Windows 7 BSOD Win 7 Prem 64 bit; minidump file attached

SOLVED: BSOD Win 7 Prem 64 bit; minidump file attached

[I would have marked this thread as 'SOLVED' . . . but I can't figure out how to do it.]




Hi. Attached please find my minidump file - Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit SP1, original install, Lenovo desktop with 8GB of RAM with AMD II X2 255 Processor 3.10GHz; PC is about a year old. I upgraded the original RAM myself - but that never was a problem. The only thing I have done recently is installed a PCI firewire 1394 card - but I did that a month ago or more and I've had a few BSODs on and off - but now I cannot boot to Windows.

Also, this is a dual-boot machine also running Linux Mint 11 - which runs without a problem, no hiccups or anything. That has been on this machine at least six months - so I don't think that's the problem.

As I said, I'm attaching in a zip file my minidump file. Hope you can help.

[later]I attached everything asked for except the RAMMon information; it says error unable to loadIO driver. So, while
I wait for someone to read this I am going to run a check on the memory.

[2nd edit]The memory scan/test was fine; no problems. I decided to remove the PCI/Firewire card I installed a month or so ago; although I didn't think that would be the problem, the comp booted to Windows 7 on restart. I wanted to see if it would post/boot etc. before I remove the software/device in device manager in safe mode. It does.

If something happens after I remove the device/driver in safe mode I will post back. But I doubt it will cause a problem.

Since I didn't hear back from anyone I hope users will find useful the information I have posted.


Thank you and happy trails.

It's great to hear that you were able to identify and resolve the issue with your BSOD on Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. Since you've successfully booted into Windows 7 after removing the PCI/Firewire card that you installed a month ago, it seems like that hardware addition might have been the culprit.
If you encounter any further issues after removing the device/driver in safe mode, feel free to post back here for additional assistance. It's fantastic that your Linux Mint installation has been running smoothly without any hiccups, indicating that the issue was likely specific to the Windows environment.
