BSOD after Windows Logo

jkility · 23 Jul 2014

Hi

I bought a new PC case and have fitted everything from the old case to the new case (No new hardware, just a straight swap). All plugged in and wired up etc but seem to be having a problem booting to my SSD.

Boot up PC and BIOS recognizes the SSD. Then it tries to boot into Windows and comes up with an error screen saying Windows Failed to Boot, would you like to do a startup repair, I say yes and let it do its thing, it restarts and tries to boot into Windows, gets as far as the logo screen and then BSOD with the following error:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. if this screen appears again follow these steps:

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your had drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer

*** STOP: 0X0000007B (0XFFFFF880009A9928, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0X0000000000000000, 0X0000000000000000)"

Ran Seatools long and short tests and they both passed.
Booted into windows on another harddrive and ran Error Checking Check Disk and select both "Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, came up with errors and fixed them and still coming up with BSOD

I've got 2 other hard dries (1 bootable) and have managed to boot into windows with it and it works perfectly. I've got Hirens Boot CD and have attempted at running Check Disk but the F drive (SSD) is read protected and so is unable to. Not really sure where to go from here really.

Got a ASUS M5A99X EVO Motherboard if that makes a difference?

Hello and welcome jkility have you tried chkdsk in safe mode?
I f not try this and use the net access to run some scans for malware and look at what is in that drive.

Makea bootable Ubuntu disk http://www.ubuntu.com/download

Setthe BIOS to boot from the optical when the machine boots it will show you ascreen with TRY or INSTALL > select TRY. You can of course remove the hard drive and any otherdrives when doing this as if the optical alone is the only drive left in themachine then the BIOS will only find it to boot from.

Whenit is finished - it takes very little time you will get a screen like in thepic .

Openthe drive you want > User and dig down until you get to the data / settingsyou may be able to copy / paste the material you want to an external source orother installed drive doing this.

Iam not sure if it will but I have recovered tons of data etc using this methodboth on "dead" or just plain drives that you cannot get data fromusing Windows.

I'm not familiar with Ubuntu so see if ICit2lol's method works. Putting in my 2 cents below.

That particular hard drive, back up your info and throw it away. Once errors comes up, more will come in the future. No sense keeping it.

About the SSD, if you have a SATA-USB adapter, plug it in another computer and then run Windows Checkdisk choosing the option "scan for attempted recovery of bad sectors". If you come up with errors, do as what i stated above. If no errors, run Seatools on the SSD again doing long and short generic.

If no problems, then nothing is wrong with the SSD itself. You said you used another hard drive and you booted just fine which means nothing else is wrong hardware-wise. More than likely, your boot records got corrupted or an updated driver is causing the problem and you have to rollback the driver.

I would backup that SSD, format the drive and do a clean install of windows and see what happens.

Have you tried booting the SSD on safe mode?

About the motherboard, check this microsoft support link. It may help since it deals with your stop error code: Advanced troubleshooting for "Stop error code 0x0000007B (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)" errors in Windows XP

Try going into bios and check your sata controller and make sure it is set to what it was before the swap. It should be in AHCI with an SSD, but if you didn't set it that way, try IDE. If that doesn't work, set bios to optimized defaults.
