Windows 7 - Fresh install Win7 32 bit - blue screen

**timber** · 01-21-2010

I just installed Windows 7 32 bit on an 15 month old, pretty decent Toshiba A300 Laptop. After a day I got my first blue screen.

Attached is the minidump file.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

BTW - the install was clean - i.e., I freshly reformatted the HD and installed the OS.

As it's a video error, the usual suspects are:
- video driver corruption - uninstall current driver, install new one's from video card manufacturer (Drivers & Support | GAME.AMD.COM) DO NOT install the Catalyst Control Center - just the Display Driver!
- overheating - blow out case with canned air (not vacuum or air compressor - it will cause damage)
- overheating - check to ensure that fan is working

A quick update. It seems the more recent (8/2009) driver is the problem. I rolled back to a previous driver (from 4/2009) and it seems to function better. However, my machine just automatically updated my driver to the newer, more troublesome one. Is there a way to prevent the driver from being updated?
