I'm getting a BSOD 9C

What lead up to this is:

I have a Lenovo T510 laptop with dual boot Win7 sp1 32bit & XP Pro sp3 32bit running fine.
I would like to run the same partitions on a new Lenovo W540.

I updated the BIOS in the Lenovo W540 to ver. 2.17
I have used MiniTool Partition Wizard to:
1. Remove all partitions on the SSD
2. Convert the SSD from MBR to GPT.
3. Copy all partitions from the old drive to the SSD.
4. Set the W540 laptop BIOS to Defaults
5. Disabled Secure Boot.
6. Changed UEFI/Legacy Boot to Both
7. Changed UEFI/Legacy Boot Priority to UEFI First.
8. Changed CSM Support to Yes.
I inserted the new SSD into a Lenovo W540 laptop.
The Win7 partition is active.

Ran Chkdsk C: /r /f

Found no errors

I have booted into a Win7 sp1 DVD.
It found the installed Win7. It tried to do a repair.
I ran Win7 Repair three times, It found no errors.

I have EasyBCD ver. 2.2.0.182 installed on the Win7 partition.
I can't boot into Win7 or XP
If I choose Start windows normally or last known good configuration or Safe mode
it gives me the BSOD 9C when booting to Win7
it gives me the BSOD A5 when booting to XP

Please help me get this running.

Hi -

Bugcheck 0x9c = Machine Check Exception -- usually always hardware failure

Bugcheck 0xa5 = Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS of the computer is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification

You can't move drives across systems.

You will need to wipe the SSD, install XP, then install Windows 7.

Wipe the SSD first - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/hardware-tutorials/449-format-hdd-low-level-format-killdisk.html

Furthermore, both copies of Windows must be full retail or new OEM. You cannot re-use an OEM version of Windows that has been installed on another system.

Regards. . .
