that error did show up a couple of times. Now it's showing the 0x000007F error. I tested the RAM twice, it's fine. I really believe that it's my HDD, i dont remember this happening to my IDE HDD, which im gonna sell tomorrow in a huge garage sale my family is having to get money since my dad is in the hospital recovering from a heart attack. I repaired my SATA HDD too but that didnt do anything. I even unplugged the network cable thinking some viruses r automatically going onto my computer when i load up Vista.

y did i post this thread in this forum? Because it was viruses that ruined my computer n cause me to reinstall Vista all over again, it's been two months since my computer got messed up, Makaveli213 knows the whole story.

ive decided to buy a new HDD, same kind but one with 32mb cache instead, because i looked over the Seagate warranty n i dont think the warranty is gonna cover this. I read that they wont cover "improper installation," which this problem is.

i talked with tech support today with Microsoft, told them what was happening n they said there gonna set my problem as unresolved, thus not charging me for using tech support. I swear, i was getting blue screens everywhere, most times when i took out the Boot DVD to load Windows error 0x000007F would show up. Would a new HDD solve my problem?
