Vista BSOD 0x7b, no recovery disks,

Have an HP Pavillion running Vista home premiumwhich when it tries to boot it blue screens.  I try to run repair with another Vista Operating disk and it says it cannot repair.  It won't go into the system recovery using the F11 key.  Don't know what else to try. Was hoping Vista had a fixboot option but I do not see it anywhere.

Seems like this could be a failed hard drive.

A problem has been detected and windows has shut down ....

stop 0x0000007B ( 0x80399BB0, OXC0000034, 0X000000, 0X000000)
Hi there;

Go into the BIOs and change the setting on the SATA to compatability mode...

Best regards...
Hi there;

Have the BIOS in compatibility mode for the SATA..Boot into Vista and this allows the system to install the ATA drivers for the chipset.  Then reboot, enter into the bios and switched it back to AHCI.  When Vista reboot this time, it detected the AHCI and installed the proper drivers.  Rebooting again helped to finalize the changes.  The system does have the the intel turbo memory included..Please inform me if you have intel turbo mem...

Best regards...

There is no option in the Bios to change the compatibility mode.  I have the HP pavillion dv6500 Notebook with Bios version F.2a.  With AMD Turion 64 X2 processor.

Are you sure? Please write down menu and submenus in BIOS...
