Windows 7: nvlddmkm.sys BSOD after fresh reinstall of Windows7

Bengeck · 12 Jan 2013

Evening

I was getting the BSOD so I reinstalled Windows7 on to my SSD.
I downloaded all the motherboard drivers and video card drivers from the web before I reinstalled.
But I kept getting the BSOD. I did a bit of research and downloaded the Windows debugging tool and found out it was nvlddmkm.sy_ causing all the problems. uninstalled the nvidia drivers, ran driver sweeper and rebooted. then looked in C drive for nvlddmkm i found 2 from 2009 that I can't rename or delete. I tried to change permissions, it let me but now i need permission from myself to change it, clicking try again does nothing. I haven't gone in to safe mode to try and rename them yet. Might be my next stop.

anyway Please see attached files as requested.

Cheers

I'm not sure if it will work for those old files, but run Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode. It's supposed to be run in Safe Mode anyway (that is, after uninstalling the Display Driver in normal mode).

Both are driver verifier enabled crashes blaming the video card driver. First thing to do is disable driver verifier

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Next I want you to download the latest drivers for your card
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...glish-whql.exe

Then, I want you to go into device manager and uninstall your video card drivers. If there is a box that you can check to remove driver software then check it. After the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer and install the drivers you just downloaded
