0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms795746.aspx
"0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation occurred.
Faulty device driver or system service. A faulty device driver or system service
might be responsible for this error. Hardware issues, such as BIOS incompatibilities,
memory conflicts, and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error."
A device driver may have had the problem, but it could just
as easily be caused by a memory error with the memory itself.
For peace of mind, you could try a couple passes of this tester.
Versions are available, to make a self-booting floppy, CD, or USB stick.
I use the floppy, since there isn't much else you can do with the
floppy. If I make a USB stick version, I keep erasing it so I can
reuse the USB stick.

I've had several lots of memory fail, a couple years after
buying them. So even if memory tests good the day you bought
it, it doesn't have to stay that way.
