I did both the sfc scan as well as the restorehealth cleanup, but no errors were found. Before I got the BSOD, I did download/install a new windows update and upgraded my integrated graphics card's driver. I could just do a system restore, but no restore points were created before that...

Hello, I recently replaced my old 5 year old laptop with a new one about a month ago. Just this morning, I booted up my computer and experienced my first BSOD. I looked at the logs, and it showed that the BSOD was caused by the ntoskrnl.exe. I've looked online, and the ntoskrnl.exe error is...

I'll run the scans asap, thanks. I have the win7 installation ISO on my USB, so should I run that on boot? I appreciate the continued assistance.

Ok, before I do a full re-installation of windows, I just want to point out one problem that I failed to mention in the beginning when I ran the startup repair. Does a startup repair error code 0x490 mean anything? I looked it up and found out that a Microsoft Windows 7 Error Code 0x490...

Well, the upgrade installation didn't work. I'm going to attempt to do a memory and hard drive test, or just simply do a clean installation of windows itself.

I'll be sure to take a screenshot of my task manager later so I can be sure which programs are considered irrelevant. After upgrade installing windows, I can't seem to install any version of Microsoft .NET Framework for some reason, and as a result, I can't open certain programs such as Display...

I reinstalled windows but without getting rid of my current existing files. If that doesn't work, I just might do a full re-installation of windows after I backup my files. Regarding the task manager, what kind of startup programs should I be looking out for?

Ok, I think I'll be able to recover my windows CD after all. I just need to let the windows repair run and see what results I get. P.S. - Is there a safe ISO program that I can use?

Well, I've done a few sfc scans before and have encountered no issues, but I will periodically initiate them whenever I have the time. I tried to run a chkdsk via your method but on restart, it failed to start due to a hardware/software change, so as a result, I had to type in chkdsk /r via...

I'll attempt to run a memtest via flash usb drive later tonight.

I believe the memory test lasted a few hours. Are you referring to the built-in test or the one which requires an ISO mount or what not? I've already went through most of the app list and uninstalled many more programs that I'm currently not using at the moment. I'll try running the driver...

Uninstalled MagicISO, but it's still a no-go unfortunately. Should I continue running the driver verifier? I also ran the memory test, and no issues were found.

Well, regarding the old applications, I've been looking through my very long list of programs and deleting the ones that I don't use anymore or are too old for it to be of any use to me. Should I continue doing this? I cannot run the repair via the windows 7 disk because it seems that I have...

Reinstalled the drivers, but windows still refuses to boot up and just restarts at the windows logo screen. Also, according to the events log, it gave me an error in one of the application logs: Event filter with query "SELECT *FROM_InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA...

I haven't reinstalled the drivers yet since this is the only way to boot up the computer without having to use safe mode. I guess I'll try after installing the drivers again. I'm not experienced at looking at the event viewer, but I'll give it a shot and then get back to you. What kind of...
