I'm getting the following STOP error:

0X0000007E (0X80000003, 0X80AB14DD, 0XF720214, 0XF7C1FF14)

When I try to boot to safe mode, Last Known Good Configuration, or to a boot disk, the same blue screen with the STOP error above comes up. I've even installed a new motherboard.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

In response to Joseph Moore, the Recovery console isn't installed on this machine. When I'm able to boot to Windows, a CD or disk, I will install the Recovery Console for future problems like this one. The link you sent was helpful.

I have had this problem on a couple of XP and 2000 systems where it turned out to be the IDE cable. Replacing the 40wire cable that was going to the HD for an 80wire cable solved the problem in both cases.
