 PC Desktop

Blue screen Dell Dimension 0x0000007B

7B blue screen on regular start or safe mode. 7B blue screen when trying to boot from the xp cd. 7B blue screen when trying to boot with ERD Commander cd. 7B blue screen when trying to boot with either cd and the hard drive disconnected. If I change the hard drive mode to raid from auto it will get a 0X0000024 error when booting from the hard drive, but a 7B error from the boot cd, even with the hard drive disconnected. I have tried connecting both the CD and HD to sata ports 4 and 5 - same result. I changed/moved the memory to different slots. I cleared the CMOS and loaded bios defaults. I'm thinking that the Sata controller on the motherboard is bad, but how can I be sure before I scrap the computer? Thanks, Chris

The problem occurs without the hard drive installed. I'm aware that viruses can cause a blue screen, but not usually when they are not installed.

I can't boot up normal, safe mode, or to the cd-rom on my dell dimension 4600 desktop, i've set to boot to cd rom in bios, but still nothing

If you are trying to boot off an Windows Installation disc then you might have a problem. On some computer the CD-ROM drive won't be able to read the operating system disc.

The solution to this issue would be to put in a DVD drive and try to boot from that.

More details on the normal and safe mode boot attempts would be nice too. Are you getting a blue screen or is it just hanging up?

Hi, Boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 at bootup and choose
'Safe mode with command prompt'

At the command prompt type

Windows xp tries to start in safe mode screen then as program starts gets brief blue screen then back to safe mode start selection screen once again this keeps repeating

your system will do this as it has shut itself down to protect itself, to make the blue screen stay on so you can write down the error code (e.g stop 0x0000007B),you need to choose the option of `disable automatic restart on sytem failure` (this will be on safe mode screen, reboot, then when you get the B.S.O.D it will stay on and display an error code, google it and you get the answer or post the code on here and i`ll tell you

Getting a blue screen stop error, but cant log

Please try to start from the beginning and reformat the hard drive by shutting down the system with the cd drawer open. Then insert the windows disk and turn on the pc then the drawer closes and when it tells you boot from cd press enter. Then windows will load. It will give you a couple of options. Always choose format partition. Then you should not have any problems. Unless your hard drive is bad.
