Background information on Stop Error message

This applies in your situation.

0x00000008, or Double Fault, indicates that an exception occurs during a
call to the handler for a prior exception. Typically, the two exceptions
are handled serially. However, there are several exceptions that cannot
be handled serially, and in this situation the processor signals a
double fault. There are two common causes of a double fault:

1. A kernel stack overflow. This overflow occurs when a guard page is
hit, and the kernel tries to push a trap frame. Because there is no
stack left, a stack overflow results, causing the double fault. If you
think this overview has occurred, use the !thread debugger extension to
determine the stack limits, and then use the kb (Display Stack
Backtrace) debugger command with a large parameter (for example, kb 100)
to display the full stack.

2. A hardware problem.

0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware
failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition
that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures
are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error
referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware
failures are the most common.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

If the computer does not automatically restart in safe mode that tends
to rule out what is used in safe mode.

I am getting a Stop Error: 0x0000007F
(0x00000008,0x80042000,0x00000000,0x00000000) every time I turn on the
computer. It dumps the memory and then reboots infinitely. I am able
to boot in Safe Mode. After booting in Safe Mode, I am also able to
boot using a selective startup (using msconfig) to load everything
except "Plug and Play" under the Services tab.

I have taken out all of my PCI cards and USB devices. I even changed
my mouse and keyboard, but I still get the error. How can I find the
device or software that is causing this error?

Thanks,

Ryan
