BSOD lately usually just after boot-up

[james73]

Hello.

I'm getting BSOD after boot-ups lately. I have a dual Win7 boot and it's happening
on both boots. It's **usually** just once shortly after boot-up but it did happen
the other day twice inside 5 minutes on one of the boots. I've had this PC set-up
like this since the end of November and this has only just started happening.

Hiya and welcome to SevenForums!rb:

The problem is caused by your graphics driver. Run Display Driver Uninstaller(DDU)
Make sure you tick the Uninstall C:/AMD and C:/NIVIDA folders while you are in DDU when you are done running DDU install your graphics driver again and you should be good to go! This is the guide for DDU: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/83814-drivers-clean-left-over-files-after-uninstalling.html

Remember to remove Catalyst and only install the graphics driver.

 

[james73]

How do you recommend installing the driver? Manually via updating the driver in Device Manager?

 

[james73]

Ok. Last night I used DDU to remove the drivers, rebooted and manually updated the driver but did
not install Catalyst.

This morning, I've just turned the PC on and it's crashed - twice.

Hmm, downgrade the driver.

 

[james73]

I did that earlier today. Now using driver 13.9.

Upon restarting the PC after leaving it off for a short time, I opened up Firefox (this is often where
the PC would hang, then go to a BSOD) - this time, the screen went black but came back on with
a warning about the graphics card not responding but has now recovered.

No BSOD so far with the older driver.

Hmm, run Furmark. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html
