How To Fix STOP 0x0000007B Errors

Note: Some of these steps may require you to access Windows via Safe Mode. If that's not possible then skip those steps.
  1. Restart your computer if you haven't already done so. The STOP 0x0000007B blue screen error might be a fluke.
     
  2. Did you just install or make a change to a hard drive controller? If so, there's a good chance that the change you made caused the STOP 0x0000007B error.

    Undo the change and test for the 0x7B blue screen error.

    Depending on what changes you made, some solutions might include:
     
    • Remove or reconfigure the newly installed hard drive controller.
    • Startup with Last Known Good Configuration to undo related registry and driver changes.
    • Use System Restore to undo recent changes.
