We need the complete *verbatim* text of the actual error message,
including any text comments, parameter codes, and/or file or module
names.

Basically it's similar to this one:

http://www.juliuzz.com/shot.jpg

except mine is in italian. There is no file/module name, only the four
parameters beetween parentheses, which is the only thing that probably
changes from the screenshot (unfortunately I'm not near the computer
right now).
To reproduce the BSOD I have to press F8 and select the "disable reboot
on error" option, otherwise the system simply reboots.

An interesting fact is that the HD led stays completely off for a few
seconds while windows boots (tries to), then before the BSOD it
switches on and stays "fixed", even after reboot. I have to "manually"
switch the computer off and on, otherwise the system wouldn't even pass
the BIOS start phase.


The "reboot on error" setting is, in my opinion, worse than useless on
a home or small business computer although it might repeat might have
some value in a large corporate or network environment where there is
a full time professional computer support staff.

I therefore suggest that you shut it off permanently. Use Control
Panel - System - Advanced and click on the Settings button in the
Startup and Recovery (bottom) section. In the Startup and Recovery
window click on the checkbox for "automatically restart to clear it
then click on Apply and OK as needed to exit.

The following general comments regarding STOP 0x0000007B:
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE are from MVP Jim Eshelman's web page for STOP
errors at http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
"Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the
startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers
when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus."
