A STOP error occurs when your hard drive suffers fatal errors such as hardware defects, incompatible drivers, unsupported software or services, missing or damaged system files etc. They bring operating system to a halt and hence place your data at risk. In such situations, your recent data backup can help restoring the lost files, unless it is not invalid or incomplete. But, if you find any issues with it, Hard Drive Recovery solutions can extract the lost data.

Consider a situation, you start your computer and receive one of the following error messages:

“STOP 0x0000007A”

Or

“KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR”

It generally occurs in Windows 2000 based systems. The error message describes four parameters: lock type held (1, 2, 3 or PTE (Page Table Entry), Input/Output status code, current process and virtual address that is unreadable into memory.

Cause

STOP 0x7A error occurs when system requests for a page of kernel data from paging file on hard disk, but fails to read into memory. It can happen due to the following reasons:

Bad sector in paging file

Virus infected hard drive

Hard disk controller issues

Failing RAM

Hardware defect

Solution

To solve the above STOP error, you need to follow these methods:

If I/O status code is 0xC000009C or 0xC000016A, then it indicates bad sectors. Try restarting the hard disk. Doing so will run the Autocheck that can identify bad sectors or alternatively, you can run chkdsk. If bad sectors are logical, reformatting the hard disk will remove them. You can restore lost data from an updated backup. If such backup is not available or invalid, you need to usehard drive recovery software .

Scan your hard disk using an updated and powerful antivirus application, if virus infection is the issue.

If I/O status code is C0000185, you should check disk cables

Consult Hard Drive Recovery services, if hard disk cotroller is causing the problem

You need to run hardware diagnostics to determine RAM failure issues

Hardware diagnostics also identify other hardware concerns
