View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • The computer has a large Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk. For example, the size of the SATA hard disk is 1 terabyte.
  • You put your computer to sleep state or into hibernation.
  • You try to resume the computer from sleep or from hibernation.
In this scenario, you receive one of the following Stop error messages:
  • STOP 0x0000007A
  • STOP 0x00000077
  • STOP 0x000000F4

Cause

When you resume a computer from sleep or from hibernation, the SATA hard disk drivers require the SATA hard disks to be ready within 10 seconds. However, a large SATA hard disk may take longer than 10 seconds to be ready. In this situation, the resume operation times out.
