    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    I do have one final question, about Driver Sweeper: when I open the program, it still displays both NVIDIA and AMD display drivers, even though I have 'cleaned' the NVIDIA driver. Does it show anything that has been there, or does this mean something went wrong?

    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    I am positive my power supply is good for the card - and the card that I had when this problem began was a GeForce 8600 GT, which is fairly old and doesn't even have a power connection. I may try to find a cheap ATI card and test it, but I suspect I will end up swapping out the motherboard...

    If it is the slot, how could I prove it? and what could I do about it?

    I have also run memtest86+ with no errors. I also have received no additional blue screens. This seems to imply that it is video card related - but is it the card its self (unlikely, as it happens with both cards), the drivers, or the pci-e slot? I figure the best way to test this is to put a...

    I have run a full scan with windows defender offline while I was at work, and it finished with no errors. Tonight I will run memtest86+ on all three sticks of RAM - if it finds an error, I will begin testing them one by one tomorrow.

    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    After switching over to the integrated graphics, I did have a blue screen - but I think driver verifier was still running. The ATI driver was fingered by the blue screen. There are two blue screen attached. I will attempt to clense my Nvidia drivers and reinstall them. I have to say, I really...

    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    I had a bunch more BSODs - and a pretty large amount of trouble turning the computer back on (I even had a blue screen in Safe Mode!). Only two dump files were created though, and one of them is 0 kb. They have both been uploaded - but to do so, I had to turn the verifier off during one of the...

    Got a new blue screen. I still have Driver Verifier running - can I turn it off or ought I to leave it on?

    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    Well, my computer locked up (screen froze, speakers buzzed) - but it didn't blue screen and no dump file was created. I was forced to turn it off and reboot (which it initially did not do - or at least, did not output video while it was doing so). After a couple of minutes I was able to get the...

    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    It seems like the worst that can happen is that my computer will be completely broken instead of only mostly broken... so I will I will give it a shot.

    Windows 7 Exciting Blue Screen & other problems (?)

    This is confusing - I have in fact followed your instructions. Is it possible that for some reason I was unable to change drivers, or a new dump file was not created? I only have two files in the minidump Thanks for satisfying my curiosity! This had occurred to me as well - but my power...

    Thank you, Trouble. I have followed your instructions, and the computer does seem more stable - a lot more stable. However, it still blue screens - this time, when attempting to load Civ5. I have attached the dump. Out of curiosity, why uninstall Daemon Tools? Do you have a recommendation for...
