How about looking for some context in the logs?

Since I can't figure out what diagnostic is used where
I'd just search my whole drive for that string 8007043B
or at least search files which had changed that day which
contained it.

BTW once you get some context you may find other codes
and names to do similar searches with. Eventually you can
infer a meaning to it all even if there is no documentation available.

Good luck
