Notes

  • Not all "Stop 0x0000007F" errors are caused by the problem that is described in this article.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of a stack overflow in a Windows kernel-mode thread. A stack overflow is caused by a function that consumes more space on a thread stack than is available. Windows generates a Stop error to prevent possible corruption of data that is adjacent to the thread stack location.
