Can't boot past Windows logo
First of all, sorry if this was posted before or if this is the wrong section.
Earlier today I was playing Starcraft and my computer froze. I waited a bit and rebooted it by pressing the ON/OFF button on my case.
After that happened I am not able to get past the W7 logo. It gives me a BSOD with the following codes:
0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFF00000065, 0xFFFFF880014EC335, 0xFFFFF880009A8F68, 0xFFFFF880009A87D0)
cng.sys
Computer specs:
Intel i7 920 @ 3.8 ghz
ASUS P6T Deluxe v2.0
12 GB DDR Kingston HyperX @ 1887~
1 x OCZ Vertex 2 SSD
1 x 640 GB HDD
1 x 1500 GB HDD
2 x 1 TB HDD
EDIT: Windows 7 64 bit OS
I tried putting my W7 DVD and repair, it said the OS and the iso on the dvd are different versions.
It won't let me repair via F8.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Re: Can't boot past Windows logo
You can try Windows 7 System Recovery Discs. Can you boot in safe mode?

Start windows normally gives me the same BSOD as when I boot normally, repair windows option gives me an error code.
I'll download the recovery disk, burn it and see what. Thank you.

Re: Can't boot past Windows logo
I submitted a reply but it didn't go through, apparently.
EDIT: Ah right.
I downloaded and burned the recovery disc, going to try now.
I can't boot into safe mode. Only options I get when pressing F8 is a list of bootable devices such as my HDD, DVD or whatever. When I select my SSD I get 2 options: Repair - which leads to an error; and boot normally which leads to a BSOD.

Re: Can't boot past Windows logo
Update: Tried repairing via the recovery disc, still BSOD, same code.
Trying to repair via "normal" repair - aka no disc - gives The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.

I see, looks like an ssd issue...hope not. This is probably why it says the OS and the iso on the dvd are different versions.

Choose command prompt from the recovery options and type chkdsk /r.
Have you made any changes to your bios setup that might have caused the freezes, like switching the hard drive controller modes ?

I downloaded the 64 bit recovery disc image that you linked. When I boot from it, after selecting the partition with the OS installed on it just directly attempts to repair it without any sort of options at all, so I can't choose command prompt. It *would* let me choose command prompt when I tried it from my W7 DVD - from which I installed my current OS - but it would only let me proceed when I didn't select any partition. I tried to run the repair from the freshly burnt DVD 3 times just incase, still no luck. I get an "advanced" error code or something alike after the automatic repair is complete, it's pretty long, though.
I haven't done any changes to the BIOS but I'll try resetting all values and see what it changes. I'll also try unplugging all hard drives but the SSD and seeing if that helps.

Re: Can't boot past Windows logo
I resetted all BIOS values, set SSD to #1 on boot device priority, tried booting - still the same error.
Opened case, made sure all SATA cables are properly connected, unplugged all drives but SSD and DVD drive. Still the same error.

Re: Can't boot past Windows logo
I might try making a clean install on another hard drive/partition and copying missing files onto my main install, would that work?
