Up gradation of Windows operating system to its upgraded version allows to use the additional benefits added into the upgraded version. A STOP error message after up gradation process occurs on a system that does not use an Intel processor. Two hazards that you encounter on a STOP error message occurrence are – uncountable hard drive and data inaccessibility. To overcome both of the above hazards, you will need to restore data from an updated backup. However, if no backup is available or backup falls short of restoring the required data, then you will need to use a powerful Partition Recovery Software to recover you lost files and folders.

Consider a practical example, where you upgrade your system (that does not use an Intel processor) to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3). After the up gradation process is complete and you restart your system, you encounter the below error message:

“A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer...

Technical information: STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xFC5CCAF1, 0xFC90F8C0, 0xFC90F5C1) SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED”

The four parameters in the above error message differ due to system’s configuration.

The above STOP error message makes the data saved in the hard drive inaccessible. Moreover, the same error message reappears each time you attempt to start your computer system.

Cause:

The above STOP error message primarily occurs when a Sysprep (System Preparation) image is deployed from a system that does not use an Intel processor from a system that uses Intel processor.

Resolution:

For comprehensive solution of the above error message, you will need to make some changes in the computer’s registry. To do so, you will need to take the below steps:

• Firstly, you will need to restart your system in safe mode.

• Click Start, Run, type regedit, and then click OK to open the Registry Editor window.

• Search and then click on the below registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Intelppm

• Right-click the Start entry on the right-pane, and then click on Modify

• Type 4 in the Value data box, and then click OK.

• Lastly, exit Registry Editor and restart your system.

However, if you encounter the same error message even when you restart your system, then you will need to use advanced partition recovery software to recover your data. Such file recovery software utilities employ effective scanning methods to completely scan and recover data from a storage device.
