Permanent BSOD after updating NVIDIA driver
Hello there
I currently got a few BSOD Issues on my PC. To help restrict the area of causes, this is what happened:
I got BSODs from time to time since roughly one year. They happened say every 2 weeks, 90% of them when i was playing video games (counter strike global offensive). I never took any notes of the error codes because they occured not too often and didn't bother me too much. Sometimes instead of a BSOD the audio and video would freeze and the PC didn't register any mouse or keyboard input -> reboot button on the front. This happend only while playing video games.
Two days a go i started the PC again my PC got a BSOD/froze 4 times in a row - in a time span of 15 minutes. 2 times while still on the desktop, 2 time while starting the game.
I figured, since it was almost always related to the video game, updating the graphics driver might help. I got a Geforce 8800 GTS and had the 331.65 driver version installed. Since it was outdated for almost a year i uninstalled it and started downloading the current version - 340.52. I started installing it, but windows' auto-driver-installer or smth. like that already kicked in and installed Version 334.89 - an older version.
I though, if I install a driver, i install the newest driver. So i rebooted the PC without a problem, took out the net cable, unistalled 334.89 and installed 340.52. Some parts of the software NVIDIA tried to install failed, but the driver was installed.
-------------------------------------------------------
I rebooted my PC ever since i got a BSOD right after the Windows logo.
It started off with 0x000000C5(0x00001A18, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8412B4C1)
I started in safe mode and unistalled the driver. Still a BSOD after reboot: 0xC0000005(???)
I also tried reinstalling all the other driver versions mentioned above, still a BSOD. Currently i got no NVIDIA driver installed and always get 0x0000007E(0xC0000005, ???)
I hope with this and the files attached, somebody is able to help me :)
Greetings, Elias
