BSOD after installing new harddrive

Tekwhat · 27 Dec 2014

I have been running a custom pc for 14 years now, and have never had BSOD issues. I recently replaced my harddrive, I used the same windows 7 image, the only difference is, I no longer have a cd-rom drive, and had to download all the motherboard drivers, and since then, I have been getting random BSOD's. I have tried to read the files myself using bluescreenview but it really doesnt help.

Would any of you happen to know where I should start looking?

Download this earlier version from here and follow NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems for the cleanest possible install.

2: BitDefender has been flagged.

Code:

fffff880`0b2781c8  fffff880`0147d000Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\avc3.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for avc3.sys

Uninstall BitDefender and install MS Security Essentials and MalwareBytes.

Note

Make sure you uncheck the 'Enable Free Trial' box when installing.

There may be one or two more underlying issues but your MSINFO32 file is empty, I really need to see the details of that before suggesting more. Follow the above steps, test for stability and report back.

That is strange that the gpu was flagged. I always install my graphics drivers like your guide states. I will reinstall it and remove bit defender and get back with you.

Driver has been reinstalled.
Bit Defender has been uninstalled.
Will update in a week, if it doesn't BS before then.

It has happened again. I was just browsing the internet when I bluescreened. I have a new zip that includes the previous report plus the one from today.

I updated my bios, and used the motherboard utility to update those drivers as well, today. Lets hope it works. I have bluescreened three times since I last updated.
