BSOD Before and After Clean Win7 Install
Hi all,
I do a fresh install of Win7 every 6 months or so. I started getting BSOD a little over a month ago after 6 months of no problems. I have not installed any new programs for at least 2 months before the BSOD started. This is the first time I have gotten a BSOD on this laptop ever. I have been getting a BSOD about twice a week. They seemed to happen randomly: while playing games, surfing the web, streaming video, running MSE antivirus. I ran memtest86 for about a dozen passes with no errors. I got a SSD yesterday and I was hoping the BSOD would go away after a fresh install. After installing Win7, SP1, and drivers, I did windows updates. They downloaded fine, but as soon as they started installing, I got a BSOD for memory management. I tried installing the updates again and got a BSOD for irql not less or equal.
I appreciate any help, thanks!
