Windows 7: Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers

The bugcheck code I see in that bluescreen snapshot you made does show a 0xC5 crash, which was made by Driver Verifier, meaning it found a driver doing something erroneous and it crashed the system in response. Often it may do this at startup when the driver loads because when the driver loads up it may already have a bug in the works, which DV will detect and respond. You'll want to go to the thread you made and post the resulting crashdumps from the crashes that DV made. Those DV-created crashdumps are more reliable than regular ones.

Thank you for this, I showed ARC your post( he was the one saying I was doing it wrong) and he said "vir is always right" actually checked the crash dumps I had gotten from safe mode and within about 10 mins had found the problem! So thank you for your help!

Hi guys I got this dump files and I need help knowing what is causing my computer to randomly trow a BSOD and reboot. I just build a new computer and looks like some of my drivers are not happy I try reloading and updating some of them but not luck so far. I ran the driver verifier as suggested in this forum and I retrieve this dump files. I hope someone can help me with this issue. thanks.

Hi there skip. Can you please start your own thread? This is more a request for help on an issue and not specifically using Driver Verifier. Plus you'll get more exposure if you make your own thread.
