Another BSOD, now after new HDD and Win7 install and Windows updates
So last week I posted about BSOD's just after the computer booted up and/or I logged in: BSOD just after logging in and desktop comes up
I ran tests and found bad sectors on my original 3 1/2 year old Seagate 1 TB drive. So I went ahead and installed a new WD drive yesterday and started a clean reinstall of my stuff.
I reinstalled Office 2010 and a couple of other programs, then started the download/install process of 140+ updates. I had to leave the office at 5 pm before the updates were finished installing, so I just let it sit there and keep going.
This morning I came back in to a "Windows had recovered from an unexpected shutdown" message. Looking in the Event Log it looks like it happened in the 5 PM hour yesterday, and I think the updates had finished installing, but I'm not totally sure. Actually I just looked and it says there is 1 more important update and few optional ones.
Before I swapped my HDD yesterday I booted into the Dell utility partition on my old HDD and ran memory tests, and they all passed.
Any ideas?
