Been getting ready to test a used GTX 1060 3GB gpu recently purchased and of the old PC's I have around the only one with enough room is a Lenovo H430 core i3. There was no HDD on that one so I took it out of another generic PC which was running Windows 7 just fine.
I wanted to reinstall a more power hungry GTX 560 in this setup first before going ahead with the 1060 just to make sure it would boot, and at least hopefully no issues due to old PSU. Mainly just to make sure the 1060 is functional.
The issue that occurred is that where I go to boot in the transplant machine it starts to load, and freezes when the windows start merging together on the start up and then goes BSOD with initial error of 0x0000007B. There are many more numbers after this, but hopefully this set will be enough to get me in the right direction. I ran system repair at least twice, and the second time through it said system repair could not fix the problem, and PC will shut down which it did. I removed CMOS battery just for kicks I guess, (didn't help), and was going to get out my Windows 7 CD and try to do a repair that way, but wondered what would happen if I reinstalled into original PC. Sure enough it worked fine.
I am guessing that perhaps some drivers on the H430 are missing, or some other compatibility issue. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
