[CONQUERED] BSOD error 0x7b - nothing has worked......

Looked for the last two days.
First off:
It's a Gigabyte mobo: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2304#utility
I've been using it for years with various SATA drives. I recently replaced it with a new rig, and I was going to experiment with OC'ing this one. I put in an older IDE drive with 7 on it, which booted.
I then tried to add ram, and I got an error screen. I didn't notice the type, but then (re-)found out the mobo maxes at 2gb. Back to the old ram, and the IDE drive booted.
As this machine is faster than my old gaming rig, I replaced that with this - drive and video card went in, that's the only difference - and I got the 0x7b error.
Second:
The drive is a SATA 80gb. A cloned 250gb SATA has the same problem.
- there ain't no bios setting for AHCI/IDE; shit's all automatic
- there ain't no hard drive controller driver from Gigabyte
- won't boot into safe mode, neither
Third: looked in diskpart and found the data partition was listed twice - as 0 and 2. Partition 1 was system. Deleted 0 partition, but still won't boot.

If that keeps you away from mass spamming threads every 4 days with irrelevant info or bad humor, I hope you don't get any help.

Don't do that. Do a fresh installation. You're lucky that it boots at all.
The only OS that I know of which is pretty much guaranteed to work when using a drive from a different machine is OS X. With OS X all you have to do is delete the cache that contains the drivers that load on startup (before switching drives) then you can start up with any drive with OS X on any Mac - as long as the hardware "generation gap" is not too big.
Windows uh, how can I put it, it "wraps itself too tightly around the hardware" for that to work reliably. Even if it boots you're going to run into trouble sooner or later.

Wehhl. That's what a lot of people have done apparently. Thing is, it's TinyXP, so it shouldn't be doing that. Right?

You can do the same thing with Windows. It's just not that straight forward. It takes a good bit of googling to find a decent tutorial, but there are programs that take care of it for you. Acronis True Image has a function to "restore to different hardware", for example.

At least from disc (didn't try flash drive), but there's apparently something missing or that this other machine doesn't like in the image of the old drive. I thought maybe installing fresh would format the drive with that missing partition thingie....but who knows....I can't clone. And whatever 'move disc to new hardware thing' there is ain't in the version I have.

Time to retire that one bro.
Look for some budget (If money is an issue) LGA 1150 and get the best Intel CPU you can afford.
Pimp it out with a good SSD and fire RAM

Beat it DEAD. Hehn. So today it came to me: INFs....holy shit. Except that was a chore of command line stuff. But I found a page where an IT dude had exactly this issue on the line: he said delete video and audio drivers (I had thought of this along with INF), and IDE stuff, through the CP. Can't do the latter through CP....and then I remembered another earlier page where the person said you just have to uninstall the 82801 dealies from Hardware Manager, but that wasn't good enough....so I went back and deleted the IDE stuff via there.
It booted into Windows. YEAY. But.....no peripherals. At all. Ummm...... Now I'm not sure what happened, between plugging and unplugging ps/2 and usb perfs, and moving around the usb keymouse deal....but finally the usb mouse worked. So then I went and installed the mobo drivers and all, and I'm all good.
