    BSOD after upgrading my computer 0x0000007B


    Hello, so yesterday I decided to upgrade my computer with a new motherboard/cpu.
    But I wanted to keep the old hard drive since I have all my files there, and everything was going smoothly until I actually tried to boot it.

    When I boot Windows 7 it gives me this bluescreen error:
    Code:
    STOP 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)
    I have tried to reinstall windows on another clean hard drive, but doesn't want to boot that either.

    Specs:

    Power supply: The one I had in my old HP Pavillion, 460w
    Motherboard: Asus M4A88T-V EVO
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
    Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 200GB 7200 ST3200822AS
    Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 460 1gb


    Windows 7 Ultimate x64 full retail
    The hardware is from 2010 or so.
    The age of the os installation is 2011.

    If you need more information just tell me.

    So, you are saying, that besides the drive you originally had installed Windows on, you tried do a clean install on another drive and it would not work as well? If that is the case, are you getting the same STOP code?

    No, on a clean install I get stop code: 0x0000006B "Process1_Initialization_Failed.

    I think it's a hardware problem, but thus far I haven't been able to figure it out.

    First, did you follow any ESD safety guidelines?

    1. It is a good idea to buy an anti-static wristband, and follow the instructions for use.(They are sold at most electronics stores.) If you are going to do quite a lot of bench work, you might do well to invest in an anti-static mat.
    2. If you don't have a wristband, you are not necessarily out of luck. Assuming that your PC is grounded, you can ground yourself by just keeping one hand in contact with the bare metal frame (not a painted or coated surface) of the computer case. Keep the PC power cord plugged in to a (3-prong) grounded outlet and turn off the rocker switch on the back of the power supply. If the power supply does not have a switch on the back, this won't work, however. Never work on a PC with the power on. In that case, you should buy an anti-static band or try another method of grounding.
    3. As an alternative, alter a standard 3-conductor power cord by snipping off the two flat blades, leaving only the grounding portion of the plug. Or simply purchase a cord like this from an electronics supply house. This accomplishes the same thing as turning off the rocker switch.
    4. You can employ an LCD Static Discharger. As a simple measure, you can hang it on your key ring and just dangle it. This is less reliable, but when it touches a ground, it should discharge the static electricity. Procedure:①Lightly touch the oval button with a finger. ②Make sure that the end of the conductive material touches a grounded conductor. (such as vehicle, human body, computer, metal or other) to release static electricity, and observe the LCD display.
    5. Some people claim that damage can be reduced by wearing little or no clothing, it is said that the less cloth that is in contact with your body, the less static is produced, though these claims remain unproven.

    The average person can carry up to 25,000 volts of static energy at any given time. This sounds like a lot, but because the current level is low, you usually won't notice it. Follow safe ESD procedures any time you open a computer.

    If the equipment is cold, wait until it has reached room temperature. ESD builds up much faster when it's cold and dry (low humidity).

    If you don't take steps to prevent ESD, you may regret it. Your computer can sustain serious damage without you knowing it. CPUs and memory chips of any kind are highly vulnerable to ESD. If you fry your PC with static electricity, you may soon start to notice random memory errors, blue screens, and lock-ups. Normally, you can't see (or even feel) ESD, but it is almost always there, so be sure to do the right thing. Your PC will thank you!

    Try not to open up computers while on thick carpets, petting long-haired pets, dressing, emptying the dryer, etc. Use common sense; don't do anything that would cause you to get a shock from touching something made of metal.

    Yea, I followed #2

    I'm not completely sure if the computer is damaged, but I managed to install Linux without any issues, the problem seems to be with Windows.

    Have you tried doing a Clean Install on the same drive that you were able to successfully boot Linux from?

    I just tried it and it didn't work, same bluescreen comes.

    0x0000006B "Process1_Initialization_Failed

    It just flashes for one second, and the pc reboots, and continues to bootloop until I shut it off.

    Along the same lines as Hanna 1, where did you obtain your Installation media? I wonder if this might be the result of bad installation media... I imagine you used the same install media before with no problems, but if it is a DVD, are there any new scratches or dust on it?

    Before doing the clean install, did you run the clean command in Diskpart? Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command
    NOTE: run the clean command. Do not run the clean all command.

    I tried to delete the file, but it wasn't there.

    The installation media is an usb pendrive I made 3 days ago so I could re-install windows on my laptop (since it doesn't have a dvd tray), so I doubt it's broken.
    I didn't run the clean command, but I can try it I guess.
