I WONDER WHO MADE THAT BSOD THREAD? OH HOLY SHIT IT'S NANOR. THAT GUY'S GREAT AT MAKING PCS. I WONDER WHAT'S WRONG.

Shut up, elDiablo.

Well I built a wee PC and it fucking starts so none of you assholes can take that away from me. Trouble is I can't boot into Windows, safe mode or otherwise. I do however have access to a command prompt through system repair. Before I rush out to the shops and buy some DVDs to write Windows on, is there anything I can do to prevent me losing my files?

The stop code is Stop 0x0000007B for anyone curious.

Cheers guys!

it's likely there is some motherboard chipset driver from your previous mobo that's still installed, try and search for how to remove them from the command prompt. (I have no idea how to myself or i'd provide more info :p)

Run chkdsk on your hard drive. If the boot volume is corrupted, the chkdsk command might repair the corruption.

Important: You'll likely have to run chkdsk from the Recovery Console.

Note: This will likely be the solution if the second hexadecimal number after the STOP code is 0xC0000032.

That might help?

Working from the assumption that you've replaced the motherboard but are trying to boot a previous install that was based on a different motherboard, I suspect that thatbloke is correct - it'll be the motherboard drivers that are fecking things up.

Sadly, past experience has told me it tends to be a lot easier to do a reinstall of Windows on the drive. Not necessarily a full format, mind, but at least a fresh install from a Windows DVD. That way everything Windows needs is configured before first boot and all you need to do is update a few drivers.

If you *really* want to hang on to your existing install, if you can find a way of modifying the registry you might want to start by modifying the SATA settings to work with/without AHCI - there are a few guides floating about the internet as to how to do this. That tends to be one thing that is quite motherboard/southbridge dependant and can stop a system booting if setup incorrectly. It's quite trial and error though, and since it might not even be the cause of your problem I'm sure you can see why a reinstall might be an easier option...

Nvidia 750i to P68, yep totally down to it being asus. Ignoring the fact its 100% different platform, you were lucky but its against the rules of the world. Don't do it.
