Had to force shut down, BSOD after. Created dump file restarts okay.
HP DV7 6143cl
Windows® 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
I had something hang up and prevented shutdown so I forced shutdown and of course a blue screen occurred afterwards.
A couple of days before the 'hang up - forced shutdown - blue screen' I noticed high CPU usage and the fan running at high speed. It was not until I put the computer in sleep mode and exited that I saw the message window saying (the bits I remember)
Debug Assertion Failed!
Svchost plugandplay
Abort Retry Ignore
I clicked Abort and the CPU went back to normal.
The next day I installed the software for a WD Passport 2 TB external hard drive. It was installing and trying to update multiple components at the same time but ultimately installed and completed the first back up.
Later that day Windows update came on and tried to update the WD SES driver but failed because the device was not connected. (per the update error message).
Finally the hang up - forced shutdown – blue screen occurred. I was just shutting down as I normally would. I have automatically restart turned off so I restarted normally and looked at the dump file with Who Crashed hoping something obvious would be shown.
I downloaded the SF Diagnostic Tool and zipped the results with 7 Zip
The computer has started and shut down normally several times.
