Multiple BSOD's caused by everything from Youtube to BF3

I am seeing the same driver bug in all the latest dumps.

DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught.  This is
because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the
administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.
If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will
be among the most commonly seen crashes.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000091, A driver switched stacks using a method that is not supported by
    the operating system. The only supported way to extend a kernel
    mode stack is by using KeExpandKernelStackAndCallout.
Arg2: 0000000000000002
Arg3: fffffa800f980b50
Arg4: 0000000000000000

Please uninstall the display driver as suggested in Post #2 and then install GeForce 306.23 Driver

Let us see the crash dumps?

If the driver auto update work, it should install the latest version directly, not the earlier one than the latest.

I think the best is you should start afresh with a clean install. The situation is not sounding very good.

If you have followed Drivers - Turn Off Automatic Driver Installation, driver should not be installed via windows update anymore .... at least as far as I know and experienced.

You told that you have followed it and still the driver is being auto installed. That's why I am finding no more way to stop it.

Arc, Have you tried setting windows update to 'let me decide what updates to install'? That will keep it from automatically downloading and installing updates, but I don't know if it will stop it updating from the driver store. If that does not work, set windows update to never install windows updates.

Steve, here ithe issue is, as far as I am seeing, the latest display driver causing it:



The earlier two versions are buggy ... in most of the cases they problems, and those are problematic here, too.

So I suggested an earlier stable version. Here is a part of my suggestion to him ...

Install the latest WHQL only.

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  
  (Are you using nvidia chipset drivers? If so, dont uninstall anything other than those are listed).
• Now follow Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Download 314.22 WHQL. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  

Learned the technique from you.

But, despite of Drivers - Turn Off Automatic Driver Installation, it is automatically updating to a buggy one. How can it be stopped?
