STOP 0x0000007E
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A system worker thread hit an error nothing caught. The failing address usually identifies the driver responsible — GPU and network drivers lead the statistics.
Likely causes, most common first
- A buggy or outdated driver — GPU and Wi-Fi drivers most commonly
- A driver incompatible with the current Windows version
- Corrupted system files
How to fix it
1. Update or roll back the identified driver easy
- Update the named driver from the vendor's site (link in the driver card).
- If the crashes began right after a driver update, roll it back: Device Manager → device → Properties → Driver → Roll Back Driver.
2. Update GPU and network drivers easy
- Clean-install the newest GPU driver from NVIDIA/AMD/Intel.
- Update the Wi-Fi/Ethernet driver from your PC maker's support page.
- Run Windows Update including optional updates.
