    not sure why the SF Diagnostic did not record but it was there for sure. "IRQL_NOT_LESS" BSOD error.

    Anyway the HD2 and adapter are disconnected so lets run a bit and see if that was the only problem.

    More applications crashing since uninstalling that control card. Excel, Chrome, games. Attaching new SF output.

    Same as earlier.



    I think you should opt for a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 now. That will at least minimize the possibility of any driver caused BSOD.

    Arc, if you are seeing no crashes maybe somehow I am not running SF Diag right? Not BSOD but APPCRASH.

    It may be expected that the clean reinstall will make you free from all those.

    Before going through that, I ran sfc and received a message that corrupt file found but unable to repair. Can you interpret the attached log and advise? The reason I ask is because once someone helped to identify the exact bad file instead of reinstall. Thanks.

    The log says something else.
    2013-07-25 10:57:23, Info CSI 00000337 [SR] Verify and Repair Transaction completed. All files and registry keys listed in this transaction have been successfully repaired
    Excel, Chrome, games .... all are third party applications. SFC /scannow is system file checker. It does not take those stuff into consideration.

       Information
    The sfc /scannow command (System File Checker) scans the integrity of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible.
    Source: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    So it has nothing to do with third party applications. Now you may go for a clean reinstall I guess.

    Can you recommend a safe/reliable driver diagnostic I can try to isolate/repair any individual ones which are bad? May be avoid reinstall?


    Thanks again for helping me out. I guess if I am forced to reinstall this issue is closed.

    Actually there is no driver diagnostic tool that is reliable in true sense. None of them does a real good job.

    I am not pushing you to a reinstall; but it is worthy of the time. It will take less time and effort than the possible troubleshooting, particularly in such a clueless situation.

    But if you want to try to troubleshoot, I would suggest you to follow Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 ... which eventually ends on a clean reinstall though.

    Hi Arc:

    I performed a "upgrade" install using my W7 distribution CD today after running chkdsk and stopping all startup and nonbasic services with msdiag. The installer completed successfully and caused a repair of .net 4 before reboot. Perhaps that was my main problem. Prior to this install I updated my graphics driver yesterdsy also.

    Is there a good way to learn if this has corrected my problem ?

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
