    System crash after every attempt to update Windows 7 64 bit on Lenovo


    Is there any solution to constant system failure to a level where the blue screen turns up and laptop can't be even turned on, after every system update?

    I've checked the drivers and everything, but since the big update pack somewhere in March every update ends up in system failure. And the restore points before the updates are useless, because system doesn't recognize them.

    After the second time this has happened and I've lost all the files that has not been backed up on hard drive I really start to think is there something wrong to Lenovo and Windows 7 combination?

    I almost start to regret that I have legal version with update option.

    * It would be very helpful if we had your System Specs to know what we are dealing with...
    System Info - See Your System Specs

    * Have you received any error messages?

    * Have you a Win 7 disk?

    * IF you are having Blue Screens of Death


    We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
    Please attach the DMP files to your next post not to post one.

    If you are overclocking STOP

    You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

    To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

    The procedure:
    * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
    * Zip up the copy.
    * Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
    *If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
    To ensure minidumps are enabled:
    * Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
    * Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
    * Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
    * Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
    * Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
    * OK your way out.
    * Reboot if changes have been made.

    You'll find guys who differ with this and to that all I can say is "to each their own". When I get my Windows 7 64 running good (which it does now), I TURN OFF automatic updates because I like having a good running machine without all the nuisance failures. So for whatever that's worth, get it running where you want it and shut off the ENDLESS madness of MS updates.
