Windows 7 Boots to BSOD

Gizmo73O said:

I've read your BSOD instruction the only problem is I'm getting a bluescreen on startup. I'm dual booting x64/x86 Windows 7 Ultimate. x64 being the one with the problem x86 being the one I'm on now. When I run the Dump & System File Collection app it just pulls information from my 32 bit install.

I'll include the zip anyway but note the above information.

Each time I try to boot my x64 install it starts to load windows/plays the logo animation then when it's about done I get a BSOD stating.

PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
...
...
...
STOP:0x00000006B

(May not be the correct #of 0's) The rest of the stop information is just 0x000... over and over. After it blue screens if I select the install again after restart it lets me use the recovery console. It doesn't find any problems and when I try system restore it errors out "0x800700005".

I've tried deleting the bootcat.cache file, it didn't help.

Both installs were fresh. If you need anymore information just let me know.

Try this and upload dmp

If you wish to have others assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder. The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Start your own thread in the appropriate section of the forum and attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
* Briefly describe the problem history and circumstances in the same post. Somebody will attend to your query as soon as possible.

The folder is there but there's nothing in it. And my apologies I'm not actually dual booting atleast not on the same drives, the OS's are on 2 different drives I had just forgotten :x.

Edit: I can update my drivers but it'll be for the 32-bit install that's not having problems. =/ Installing Ethernet drivers now.

TY for the quick replys

Still blue screening. Any other directories on my x64 drive that might help? Any way for me to look at that OS's event viewer in this ones?

Mine is setup for a Kernel Memory Dump in the directory: %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP

I can't find any such file in my windows directory so should I'm going to change it to minidump > bluescreen and see if any files show up in the minidump folder.

So... I went with a reinstall since I was at a loss. I finally get booted into the desktop and I get a notice saying windows experienced and error and it lists my bluescreen stop code etc. and lists files that may help find out what caused the error -_-. Lo and behold it finally creates the dumpfile. So here's to helping someone else that may experience this problem.

Can't help but laugh at this point.
