Solved BSOD after plugging in ps3 controller through USB

[kevil0922]

Windows seven ultimate x64 copy installed on my computer 2 days ago. It's SP1, but lacking in updates as windows update has been completely and utterly f*cked for me. When wanting to play mario on an emulator, the first thing I did was plug in a ps3 controller. Apart from the ds3 tool and chrome nothing else was open. This is the first time it happened. I do not/ cannot find a minidump file. but there is a memory dump file worth 600mb.

Could this be because of the lacking windows updates or something else? This has never happened to me before.

Please read BSOD Posting Instructions & How to upload files & yes it could be.

I have stated in my initial post that it was a fresh install of windows which is the reason why it was not set to create minidumps. I do have however the memory dump which is a 600mb file

Not entirely true that that is the reason why a dump isn't created, it is also due to missing updates why a minidump couldn't be created.

Well, I know that right after it happened I checked the minidump folder which was empty and then I changed the settings for it to create the small memory dump. Can the memory dump file be of any use?

 

[axe0]

Yes, it contains more than a minidump but can be large for which the reason is why you need to upload it to a service like google drive, dropbox or onedrive.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately it contains not much, not enough for me to provide any suggestion as a possible fix. I could provide instructions for driver verifier, but it is preferrable to run driver verifier after Windows is up to date

Cool, thanks anyway!

I'll try to sort out windows update and I will mark this as resolved.

Thanks for your help!
