STOP: 0x0000007В : How To Fix STOP 0x0000007B Errors (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE)
It's a harddisk driver that's faulty or missing. Most of the time when switchin from IDE to AHCI mode in bios. Or you need a special SATA driver which isn't installed yet.

All of this is ridiculous in this case. I think many thing are corrupt and that's why it can't find/load the sata driver.

Why not simply enable system restore points? Install 5 updates.... test if system is still stable. If not do a "system restore". install updates 1 by 1 after system restore. So you know which update caused it!

This is an interesting task (to enable system restore points) for WinServ 2008 Ent R2 SP1

I think of this How to manually Enable System Restore on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. | pwrusr.com

Finally I implemented the procedure from the article mentioned above and got System Restore Points functionality working! BY the way the renewed link to the package mentioned their is http://www.pwrusr.com/wp-content/uploads/System Restore V2.zip

Now I will install the updates as you've advised.

How many updates have to be installed?
Write down which updates you installed.

First do top 10%, reboot. system working?
Do the same trick again and again, untill you know the faulty batch of patches.
Do a system restore and skip that batch of patches but do the other patches.
Try to install as much as possible

What patch(es) causes the problem?

So all updates installed fine... no problem? Strange

Now, yes. All updates installed, system seems to be stable. I'm checking it with sfc /scannow and SUR checker.

If everything is ok I will proceed with .Net framework 3.5 and 4.0 and all their updates.

Either the problem is deep inside and waiting for some trigger or we got round it successfully somehow.
