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!!
