I'm sorry then, I can't help any more than that. I can often get the issue fixed, but diagnosing them is not my specialty!
Good luck!

The dump files blame R5U870FUamd64.sys - a component of your Ricoh USB Video Class Image Capture Controller; 5U870 device firmware (webcam).

Okay. That's odd. I been using this computer with 7 and using the webcam on and off for months and just now it screws up...
How do I completely uninstall the driver? do I just uninstall the webcam from the device manager?
The driver I should be looking for is "Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC8"... there are no drivers specifically for 7, as was expected, only for Vista... will that do? the Vista driver is what the cam has been running on (fairly well) till now
Bump with more info... tried uninstalling the driver via device manager (selecting the camera, properties, driver, uninstall driver...). Then windows asked me to restart, I said yes, at which point BSOD, no big deal since the driver was probably still loaded at this point.
But then right after the restart windows recognized the webcam (its attached to the laptop of course) and installed a new driver for it right away. Is there any way to prevent it from doing this so I can install Sony's?
Not easily, just install Sony's over it.
As it's a Vista driver, do it this way:
Compatibilty Mode Driver Installation:
1 - Download the latest driver from the manufacturer's website.
2 - Uninstall the current drivers using the Control Panel...Programs and features...Uninstall a program applet. Then verify that the driver/device has been removed in Device Manager
3 - Right click on freshly downloaded driver installation file and select "Properties"
4 - Select the Compatibility tab - and do the following:
- Click on the "Change settings for all users" button
- Click on the box to select "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and then select Windows Vista Service Pack 1
- Click on the box to select "Run as administrator"
- Click on OK to exit all the dialogs
5 - Right click on the driver installation file and select "Run as administrator"
6 - Let it install and see if that stops the BSOD's.
Alright I'll try that. It's a mess right now hehe. Somehow I did a restart without a BSOD and Idk exactly how things are. Webcam even works, call it blind luck. If after next shut down I'm getting a BSOD, I'll try your method, usasma.
