BSOD in Win7 Ultimate !!!HELP!!! Hello all.
I'm new to this forum and the main reason that i m writing is about a Windows 7 BSOD.
You can see my computer specs on my signature or in my profile.
The problem is that i have BSOD randomly when i m using my PC. The BSOD happens only in Windows 7 Ultimate. In Windows Vista Ultimate everything runs perfectly.
Here is the full story: I first installed Windows 7 Ultimate RC (when the RC1 become public for the first time and later the RC2) and after two or three days that everything worked perfectly I get the first BSOD and after that, every one to two hours I have a BSOD. I reinstalled windows 7 and again after one or two days, the same think happened. I believed that the main cause for this is the RC release that I was using. I performed a format and reinstalled Windows Vista Ultimate that I was running till Friday (two months now) with no problems at all. In Friday I got my Ultimate version of Windows 7 and I performed a clean install. Everything worked perfectly till today that the first BSOD came up again, exactly the time that ConvertXtoDVD finished burning a DVD. After that I keep getting BSOD all time.
I have run memtest for at least 8 hours but I cant find any errors on my memory. Also I have install all the windows updates. All the drivers is the ones that comes with windows 7 except for the graphic card that I install them from Nvidia site. Also the network and the Sound card drivers is the ones that Windows Update gave me.
The Software that i m using is:
Avast Professional
Photoshop CS4
Internet Download Manger
ConvertXtoDVD
Microsoft Office 2007 with SP2 and all the updates
iTunes
Revo Uninstaller
WinRAR
Windows Live (all the package)
Please help me because I m loosing my mind here…!
Thank u in advance and sorry for my English and the long text.  )

Using the program to convert video is fine. But use something else to write the DVD. I personally use ImgBurn

The file I am referring to is pcouffin.sys (low level access layer for CD/DVD/BD devices -- published by VSO Software) and it is installed along side ConvertX.
Try reinstalling the latest version of ConvertX. Maybe it will update the driver.

You can right-click on the file %systemroot%\system32\ drivers\pcouffin.sys and go to Properties. The General tab will tell the date and the version tab will tell the version. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Too many to list.

I would seriously consider following sup3rsprts' advice.. To chose a program over system stability is foolish in my opinion... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ASUSTeK Computer INC.
