First, my laptop will just show the logo then BSOD (just black screen, nothing more). I restarted and tried opening in safe mode (F8 > Safe Mode) but still the same result.

I then tried formatting my laptop when it got interrupted (power failure, the battery is not in). The formatting is already ongoing. I tried it again but now even before the "Windows starting setup" finish BSOD pops up with
***Stop: 0x0000007f (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
at the bottom.
Could anyone please help me?

Hello Meeyah.

This error is usually attributable to a hardware failure in the computer. And according to the data you have provided the error is a 'Divide by Zero error' Unfortunately the error message by itself isn't enough to determine what is causing this failure. The chances are good that you have a RAM issue, this should be tested using MEMTest or perhaps Prime95. This should help you identify any faulting module, and get it replaced.

It is also possible that an external device or add-on may trigger this trap, when you install the OS disconnect any peripheral device prior to installation and see if that helps too.

Have you overclocked components in the machine, if you have disable the overclock prior to attempting the re-install.

If these steps fail there is a chance that you may have a more critical error that needs to be addressed, what is the warranty status of your machine?

Okay, I'll try those later. Hope one works.
By the way, I forgot to mention earlier that when I tried starting my laptop it will only show the logo then black screen with commands "F1 = continue; F2 = Setup" . When I press F1, it will lead me to BSOD with words "Operating System not found." F2 just leads me to BIOS. I can't get within windows and I think your first instructions need that, right?
Thank you for your time and help in advance.
