MB: GA-MA78GM-S2h
RAM: Crucial 2x2 Ballistix kit
CPU: AMD 9850 black
HDD: WD caviar 320gig
--------------------------------
Posted fine then tried 2 load windows XP and after a few mins of loading it crashed with the stop code 0x0000007b which is a hard drive error i found out. Upon reboot it would keep getting stuck on Verifying DMI Pool Data. If somone could shed some light on why this would do this please help. Every PC i have built i have never had 2 adjust the bios 2 accept a HDD. Im so lost a nice step by step would be great. Thanks

By "Posted fine then tried 2 load windows XP", do you mean that you were installing Windows XP or that it was already installed? IDE or AHCI mode?

You'll probably have to clear the CMOS to make it boot again.

I assume that you use onboard video, but do you have a good PSU? Are voltages within specs in the BIOS? Is a driver required for XP (F6 at installation time)? Have you tried installing Vista?

the PSU i assume is power supply unit? if so its a 500watt Coolermaster. if u mean processor its a 9850 AMD black edition. I dont own vista = ( im a broke college kid lol. ill look into the BIOS voltages and see if there is anything i can change.

You're dealing with an ACHI issue. You probably got a message in the POST screen, asking you to enable ACHI mode for SATA. If you choose yes, Windows will show you an 0x0000007B error.

Resetting the BIOS and ignoring the question (by choosing 'No' in POST screen) will resolve your issue. You can do this with a jumper (a tiny piece of plastic with metal inside). Do this when your PC has no power (unplug it) and inserting the jumper on the motherboard. Location is near the CMOS battery (large and round battery, you can't miss it). Alternatively you can use a screwdriver to short the two pins and reset the BIOS. But do this at your own risk, I prefer a jumper.

The ideal setup is a pair of spst pushbuttons on your front panel, connected in series to the reset pins; having a pair prevents accidental resets as you must deliberately push both, but saves a huge amount od time when you're tweaking, as you needn't open the case...

(bottom panel, outside edges - I also sand off the button to make it harder to press)

Hello, By any chance, have you been able to solve your problem ? I have exactly the same issue with the same motherboard and a 1TB Samsung ecogreen HD. Thanks a lot.
