Win7 recovery error after installing new mobo, cpu and ram.

[gizmo1990]

I had a system failure recently, motherboard conked out, so I'm having to rebuild. I ended up getting a new motherboard, cpu and ram. My old system ran a intel 90gb ssd for the os and a 1tb hhd for other stuff. The os is win7 64bit.

I've connected everything up except for the hhd so it's just the ssd. Upon boot I'm getting a windows recovery error. I've tried letting windows repair it with no joy and done some system restores which also failed.

Basically everytime I try to boot into windows normally I get the spinning coloured dots but then it blue screens very quickly and resets.

Can anyone suggest to me anything which I should be doing here? Anything I've missed? I really would like to not have to reinstall w7 and then all my other software. I also have some files on the ssd I'd like to get back. Could I pop the ssd in another system and accress them as another drive?

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Tonester007.

Right the bsod says,

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured and terminated. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A98E8, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)


Could any of this have anything to do with me not connecting up the sata hdd?
