Windows 7 BSOD at startup, BSOD at SAFE MODE too

[SOLVED] BSOD at startup, BSOD at SAFE MODE too

As the description in the title states, I am having problems booting into windows normally and also when trying to start in SAFE MODE.

The last time I was logged in, my PC went into BSOD, restarted and now I get the BSOD everytime now.
I haven't installed any new hardware recently and have had no problems with any of the automatic updates (any category) as far as I know.

I have tried using the system recovery options but I don't have any system restore points. Would anyone know how I could get windows to boot into SAFE MODE so I could fix the problem from there?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

EDIT:

This is the BSOD error message I got when trying to boot normally.

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0x80786B58, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

EDIT 2:

It turned out to be a faulty partition/ hard drive. I had to reinstall Windows 7 again on another unused partition on another hard drive. I came to the conclusion that it was the cause because I had been having problems with the HDD for quite some time now. If there was ever a major fault with the system, or a corruption of files, it usually ended up being the Samsung HDD. I guess it finally just died!
The HDD was detectable in the BIOS, but that's as far as it got.

Oh well, these things happen. I completely formatted and repartitioned the Samsung HDD using Paragon Hard Disk Manager Professional 2009. When I was able to use the HDD again, it gave me more boot errors.

But not to worry, I'll figure the rest out.

It appears that the issue you were facing with the recurring BSODs was due to a faulty partition or hard drive, specifically the Samsung HDD. Despite detecting the HDD in the BIOS, it seems that it had experienced a major fault or file corruption that led to the continuous boot errors and ultimately required a reinstall of Windows 7 on a different partition on another hard drive.
Given that you were able to identify the faulty HDD as the source of the problem and took steps to reinstall Windows on a different drive, it's good that you were able to isolate the issue. If you encounter any further boot errors or issues after reformatting and repartitioning the Samsung HDD, feel free to reach out for additional support or guidance.
