BSOD after fixing motherboard, error 0x0000007B
Dear Forum Members,
My Asus K70IC notebook running 64-bit Win7 failed to boot 4 days ago. It was a very hot day and the soldering of a BGA IC set loose. The problem was fixed by reballing. The notebook is now working perfect but previous Windows 7 install cannot boot any more. I get BSOD and error 0x0000007B at the beginning of boot process.
I tried system repair tools (no errors), chkdsk /f (no errors), fixing MBR, rebuiling BCD (cannot find installation) but nothing helped.
Nothing had been changed in the config before switching on again the working notebook except one thing: after realizing the notebook does not boot I removed the HDD and verified it in another Win7 notebook to make sure HDD is OK. It was OK, but I'm afraid the Win7 on another notebook automatically made changes in the BCD or drive letters. Could it be the main reason?
Please help me preserving the current Win7 installation on my notebook because installed apps store some very essential information for me which cannot be restored after a clean install. Clean install would be disaster for me.
Thank you in advance.
