Any ideas how to resolve these errors, when I search the codes most seem to be unresolved.

My laptop had been unstable for awhile now getting BOSD's about once a week. I got a new harddrive (for some reason thinking it might be the problem since the last time I had issues it was the SSD), but now I can't even install Win7 SP1 or upgrade to Win 10.

BSOD:
Code:
0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80002FAA56F, 0xFFFFF88003369A08, 0xFFFFF88003369270)

Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Code:
Code: 800736CC

Upgrading to Windows 10: Media Creation Tool
Code:
Error Code: 0x80070570 - 0x80003

Upgrading to Windows 10 using USB:
Code:
0xC1900101 -0x2000C

Help greatly appreciated!

Update: Just tried a fresh install of Windows 10 and recieved this message:
https://ibb.co/iXKatT

Code:
The instruction at 0x00007FF8EE038DD5 referenced memory at 0X000000E9E2DB9D90. The memory could not be written.

When I google searched fixes it all seemed to be related by conflicting software that had been installed, but since his is a fresh install that shouldn't be the case.

OK, have you run memtest??

Try and dial back RAM speed, and see if that works, failing that, what brand of HDD ??

Unplug the HDD and make sure the slot is clean, then reinsert and try running a diagnostic program that checks it for surface errors.

I use Aomei partition Assistant, it is a free and very useful suite of SSD/HDD/Flash memory utilities.

Your Win7 install might be corrupted, perhaps the original install disk is scratched, or there have been a corrupted update file blocking further updates (had this).
I had to manually download and install certain updates, as they kept failing under the WinUpdate service.

The biggest issue is why anyone in their right mind would ditched Win7 for Win10!!

So do I have bad ram?

As for Win10 isn't Win7 Unsupported now?
 
"As for Win10 isn't Win7 Unsupported now?"

That's no reason why we must all stop using it, even though Microsoft would like us to believe otherwise (but then they would say that wouldn't they?) :/

I'm holding off upgrading to Windows 10 for as long as it's possible to do, Windows 7 is super stable and does everything I want.

Legally, they still have to support the OS for a few more years; however they have strong-armed Intel and AMD to dropping support for the OS on new cpu families; there are a few ways around this, and there is supposed to be a legal challenge about ti ongoing in the US.

As above, if you avoid the sabotage* attempts by M$ (random "updates" that mess up your system), Win7 is vastly more stable than Win10.


As for the Win10 issues you are having, there is a chance some of your hardware isnt supported correctly, there are whole brands that dont work, even when the Win10 system configuration checker says they do.

Both Lenovo and Samsung systems have been bricked by the infamous forced Win10 auto installs, even after M$ KNEW they werent compatible.
*They did exactly the same thing with XP; issued "updates" that screwed the OS up, to make switching to Vista more attractive, and when that didnt work, they crippled the WinUpdate system, so it wouldnt work properly. They have tried the same with Win7; at one point with both XP and Win7, you had to connect to the WinUpdate server continuously for several DAYS before it would even start to download anything.

The thing is I've had Win10 on this machine since Win10 came out. It crashed when the SSD died other than that it worked fine. Also the BSOD screenshot I provided was actually when it was running Win7.

So I don't think this is an issue with Win10, since Win7 also crashes.

So I guess it's my RAM: https://ibb.co/hXHofJ
Am I supposed to pull out every stick and test it one by one now, and either it's the RAM or the actual slot on the motherboard? if it's on the motherboard is there anything I can do to recover it or is it over lol
