    BSOD after "Starting Windows" screen


    I just built the PC though some parts were old.

    Shanks1, if it will help, a stop code 7B is usually an inaccessible Boot Device. Go to BIOS and check your boot menu and make sure your Hard Drive can be 'seen' by BIOS. If it cannot be seen, check your connections on both ends of the cable. If it can be seen, you may want to run Startup Repair Startup Repair, which is part of what Layback Bear suggested. The link he gave is about all that can be done when a system just won't boot.

    Did you do a clean install when you built the computer? If you didn't, that is most likely your problem. You will need to do one, Clean Install Windows 7.

    Great, glad it worked for you. So, you had not done one when you built the computer? When you are sure the problem is resolved, please mark the thread solved.

Hi, I've been getting a few BSODs recently with the error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and I have also noticed that when I start my computer, nothing shows up until the login screen shows so I can't boot in safe mode. I don't know what to do-please help! -Rixterz
Hello All, unfortunately, I'm back again with more problems. Few weeks ago I ran into some internet problems when I'm not sure are related or not.
