Advice Request Windows 7 SP1 RTM Black Screen of Death Loop 0xc0000034

[jamescv7]

According to Microsoft, Windows 7 customers that deploy the RTM version of Service Pack 1 can be affected by an issue which impacted users installing SP2 RTM on top of Windows Vista back in 2009.

Essentially, following the installation of SP1 RTM, Windows 7 machines can freeze or be thrown into a black screen of death loop by restarting.

The software giant explained that after reboot, Windows 7, now with SP1 RTM, will present the following error message on a black screen: “!! 0xc0000034 !! 142/53007 (_0000000000000000.cdf-ms).”

Restarting the operating system again will do no good since Windows 7 SP1 RTM users will end up at the same black screen with the same 0xc0000034 error message.

Microsoft should advise users to do clean installs, instead of upgrades.
