Hi Dennis,

It seems unusual for a monitor to have such an effect. Unless there is
something odd with the video card or video card driver. Windows will gather
monitor information about the monitor through pins in the video cable from
PnP monitors. Here is what Microst KB says about stop code 0x0000007F..

You might try booting into safe mode, and re-installing the latest video
drivers for it.

Subject: [PCBUILD] STOP Error on new Dell


Hello Everyone,

I'm setting up a brand new Dell and everything went well using the monitor
that came with it. But when I connected a different monitor, which is a
Zenith 15" LCD monitor/tv I got the BSOD before the Windows welcome screen
comes up. The error is Stop: 0x0000007F 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000
0x00000000. If I hook up the monitor that came with it, everything is fine.
The Zenith LCD was connected to an older Dell that is being replaced. The
old Dell was running Win98. The new one is Windows XP, SP2 with all current
updates applied. Running AVG Free, Zone Alarm Free. I uninstalled Norton
Internet Security/Antivirus that was pre-installed on the new Dell because I
don't like it. The Zenith monitor is model Z15V36. It did not come with a
driver disk.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Dennis Thiel
