Uh oh!

Hey guys, so I upgraded my motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU, and PSU last night, and I've unsurprisingly run into a pretty big problem. My computer boots, POSTs, gets to the bootloader, but not long after Windows 7 begins to load, I get a Stop error (BSoD).

After checking the boot log, the Stop error appears to happen after a driver called CLASSPNP.SYS is loaded, which, according to Google, is the driver for SCSI, which I don't even utilize lol.

I've tried a few things:
- Configuring the SATA drives as AHCI instead of IDE,
- Limiting my processor cores to 1, and
- Booting into all of the Safe Mode options,
but to no avail.

I still have a few tricks up my sleeve, such as clearing the CMOS, attempting a Windows Startup Repair, and removing my graphics card, but I wanted to know what you guys think about this.

My very last resort is to reinstall Windows.

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only (h/n/p)ope.


Hardware:
-ASUS P8B75-V LGA 1155 Intel B75 ATX Motherboard
-Intel Core i5 3470S Ivy Bridge 2.9GHz LGA 1155 Processor
-ASUS GeForce GTX550 Ti GDDR5 192-bit 1GB
-G.SKILL Extreme Performance 8GB (4x2GB) DDR3-1333MHz Quad-Channel Memory
-Rosewill CAPSTONE-550 550W 80 GOLD PLUS Power Supply

Get the hex code for the stop error. Those are often more useful.

0x0000007B (0xFFFFF990009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

I didn't have time to read the entire post, but hopefully THIS should help you out. Other than that try booting in RAID mode. What I got from some quick research I did is that the computer can't find the boot device. Hopefully it's not your HDD/SSD. Also, check your drivers (if you can) and make sure they're all good to go. A google search for your hex code should also turn up some more stuff. Good luck!

I wouldn't be able to get a Stop error if I couldn't get into the bootloader.

I can't check my drivers; I can't get into Windows.

This explains a lot.
One day later.

I'm sure you'll get it figured out soon.

The one time this smiley is quite appropriate.

LOL^

Yeah, so instead of wasting days over trying to fix this problem normally, I just said "LOL NO" and performed a fresh install of Windows. All is well again.

Did you loose any data in the process or was this a clean HDD/SSD? Glad you got the problem fixed

No.

The 7B error is generally an "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE" error. I'd recommend following the solution (marked in green) in this thread, then getting back to us.
