BSOD - tried everything, keep getting stuck! Help!

Hi guys,

I registered here to try and get some help with a computer I have.

I bought a computer from a friend leaving the country and had it working fine (acer computer). The other day it will not start up at all... Power, but not post beeps or activity. After some trouble shooting I find out it's the mobo, and change it. In the mean time I put my drive in an alternate computer to see if that was the potential issue. I got a BSOD on that computer but didn't think any thing of it.

Now I cannot boot into windows (windows 7)
It will get to the start of the windows logo and crash... Then give me this error

0x0000007b (0x80786b58, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I have read pages about drivers and ahcii changes and I can't seem to get anything to work.

Tried windows repair - it says it cannot be fixed
Restored to earlier save points with no difference
Tried changing the ide mode to simple instead of advanced - still no boot
I tried to use a windows install cd to repair things, but i don't know what exact version is on this computer and the disk says that it doesn't have the right one to install... Now i don't know how to tell what specific build I have on that computer.

Am I missing something?
Anyone help?

Thanks in advance!!
Chad

Hey Richard,
Thanks for the BSOD posting information...
Unfortunately I cannot get the OS running, so most of the things that I can help from that - I cannot even get at.

As far as I know...
x64
Originally installed was VISTA (FROM ACER)
I dont know if this was upgraded to 7 or fresh - my guess is upgraded
Not a RETAIL version
Computer is about 2-3 years old from what I can tell
I dont know when the OS was upgraded/changed, but inside of that timeframe (2-3 years)

The new MOBO is an ASUS board, and everything fires up with it - just cant get the OS going!!

Thanks again!
Chad

Yep - same crash going in safe mode.
I think the last driver I saw was disk.dll or something - when I checked the driver logging as windows loaded
Good try though

I can get into the repair and restore console - but it keeps saying that it cannot repair this computer - will those disks get me to something different?
After the computer doesn't boot once I can get to the repair console

Yeah - I will take a look aT that - the only thing that might help is the safe mode startup repair thing - I haven't tried that...

Thanks!!!

Ok, so I am able to run sfc /scannow from the command prompt through the recovery console - but every time the console starts it tries to repair things... Then when i run sfc it says that there is a pending system repair that requires a reboot... I restart and its all the same thing over again... The system repair just keeps saying that it cannot be done automatically...

Also - when the startup repair fails I am getting an error that says

StartupRepairOffline

This shows in the problem signature area...
I saw lots of others with the same problem but didn't see any real answers...

Ideas??
