I have a HP EliteBook 8530W. And always when I start some sort of game I get Blue Screen Of Death, and I get it if I change my resolution... I am using a NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M. The problem wasn't before I updated drivers...
View 1 RepliesI have an HP EliteBook 8440p. I installed Windows 7 Professional in it. I got it second hand and i dont have much past history about it. But since the installation it is hanging, stucking and giving BSOD randomly.. sometime opening Chrome, sometime listening to song, sometime playing Windows games. Sometime while moving it or just changing it a little like while I am sitting on couch and moves forward a little.. I opened it and tightened hard disk screws and memory...
Specs:
EliteBook 8440p
Intel i5
RAM 2 GB
Windows 7 Professional
The weirdest thing happened to my Thinkpad T510 when I was updating my new Blackberry 9900 yesterday where I left my computer on while it was updating and went to bed. I woke up and my girlfriend closed the lid and when I reopened it there was a BSOD. Idiotically I didn't take a picture of it but once I tried restarting the computer it got stuck at the Windows boot screen where the Windows logo glows. I tried restarting again and I chose to go into Startup recovery provided by the Thinkvantage software. I left it there for the whole day when it was attempting to fix disk errors but all it did was just continue the scanning mode, and when I tried to cancel I couldn't. I restarted once again and tried to go into Rescue and Recovery mode that Thinkpads have and when I got in I got an error message:
rnrdbgtool.exe - Application Error The instruction at 0x77D315CC referenced memory at 0x7C22C386. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc0000185. Click on OK to terminate the program.
2 days ago, i bought a Netbook equipped with windows starter. I needed a cheap computing solution for college since i only need Word, Maple and Google chrome to make me happy during my free times at school. It's brand new and was equipped with Mcafee internet security 60 days trial which i took cause it was already installed and ready to work, anyway. I received message from windows update which i ignored for the last day since i didn't needed to use my netbook at all. I finally did the update today. And then. Boom. While rebooting, BSOD.(Reminded me of windows 98 and ME since i hadn't seen one in the last 10 years XD ). Memory dump, and rebooting. Then the apparently now famous Windows couldn't boot appeared and they offered me to try to run windows normally or to use the restore. I tried to run it again, which failed. So i did restored but now i'm still with the same problem while updating windows. I have checked on many forums but their similar problems are from 2010. And my netbook has been manufactured not two month ago since it's a new model.
What should i do fellow Windows 7 users?
I recently bought a new AMD FX-8150 and installed it on my ASUS m5a97 mobo which has 24GB of ram. 2x4 and 2x8 of DDR3. Everything was moderately fine before I replaced my old CPU (AMD Phenom II x3) with the AMD fx-8150. After that, I couldn't play some of my games because apperently I needed to update my BIOS, which i recently did. thats when things got weird. I keep getting blue screens, mainly memory management so I ran a standard and extended windows memory diagnostic test and came up with no errors. I have not done prime or 86+ yet. I, personally, think there are some instability issues here despite the fact the cpu is on the supported list for my asus mobo. Also some other weird things have happened. My google chrome crashed in such a way that it corrupted my profile and i had to reinstall it and it would not save the favicons in my bookmarks bar. my xfire kept crashing, too. when i try uploading a file to the internet and browse to DESKTOP via a windows explorer window, chrome crashes. I've ran a full malyware scan with no threats and cleaned by registry with CCleaner, i do not know what else to do. I don't think reformatting will help since i believe this to be a hardware error.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI ran a scan that showed that I need to update 5 drivers 1 Realtek Hi Def,
4 nvidia drivers what is the easiest way to do it and should I just wait till the Windows 7 comes out in a couple days?
I need to update all my drivers. I have tried to do it the traditional way through the control panel but my drivers claim to not need updating. Is there another fix?
I would prefer not to download driver update software that requires me to pay them for updating my drivers.
I used to try to keep all of my drivers up to date with the latest release. Earlier this year my video card died. I found out that there had been a bad driver released that altered fan operation. I think that may have been the real cause of the card failure.Since then I've wondered about that. I think if you're not having any issues maybe the best policy might be "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've read security tips that urge you to update your drivers. Why is this important from a security standpoint? How can outdated drivers' vulnerabilities be exploited?
View 1 Replies View RelatedReally know nothing re Drivers, except that it is apparently a good idea, always, to use the latest.
Anyway, was thinking of possibly downloading the latest drivers for my Radeon graphics card from the ATI site.
