Windows 7 BSOD on boot

[Joemah]

I am running an AMD 64 x2 4400+ with 6 gigs of ram and an nvidia 8800gts on windows 7 build 7000 x64. It boots normally but right after the pretty glowing window screen it imediately blue screens with a nvlddmkm.sys error. Any suggestions to get windows to boot properly?

The error you are encountering with "nvlddmkm.sys" usually points to a problem with the Nvidia graphics driver. Here are a few steps you can try to address this issue: 1. Boot into Safe Mode: - Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode. This will load Windows with only the necessary drivers and services. - If you can boot into Safe Mode successfully, proceed with the following steps. 2. Uninstall and Reinstall Graphics Drivers: - In Safe Mode, uninstall the Nvidia graphics drivers completely. - Restart your computer normally and download the latest compatible Nvidia drivers for your GPU from the Nvidia website. - Install the new drivers and restart your system. 3. Update Windows: - Ensure that your Windows 7 installation is up to date with the latest updates. - Go to Windows Update and check for any pending updates that might include important driver fixes. 4. Check for System Errors: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator. - Run the command sfc /scannow to check for system file integrity issues. - Additionally, you can run a disk check using chkdsk /f to scan for disk errors. 5. Verify System Stability: - Test the system after reinstalling the graphics driver to ensure stability during normal usage and graphics-intensive tasks. If you continue to experience the same issue after trying these steps, it might be worth checking for any specific compatibility issues related to your hardware configuration with Windows 7 Build 7000.
