I recently reformatted my PC, and before i can get to the windows logon screen, i get this - 0x0000007b stop error. Any ideas on how to fix?

sound like something serious :P
Try reformatting again. If the problem still persists then try using another new Windows CD (borrow it from a friend) and after formatting _do not_ restore your backup files. Instead scan them, and onlky restore files you know are safe.
I researched your problem and look at the first result in google :P.

mmm I like the sound of boot sector virus. My Third Guess
Driver issue was my first guess though.. but oh look, its also a probable cause too.
Second guess was hardware failure... which also seems to be a cause for this.. looks like you have some troubleshooting work ahead of you.

It is something serious, and i did load the Nvidia RAID drivers when i started installing. Funny thing is, i couldent load them when i pressed F6, I could only load them when it was installing itself. I saw - (NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER) and nvraid.sys installing itself, so im pretty sure its working

Should i format in NTFS Quick or NTFS regular

More than likely though, the MBR is corrupted and you will have to reload it. If you dont know how to do this, do a NTFS quick and reinstall the OS

Its a RAID controller issue, most likely with SATA. Pressing F6 at the beginning of the Windows Setup and using a floppy to load up the RAID driver.

I finally caved in, taking it to best buy, hopefully they'll fix it for me. I tried installing all types of drivers on a floppy from a usb floppy drive, none were recognized. Oh well, thanks for the help

Your motherboard provider should have a proper Boot Disc with all the files on it.

The Disc must have a txtsetup.oem file on it or setup won't know how to find any of the files on the disc.

But you decided to take the easy way out...oh well.
