The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

Either a driver fault or your video could be on its way out..... to my eyes anyway.

Update Windows, video card driver and see what happens.

If swapped motherboards, do a WIndows repair or even a fresh install.

You'll need to do an clean install of windows then going from one mobo to another will always lead to problems if you don't do a clean install of windows from the same mobo to another of the same make model is all good but never from one mobo to a different one

Not really. Windows 7 and above handle you changing the hardware pretty well most of the time. I mean a clean install is a nice to have, but not always necessary these days by any means.

Information wants to be free. The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

It is pretty much the same as final text says.

The device driver dxgmms1.sys (default location c:\windows\system32\drivers\dxgmm1.sys) generated an unhandled eror i.e. unexpected (obviously) and the Operating System took over at that point and printed your blue screen.

Dxgmms1.sys is part of the DirectX software of the system. But, isn't the actual graphics driver.

The line - 0x1000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF8800854DE1D, 0xFFFFF880061FB6A8, 0xFFFFF880061FAF00)

Gives the code number of the error - 0x1000007E. The next line - Error: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M is a text code of the same error.

The remainder of the error code line i.e. numbers in brackets are parameters for the error. i.e.

(0xFFFFFFFFC0000005 - The exception code that was not handled

0xFFFFF8800854DE1D - The address where the exception occurred

0xFFFFF880061FB6A8 - The address of the exception record

0xFFFFF880061FAF00 - The address of the context record).

It is nothing to worry about unless it keeps happening. Then it might indicate your OS files are corrupted.

It isn't a hardware failure since it isn't happening in any code that is directly accessing hardware.

It is just one of those bugs that any large piece of software has.

It will probably never happen again and will probably be patched in Windows updates some day.

Try system recovery DVD if you got it..
Can try booting up in safe mode and uninstall required driver.
or Need a fresh OS install.
