     Interpretation:​

     The 0x0000007E error commonly points to a driver or hardware issue. Since you have already verified the RAM and confirmed it's working fine, the problem may lie elsewhere. To troubleshoot this issue further and potentially resolve it:
     • Update Drivers: Make sure all your drivers, especially those related to critical system components, are up to date.
     • Check Hardware: Look for any recently installed hardware devices or components that could be causing conflicts.
     • Scan for Malware: Run a thorough antivirus scan to rule out any malware issues.
     • System Restore: Consider using System Restore to revert to a point before the issue started to see if that resolves the problem.
     • Boot into Safe Mode: Try booting into Safe Mode to see if the issue persists. If not, it could indicate a driver problem.
     If you encounter this error again or need more assistance, providing additional context such as recent changes to the system or software installations can help in providing a more specific solution.