(But my questiosn really relates to any drivers, not just those for my graphics card)
My understanding is that one is supposed to delete the present drivers from the control panel prior to downloading and installing the new ones.
BTW: I looked in "Control Panel," but it is not clear to me how one deletes, safely, the present drivers for a particular program. How is this done, please ?
So, what happens immediately after the deletion of the present drivers before any new ones are installed ?
Will my graphics card (or any other program where I have removed them) still function even without "any" drivers at this point ? How is it possible ?
If someone could explain this for me, would be appreciative.
Also, I read that one should use in addition a "driver cleaner".
Why is this (also) necessary ?
What would be your recommendation for a good free or inexpensive one that is
also safe ?
All the steps.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter updating my drivers today I am now getting the following Warning in Event Viewer: 'An error was detected on device DeviceHarddisk0DR0 during a paging operation.' I formatted my hd and did a clean install on Sunday and the warning wasn't there then or soon after. It didn't start to appear until I updated my drivers. I booted up at 5:28 and there are around10 of these warnings at boot up. If so what driver will I need to roll-back? I have an HP p6520y computer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been researching up on the Asus Crosshair III before i purchase. I have been reading reviews about how you need to download Win7 drivers and the most recent bios from the Internet which is not a problem. However i came across one concern. I am building a computer from nothing, and the drivers that come with the Asus Crosshairs are not for win7. I also read that in order to update the drivers to win7 you need vista.
I just need confirmation that this is true. Is it possible to update my motherboard's drivers/bios just by purchasing the full version of Win7? Or do i have to purchase vista and update the drivers/bios and then buy the upgrade for win7? Just a little confused as to what needs to be done.
I went on the asus website and found the drivers. Just need clarification on how i install them.
I have just installed Windows 7 Professional on to my Acer Aspire 5735 and now half of the functions of the laptop don't work, such as the card reader and volume control. How I can fix this or find updated drivers as I cannot find anything on the Acer website.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an ATI Radeon HD 4350. Currently I am using the WDDM 1.1 drivers that came with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install (store-bought). It's been working fine for normal use, but the drivers are 2 years out of date and no games want to work on my system.
I tried installing the Catalyst 11.11 driver package, rebooted and... the result was that Windows suddenly treated my video card like it didn't have ANY drivers; it defaulted to the Standard VGA drivers and didn't even want to acknowledge that the proper drivers for my card existed on my computer. When I brought up Device Manager to manually install the new drivers, it listed the new drivers as ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 along with the old ATI Radeon HD 4350 (Microsoft Corporation WDDM 1.1)- which I kinda/sorta get but don't really. What's the difference between the 4300/4500 and the 4350? Red herring; ignore that.
Anyway... I can revert back to the original 4350 drivers and the screen looks fine, but I'm not getting to use any of the games I've got installed now. I also noticed that, while looking through my System Information, the 4350 is causing some sort of hardware conflict with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge. Which completely drives me bonkers because it WORKS with the WDDM 1.1 drivers.
I recently went to update my mobile video card drivers on my ASUS G73JH laptop and after doing so, on boot up I would see this error message after saying my CCC.exe has crashed...I also couldn't access any programs that make use of the video card, every time I would open one, it would crash before opening.So I rolled back my drivers and everything is fine, but obviously, I would like to update my drivers for my video card, but not really sure what to try.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 Professional x84 earlier today. After I log on I get through the Welcome load screen to what seems to be affectionately labeled the "Black Screen of Death." Well I've browsed through these forums for a while now, and tried every solution I could find:
I'm guessing that it's a driver for "something" because My computer 'works' in Safe Mode.
My Black Screen is just that, a Black Screen. No mouse, no flicker, no start menu. It is a black screen.
I do hear some sounds, such as being logged into Skype.
I do have a custom Wallpaper (some people mentioned it here or there, but I'm not exactly sure how to change it ala safe mode)

View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently I upgrade my system from XP to 7, but then today I messed something up so I figured I would just reinstall it because I figured it would be easier. I was able to load XP back on alright, but when I went to use the upgrade discs to 7 is when I ran into problems. When I put the disc in it says loading files, and there is a progress bar at the bottom, and when that's done I get the "starting windows" text but Windows never starts.

I have multiple minidumps from using verifier that kept reporting I had a bad driver. However when I turned it off I could boot normally and I didn't have any problems until recently. Closing out of the game Fallout: New Vegas caused a BSOD that stated there was a Bad Pool Header which is odd because I have also had a BSOD a few days ago when opening a game using Steam as well.
