Do you have the blue screen of death – 0x0000007b check for viruses on your computer remove any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers ?

Hello! Today, we have uploaded a blog post regarding one of the most famous blue screen of death for Windows. The 0x0000007B blue screen! This blue screen is very hard to find the reason because the error description does not tell you what is exactly wrong. Here we would like to tell you what you should try to resolve this problem. Sometimes it was easy to fix and sometimes it was really hard to fix the blue screen. This blog post is good for people who have Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Let’s try to fix it! 😀 😀 😀

There are two different set of instructions to resolve the 0x0000007B blue screen.

1. Did the blue screen appear all of sudden ?

2. Did the blue screen appear after chaning a hard drive ? (Scroll down to see this one)

Did the blue screen appear all of sudden ?

1. Try to do Windows System Restore

– Turn on your computer.

– Before the Windows logo appears, rapidly press “F8”.

– Now, you will see Windows Advanced Boot Menu.

– Choose “Last Good Known Configuration (Advanced)”

– This will bring your computer back to the previous system status which worked okay.

* If it did not work, try to restore the system to different restore point.

– Turn on your computer.

– Before the Windows logo appears, rapidly press “F8”.

– Choose “Repair Your Computer”

– If it ask you to select your user name and enter password, choose your user name and enter password.

– Choose “System Restore” and see the picture below to finish the system restore. (If possible, try to choose a date long before the blue screen appeared date)

2. Try CHKDSK /F /R

– Turn on your computer.

– Before the Windows logo appears, rapidly press “F8”.

– Now, you will see Windows Advanced Boot Menu.

– Choose “Repair Your Computer”

– If it ask you to select your user name and enter password, choose your user name and enter password.

– Now,  your will see “System Recovery Options”. Choose “Command Prompt”

– When the Command Prompt is open, type chkdsk /f /r c: (if your system drive is e: type chkdsk /f /r e:)

 3. Change SATA Mode in BIOS

– Computers have different BIOS, and it looks different so you will have to find the “SATA Mode” on your own.

– To access your BIOS, rapidly press “del” or “F1” or “F2” or “F10” or “F11” or “F12” (all computers have different keys to access BIOS. You need find what is the right key to enter BIOS. Normally, it tells you to press one of the keys to enter BIOS before it loads Windows.)

– Once you are entered, find SATA configuration in your BIOS.

– Change your SATA Mode or Configuration value from: AHCI to IDE

Did the blue screen appear after changing a hard drive ?

 1. Change SATA Mode in BIOS

– Computers have different BIOS, and it looks different so you will have to find the “SATA Mode” on your own.

– To access your BIOS, rapidly press “del” or “F1” or “F2” or “F10” or “F11” or “F12” (all computers have different keys to access BIOS. You need find what is the right key to enter BIOS. Normally, it tells you to press one of the keys to enter BIOS before it loads Windows.)

– Once you are entered, find SATA configuration in your BIOS.

– Change your SATA Mode or Configuration value from: AHCI to IDE

2. Are you trying to install a hard drive from AMD based computer to Intel based computer ? (or from Intel to AMD ?)

– If you are trying to install a hard drive from Intel system to AMD system (or from AMD system to Intel system) it will also display the 0x0000007B blue screen of death due to the chipset driver issue.

– The most simple way to make it work is to install the hard drive from Intel to Intel system or AMD to AMD system. it will probably work well if you move the hard drive to the computer that has same processor manufacturer. (Intel or AMD)

We hope many people resolved the 0x0000007B blue screen issue ! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Also, don’t forget to do virus & malware scan after you fix it. We do recommend you to use Bitdiffender, Kaspersky and Malwarebytes.
