BSOD on every boot. Can't Safe Mode or Recovery
Found this great forum while scouring Google for some help because I'm frankly not that familiar with Windows 7. Also, this isn't a computer that I used, so I'm not familiar with what exactly was happening, if anything, before the situation it's in now.
My friend has the following system:
Gateway NV7915u
Intel Core i3 330M 2.13Ghz
500 GB SATA HDD
4 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
On Start Windows Normally, it just freezes on "Starting Windows" I have left it like this for days with no progress.
On Launch Startup Repair, "Windows is loading files..." OK Then when "Starting Windows" appears, BSOD:
DRIVE_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
STOP: 0x000000D1
On Safe Mode, BSOD at classpnp.sys:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
STOP: 0x00000050
On Debug Kernel, freezes on "Starting Windows"
On Windows Home Premium 64-Bit Recovery Disc (I downloaded this, I did not make it from this system, the owner never did this), Windows Setup [EMS Enabled].... "Windows is loading files..." OK, Progress bar moves a bit and then:
STOP: c00021a {Fatal System Error}
The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000
The system has been shut down.
If I use a Retail Windows 7 Disc, "Windows is loading files" OK, then "Starting Windows" the logo forms, and boom:
STOP: 0x0000008E
I took the HDD out of this system and popped it in my tower. I ran a virus scan (as expected, nothing found), ran an Advanced System Care 5 scan/cleanup. Then I ran a Check Disk (Checked - Automatically fix file system errors and Checked Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors), finished fine. no issues.
All files are accessible and everything seems fine on the HDD when it's a slave in my tower.
So at this point, since I cannot boot into any form of Windows or repair or command prompt that I am aware of, what can I do?
Is there a way to repair the OS or whatever could be wrong on the HDD when it's a slave on another system?
The other system I plug the HDD into is running XP.
Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate it.
