Just updated some of the internals of my desktop PC this afternoon.

And Ryzen 9 3900X
DDR 4 Ram 2x8 gigs
New motherboard B550 Aorus master
Nvidia 1680ti

I've removed older components like these and reinstalled newer ones many times with zero issue on start up

I have an SSD drive with Windows 7 already loaded. That functioned perfectly before swapping these parts.

I attempt to:
-start in safe mode
-run windows repair
-run windows normally

All result in a blue screen that tells me "A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer"

Error code "STOP: 0X0000007E"

Does anyone know what this means and/or have a resolution?

I don't know, but Microsoft no longer supports Windows 7 so it is quite possible there is an issue between the OS and your drivers.

Newer components might not function on Win 7 since there is no longer any support.

That's just a guess. Good luck with it.

That's exactly the issue.

I reinstalled the old components and was going to install the new component drivers, then reinstall the new hardware.

Turns out, there aren't any mobo drivers for Win 7.

I love Windows 7, but just grabbed Win 10 off Amazon, so hopefully I'll be set after the OS install.
