MacBook Pro 2011 - Startup Repair BSOD after every Hard Shutdown
I've been working on this for about 4 days now, and I'm officially asking someone else for help. I even dished out $30 for RegCure Pro, hoping that it would fix some magical registry madness that is causing my problem.
I've installed a legit "System Builder" copy of Windows 7 Professional on a client's MacBook Pro 15" (2.3 quad-i7) 2011 model, on the Bootcamp partition that's formatted NTFS. It boots fine, and it restarts just fine, but when I actually shut the thing down and let it sit for longer than 60 seconds before turning it back on, the BSOD occurs on startup.
After 60 seconds or more of being completely off, a startup to the Windows partition will result in an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD, and then it goes to the Startup Repair screen. It doesn't matter if I skip Startup Repair or run it - the system will boot either way, right after the BSOD. I can reboot the system 10 times in a row with no issues after this, but the second I shut down and leave it turned off for more than 60 seconds, the error returns.
I've attached my SF diagnostic file, so hopefully someone here can make some sense of this. This is a fresh install, by the way. This laptop had no issues for three years, then I replaced the stock RAM with 16GB of Patriot 1333 Mac RAM, a Crucial M4 512GB SSD, and I replaced 32bit Win7 Pro with 64bit Win7 Pro. I've run the Windows memory test from the DVD, and it found no memory issues. I ran the Mac version of memtest for 5 passes (about 4 hours), and it found no issues with the RAM.
Ideas?
Edit: Forgot to mention I installed the most recent version of Bootcamp (5.0.5033), so all the drivers are whatever Apple decided on.
