    BSOD during System Restore, Recent driver update at fault?


    Hello, Yesterday I updated the driver for my AMD Radeon HD6310 equipped Gateway laptop . After it was installed WM player and VLC player stopped working so I rolled back the driver but it did not fix the issue. I noticed that after the "driver" installation, some programs were added and some windows processes were altered.

    I went to System Restore and picked a restore point before the driver update. However after initializing, the system crashed and I got a BSOD. I tried several other restore points but they all crashed and led to the BSOD.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, AMD Dual-Core Processor E-350, AMD Radeon HD 6310

    Here is the system log:

    Please run the DM Log Collector again and upload a new zip, the current uploaded one misses several logs.
    You could check if there are
    1. 18 .txt,
    2. 1 .nfo,
    3. 1 or more .dmp,

    files present, if this is the case then all logs are present :)
    If there are a few missing, no problem as we can get them manually if required :)

    Thanks for your help.

    I ran the DM Log collector again and the .nfo and .txt files are now present. However, for some reason the .dmp files did not show up on the zip file.

    So I ran it the DM Log collector once more and the .dmp files are now present on the second zip file.

    More Info


    To be clear, even though AMD stated that it was just a simple "driver update", it actually installed other software as well.

    It installed 4 programs (that I can see) Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86) 11.0.50727, Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x64) 11.0.50727, AMD Quick Stream & AMD Catalyst Install Manager.

    Please install the AMD drivers via this way:
    Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD. Be sure to install as less as possible software using custom/advanced options, you can use this tutorial to do so AMD Graphics Drivers - Install Without Catalyst Install Manager

    Diagnostics Test

     System File Check


    Please try following:
    • Open an admin command prompt
    • Copy/paste "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
    • When it is finished reboot your system
    • Open again an admin command prompt
    • Enter sfc/scannow again

    If sfc/scannow says "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" after the second SFC, please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
    System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.

    Make a photo of the result and post it.

    Thanks for the help.

    Should I do the driver uninstall/reinstall first or the diagnostics?
