Put in a new motherboard into my machine recently, lo and behold Windows doesn't like it and refuses to boot. Throws up the infamous Stop: 0x0000007B error.
Now I know the best thing to do would be to install Windows 7 fresh and just back up my data, but I only want to do that as a last resort. When I try to run the upgrade option, the setup tells me to reboot into the installed Windows 7 and run the setup from there, which I can't do because of the BSOD.
So basically what I ask is, is there anyway to get the Windows installation to play nice with the new motherboard without having to wipe everything out and start all over again?
