Hello to all,
I have Dell XPS 400 computer which has Windows 7 installed in it. Whenever I tried to restart my computer, I get following Bugcheck information.
The bugcheck was: 0x0000007f (0x00000008, 0x801de000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
I don't know why I get this error message. Please help me to fix this error.
Thank you.

As per my information you receive "0x00000008" error because an some exception create while calling to the handler for a prior exception. As per my knowledge two different exceptions are used serially. But there are some several exceptions that can not be used properly. In such type of situation you get this error message. I think this error is created due to faulty hardware. In this case you have to check for hardware configuration.

I think there is some problem in your bios and that's why you are getting such type of problem. I think it may get corrupted or get damaged and that's why you get this bugcheck error. In this case you have to upgrade your bios to get rid out of this problem. Just look put for bios update for your computer on your computer's official site. Also install update Intel chipset driver.

Hey you are getting 0x00000008 error which is also called as "Double Fault". This error can occur due to following:
A kernel stack overflow : This type of overflow occurs when guard page is access and then kernel is trying to push frame. Due to absence of stack, stack overflow occurs and this leads to the "Double Fault". If this is the problem then you have to thread debugger extension to set the stack limits.

You get 0x0000007F error message when either of the following conditions exists:
*Your computer has hardware or software problems.
*You try to over clock the speed of your computer's processor.
It is also called as UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP.
If either software or hardware can cause a particular trap, a debug is required to determine which is the cause. If you suspect a hardware problem, try the following hardware troubleshooting steps:

1. Test the RAM in the computer by running the diagnostic software that is provided by the computer manufacturer. Replace any RAM that is reported as bad. Also, make sure that all the RAM in the computer is the same speed.
2. Try removing or swapping out controllers, cards, or other peripherals.
3. Try a different motherboard on the computer.

Try to use following two steps to fix this problem.
1.If you are over clocking the speed of your processor, set it back to the speed at which it is designed to run.
2.Check with the hardware vendor for any updated hardware drivers or BIOS updates, or both.

NOTE : For more information on processor faults, consult an Intel processor reference manual.
