    Reseat the memory modules and run Memtest86+ (download it separately or get UBCD for further diagnostics).

    7B error is an inaccessible boot device error. Something is wrong with the Operating System integrity. And yes, this can indicate a disk hardware issue, but try the recovery DVDs and reformat the PC. Worst case scenario, you might need a new hard drive.

    If you need files off the PC there are tools in UBCD to try and migrate those, or you can get a SATA-USB cable to interface the hard drive directly with another working PC.

    LOL, nothing wrong with any "integrity".

    OP installed a HDD from another laptop (for testing purposes) and Windows boots up with a BSOD which is normal when you install a disk from another computer, e.g. 7B if the required SATA driver is not installed.

    Didn't read that part. Yes, you will certainly get funky issues when you do random brain transplants.

    Not likely. Windows 7 has all the SATA operations stuff lovingly baked in like your grandmother's cookies.
