Stop Error Codes

I’m actually interested in who has experienced the wonderfull BSOD stop error code screens.

I did today while trying to repair a PC after having replaced a Mobo and CPU.

My specific Stop error related to the 0x0000007E flavour. It turns out that XP will quite happily load the intel processor driver (intelppm.sys) regardless of the fact that the system hardware has changed. A lot of hair pulling and research was required to find this out. So my fix was simple, if your swapping from an intel cpu to an AMD cpu then make sure you rename or remove the intelppm.sys file. Problem solved.

So, who else has had this?
