How do I find the driver BSODing my system?

I'm getting a STOP 0x0000007E error after the XP booting screen starts up. It does not give me a file like it typically does (like stop 0x0000007E in baddriver.sys). But from reading up on it I'm pretty sure its due to a driver problem.

I could boot into safe mode until a tried a repair reinstallation of XP from the CD. Now it says it can't complete the reinstall from safe mode.

My plan is to disable the service from the recovery console but there are about a million of them. Is there any way I can find where windows was when it crashed?

I tried boot logging but there is no Ntbtlog.txt in the C:\Windows directory upon reboot to the CD recovery console.
 
I can't get into safe mode anymore. I tried reinstalling windows thinking it would reinstall all the drivers but I get the same crash after the first reboot during the reinstallation. Once reinstallation starts, you can't get into safe mode until it finishes.
 
Check for a memory.dmp file in c:\windows or a minidump file in c:\windows\minidump.

Since you can't boot into safe mode, you're going to need to copy the dump file off to removable media and view it on another system.
