Multiple problems

Hi,
I just have a Vista 64 bit home premium that I got 3 weeks back. Lately
it has been having problems. One thing was that the computer would
randomly have BSODs with the error of 0x07e (I think, then again it
might be part of the error number, not sure)
In addition, I tried having the computer fix the errors by itself and
it couldnt, later on I found that the security processor loading driver
was not working. I tried to restart Vista with the installation disc,
but what happened was that a BCD error came out with the numbers
0xc000014c

I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me with this problem :zip:

FOr a :zip: answer I can't really help you, expect to make some suggestions:

If you search engine the STOP error number, the results show that typically
there could be a BIOS problem, a video driver problem, or the corruption of
a service:

[How to troubleshoot a Stop 0x0000007E error in Windows XP - Microsoft]


I'd make sure the BIOS was set to the defaults - especially if you've
overclocked - and then see what happens when booting from the installation
disc.

So, resolving these things can be a process of elimination:

Stop overclocking if you are overclocking. Is the BIOS set right? Is it some
startup program or configuration causing the problem? Has new software or a
new driver been installed? Has anything else changed? Have you scanned for
malware? Is the hardware OK with all riser cards firmly seated and all
cables and cords firmly plugged in? Is the RAM memory OK (to check look up
memtest86)? And so on.

And don't forget System Restore neither!

Right now the BCD error is preventing me from doing anything
I ran a virus check last night - no virus detected
The BIOs should be at default and not its not overclocked either

Some people in this group have reported that a recent Vista update
causes a BSOD with that error number, 0x07e on Dell computers.
The update is KB973879 and it went out on 25/8/09.

 

My answer was :zippier: lol

but he will probably have more success with yours, 'hope so anyway.

Thanks on the BSOD issue, but I still have the BCD error (Boot
Configuration Data) when trying to turn on the computer. Anyone know a
fix to this?

Have a look at this page:

 

That doesn't seem to work for me -
when it gets to this step:
Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD
or DVD …". appears.
I dont get that message and instead I get the error. I tried pressing
f12 for the computer to boot from the installation disk, but everytime I
try the computer doesnt respond and goes right to the error

Go into your BIOS and set its boot sequence so that CD is present and
ahead of the hard drive.

On my computer I can press Esc and get into a BIOS boot menu for a
one-time use; maybe you can do that.

If your computer is new, can't you get warranty support? Although if it
is only the Windows update problem, maybe you should ignore that idea

The "Press any key ..." message appears only if there's a DVD in the
optical drive, and the motherboard boots from the DVD.
A BCD error means that the motherboard attempted to boot from the hard
drive, but bootmanager sees problems in the BCD. Try fixing it using
Vista startup repair by booting from the DVD.

 

Alright, I fixed the problems thanks everyone
Oh and one final thing - I did a sfc scan and it turned up with the
tcpmon.ini as corrupt
Is this an important file to have?

If you google for it you'll find that it is a driver agent update file.
Un- and reinstalling your program is my suggestion, since it is corrupt.

You're welcome. Will you repay the posters here by telling them what
you did to fix the problem?

Sure, I managed to get to the boot options with f12(dunno why it didnt
work every other previous time)
Then I selected the Vista installation DVD as first to boot
Afterwards I tried to use the system repair to fix, but it didnt fix so
I used this:

*Method 2: Rebuild BCD*
*============================================*
1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then
start the computer.
2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from
CD or DVD …". appears.
3. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another
input method, and then click Next.
4. Click Repair your computer.
5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click
Next.
6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
7. Type BOOTREC /FIXMBR, and then press ENTER.
8. Type BOOTREC /FIXBOOT, and then press ENTER.
9. Type BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD, and then press ENTER.
(From '\Boot\BCD error'
())

After the BCD was rebuilt I was able to use Vista and I installed the
update KB973879

That pretty much fixed everything for me

And the tcpmon.ini is from
Microsoft-Windows-Printing-StandardPortMonitor-TCPMonINI

But I havent installed any printer or program that might use this, so
where can I find to reinstall this?

For your last question. I don't know, so I suggest Googling or
searching on Microsoft's site.

Thanks for the informative post...It looks like you could provide help
for others instead of needing to seek help here

Gene's suggestion leads you in the right direction.
The best way probably would be Microsoft directly.
I am sure you'll find what you are looking for.
Best of luck,

Harry.
