Win7 Pro 64Bit BSOD + App crashes
I recently installed Win7 Pro 64Bit on my system, which now seems to have become completely unstable.
Apps that have run happily for months, or even years under WinXP Pro and then Win 7 Ultimate 32Bit, will now fail to start, and I've also experienced BSOD's after some of the app failures.
I initially thought this might have something to do with the security upgrades and patches I'd installed, but apparently not.
Last weekend I had a total BSOD, couldn't even get into Safe Mode, so I reset my SSD OS drive and did a completely clean install plus update of all drivers and security patches etc.
Because I thought this might have something to do with the updates, when KB2160841 and KB2416472 were released on Tuesday I didn't install them.
I can't remember the last time I saw a BSOD, either under WinXP, and certainly not under Win7 32Bit, which ran flawlessly for over a year.
Does anyone have any insight as to what might be happening?
Thanks
Paul
