just hangs, logo still pulses so I know it's not a lockup, but no hdd access, nothing. EFI installs of ubuntu linux and GRUB2, and a chainloaded copy of win7 64x. I can leave it on all night, still no dice (just to make sure that it wasn't just executing code and all files were loaded)
Safe Mode: doesn't give the option
Startup repair: no dice, and won't run SFC /scannow
virtualbox: nope, tried
boot-repair: nope, even with the "repair windows bootloader"
non-chanload: still hangs
drive in different machine: still hangs
system specs: link in my sig, sorry for making you use copy-paste, but I used my two links with FM's hotsauce filled desk in the quote
can someone tell me how to do sfc /scannow without a repair disk or safe mode? startup repair is fine, but the auto-repair "schedules" a "repair" that prevents me from using sfc /scannow (I might be able to convince it to run SFC on next boot)

windoge 8 has the saddest excuse for a BSOD, it just tells you the type of error, no stop code, no nothing, just "something went wrong, all your unsaved work has now been lost to the void that is volatile memory"
What do you mean by "Safe Mode: doesn't give the option"? Just press F8 while on the splash screen.
oh, forgot about that, all it offered me was the failure of a "startup repair" and normal boot, sorry

So you can't even enter BIOS? It just takes you to that screen instantly?
well, BIOS works, but winderps just takes me immediately to the "startup repair" or "normal boot" screen, no options for f8
EDIT: safemode hangs on classpnp.sys (tried the rename thing, BSOD with unable to mount boot volume or something like that) I just have to reset from the 2 choice screen that overrides f8

You have a fairly bad or easy fix problem here. By easy fix, best hope so, otherwise it is a waking nightmare.
Classpnp.sys is a critical system file, it is a hardware level file basically.
For start you should reset the systems BIOS config to Default settings. Best way to do this is to reset CMOS by jumper or removing the battery (careful with battery holder, they are fragile to bending and the battery wont stay anymore).
Again, reset the CMOS/BIOS to default. If this does not fix the problem, then may have a different issue along lines of storage media device or controller compatability.

was working just fine before I turned off the OC optimizer settings in the asrock BIOS, will try turning them back to 3.8 (3.7 turbo stock, trying to go to 3.8 for experimenting)EDIT: and the only reason I realized this problem existed was someone calling me on skype and locking my entire system up due to improper sound server implementation(I use ubuntu linux, and you just know how much MS -loves- linux non-windows OSs, don't you?)
EDIT: nope, no workey

Change the Sata Controller Mode from IDE to ACHI, if it is on ACHI then set to IDE. This is where the problem lies is bios > storage media devices > OS most of the time. But must take entire troubleshooting book for this one.
An I have no idea on that other part. Linux is NOT A replacement to Windows. Each was designed for it's own purposes.
Clearly if something is wrong with the computer, it's the fault of greedy, dirty M$.
well, they have quite a few crap operating systems, with only 2 or three good ones
AHCI to IDE in the BIOS causes 0x0000007b or unmountable/unreadable boot volume (I can't remember exactly which)
it was set to AHCI when I installed it, and every time I ran it
(I run an EFI install with windows 7 and ubuntu and occasionally mint, so that could be the AHCI problem)
as for "linux is not a replacement for windows" crap, Linux has equivilents for almost every windows app (libreoffice, banshee media player, etc)and I only use winderps for games that require it (cube world, MechWarrior Online, etc)

Yeah. This, this is why I cannot say anything more. You have lots of fun with this, good luck. Nothing more to be said in this thread, there is nothing else to do. Your HDD and system in general has a huge rat nest on the HDD. It is not surprising it wont run for EFI with a windows 7 install, yeah....

I ROFL'd at this, heartily. Such foolishness and a hilarious amount of ignorance and fanboyism.

it is not if you don't mind terminal and glitches with sound every once in a while, but I've gotten so used to linux that I only use winderps when a linux version is not availble.
and as for linux being terrible:
can you securely wipe a device with no evidence that data was ever on said device with windows?
can you install stuff from terminal with just one command on windows?
does windows just shrug off most errors and just restart the process that errored?
and the 0x0000007b was a windows BSOD that it gave me when I switched to IDE mode

Yes, it is called Diskpart. Open CMD, type in Diskpart, type list disk then type select disk # you want to wipe, type in clean all then hit return key. Wait awhile, depending on disk size, as every bit on the disk is changed to zero. This changes it back to an uninitialized zero state disk, almost as if brand new out of factory state. This is as close to a low level format as you can get on consumer machines.
Yes if needed, but less complex and no terminal funky stuff needed which half time works or multitude of commands which are normally shoved in a bash script given amount of terminal commands needed.
Yes, windows can if it needs; so long it is not a critical system service or process, otherwise you get a warning and countdown timer of a minute or two to save your work and windows auto restarts itself.
0x7b indicates communication error between controller mode and SATA storage media device. In total you can actually change windows storage controller type to match BIOS set type by one simple registry key in windows. But there is little reason to not use ACHI now a days. Very little reasons outside of Legacy compatibility.
