0x7B BSOD - Help!

[nickster]

It turned out to be the burning speed of the CD which was causing the problem. As I mentioned above, I added the controller drivers to the CD for use in textmode and when setup was loading the files, I could clearly see the correct drivers being loaded before the bsod.

I was using decent Verbatim media but just as a test, I thought I would try a crappy Tesco CD which could only cope with x10 speeds. The first disc I burned on the Tesco disc worked like a charm (this was using an iso image which resulted in a bsod on the Verbatims). I then burned the image to a Verbatim at x10 speed and it worked.

Anyway, defcon has been lowered to 1 for the time being

Thanks for the help Tripredacus

Hello, I think you should look at trying to repair the master boot record.

Why?

Yep.

It is more common than you would expect.

The rule of thumb is:

• for CD burn at the LOWEST possible speed
  
• for DVD burn at an "average" (half max) speed

@ nickster:

Although you obviously have found the reason of your BSOD's and solved your problem yourself, I want to mention, that >this< thread would have been the best place for posting your problem.

Furthermore the start post of the linked thread contains suitable Intel AHCI drivers for your Intel ICH9R AHCI system.
