I think that I have the same problem as yourselves with a very similar machine;

The system I have is as follows
- AMD Athlon 3400+
- ASUS K8V SE Deluxe Motherboard
- SATA Raid drives (500Gb) on WinXP Promise FastTrak 378 (tm) Controller
- IDE Drive 160Gb
- ATI All In Wonder 9800 Graphics Card
- Adaptec SCSI Card AIC 7850
- Soundblaster Audigy

SOFTWARE
-

The above system has been working well with Windows XP SP 1 with all
critical updates applied. After installing SP2 I receive the following BSOD
error STOP 0x0000007E (0xC0000005,0xF7720750,0xF7902F430,0xF792F12C) . This
error occurs after the "Black" windows splash screen whilst the Blue progress
bar is active.

FURTHER DETAILS

I have tried the following returning to a stard build (using Norton Ghost)
between attempts;

1) I originally downloaded the Network version of SP2 – I then tried
applying the update using Automatic Update. This failed with the same error.
2) Boot into Safe mode works
3) Disabling all options in the Startup list using msconfig still did not
allow a boot up.
4) Disabling services that were not started up in Safe mode and then trying
a Normal boot did not work. I do not understand what else Safe mode is not
starting up but if I did I'm sure it would give me a clue.
5) Updated drivers for Graphic Card, Motherboard, Soundblaster and SATA
drives. This did not make a difference and I did not see any comments
regarding resolving SP2 issues.
6) Tried doing a startup with logging – The error seems to occur before the
logging starts so this hasn't yet helped to pinpoint the problem.
7) Tried installing onto IDE drive as the Active primary partition on the
first drive – This gave the same result.
8) Tried removing SP2 from Safe Mode – PC would then work again as normal
but obviously I cannot then benefit from the security updates.
9) Tried updating SP2 both with and without Norton Internet Security
Professional installed.
10) The error message does not list a particular driver in association with
the STOP message on the BSOD
11) Disabled various devices within Device manager (Sound card, Game Port
etc) without any success although I may have missed the important one.
12) Tried turning off DEP Protection using /NoExecute=AlwaysOff as opposed
to /NoExecute=OptIn

13) As a test I reinstalled XP from Installation CD and then applied SP2
using the IDE drive. This appeared to work OK although the system has no
third party drivers installed so several pieces of hardware do not work.
There would be a lot of configuration work for me still to do if I stick with
this build.
14) Searched the following;

0x0000007E, 0xC0000005, 0xFC5CCAF3, 0xFC90F8C0, 0xFC90F5C0 Error Message at
Startup {KB 321637} Win XP
- Followed this with a disable rather than an uninstall – Will try uninstall
next

0x0000007e Error When Registering OLEMSG32.DLL or CDO.DLL Files {KB 238265}
Win NT, Win 2000
- Does not match the symptoms

- Does not match the symptoms
 
“STOP 0x0000007E” Error Message After You Upgrade to Windows XP {KB 330182}
Win XP
- There is loads of hard disk place.
- I have not been brave enough to update the motherboard BIOS yet but have
not seen any comments about SP2 issues on the ASUS web site just a reference
to Supporting more processors.
- I have tried disabling devices but I haven't hit the right one yet (If
there is right one?)
