Windows 7: My first ever Win7 BSOD

EarlZ .. after consultation with my esteemed colleague, Ken (ZigZag) it seems that your problem lies with the NTSF.sys file. Unfortunately, the best approach to fix this is going to be a re-install of the OS... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news ... some day you eat the bear, the other day the bear eats you....

sorry in search type cmd> in cmd type sfc/scannow

No dumpfile found with todays date, those crash dumps came from testing some ram sets

Thats not them. Dump files are in the format dd/mm/year.dmp

I had the same BSOD yesterday with an error code of X'3b'. Had dumps turned off though. I was playing around with Aero stuff and Ease of Access stuff. Shortly thereafter BSOD.

Wonder if it was a nvidia driver?

Found few files corrupt & it repaired on its own. Hope it remains like this.

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.




I used search and typed in *.dmp those are the ONLY results i got. Anything else?

Maybe i turned off the dump function, can anyone tell me where to enable it again so that the next time i get that error ill get sure to get the minidump

You truely got a Blue screen with stop and some other things on it?

ken

Yes, the standard bluescreen with that specific message. First time I've ever heard of it and it made my wonder why a service made it BSOD ( if it was a service ) the next time I see it ill take a photo.
