Just keep us informed and use that pen and paper and keep notes. They can come in very handy at times.

Sounds about right to me, if you are talking about making an image. I think that would be good as he would never have to do a clean install again.

 

[Layback Bear]

Yes a image is what I'm talking about. Do you recommend another program to use to make a image?

I'm thinking their was more than one problem covering up another problem.

If every thing goes well adding the printer and stay the hell away X-Box until last.

Cutting down that list in post # 125 should be a challenge.

 

[essenbe]

Macrium is probably the best, but I use Macrium and Paragon, simply because I never trust just 1 program.

The interesting thing about the X-box is I've used it as a windows 7 media center extender for years with no problems--I sure hope it's not an issue as that's a big part of how I record and watch TV--HDHomerun grabs the feed from antenna, and media center records to external hard drive, which I then watch on TV via xbox 360 extender. Anyway, we'll take it one step at a time as discussed before, and I will be documenting carefully each step.

OK, it's now been 3 days since the clean install. No BSOD. Windows is fully up to date.

The following are installed in this order:

1) Intel LAN driver
2) ASUS bluetooth 4.0 wifi driver
3) MSE
4) Chrome w/ adblock
5) Intel chipset driver
6) Intel USB 3.0 extensible host controller driver
7) Real Temp (not really installed I guess--it just runs from a folder)
8) Malwarebytes Anti-malware free (scan shows no malicious items found)
9) Samsung Magician--firmware current, drive health good

Unless you tell me otherwise, my plan for tonight is to make a system image with Macrium, and then plug into the router. I would like to install video driver and audio driver after that but may wait a day or two. I think it makes sense to use the WHQL driver for video since I've not tried that. Thoughts?

 

[essenbe]

Sounds good to me. Always use the WHQL drivers.

 

[stavesacre03]

FYI, I discovered tonight that the DVD-RW drive I had plugged in would not burn an ISO. This is the same drive I installed the windows disc from. Hope that didn't somehow give me a corrupt windows install. Anyway, I plugged in my second DVD-RW and was able to burn the Macrium recovery ISO no problem. Well, onward and upward.

 

[stavesacre03]

Sounds good to me. Always use the WHQL drivers.

One thing I'm not clear on is how do I know if a driver is WHQL? For example, are the latest, non-beta AMD and Realtek drivers WHQL?

 

[essenbe]

It should say so on the driver download page.

 

[stavesacre03]

OK, the latest AMD driver, Omega 14.12 dated 12/8/14, doesn't say WHQL anywhere that I can see.

 

[essenbe]

I know, I looked at it. I can only assume it is as I've seen other places say it was. I am looking now to try to see how to tell. As of right now, I am assuming like you, if it doesn't say Beta, it's WHQL.

 

[essenbe]

stavesacre03, why AMD does not say, I have no idea. It is my understanding that in order to be signed, it must be WHQL. You can install an unsigned driver, but you will get a warning before it installs.

 

[stavesacre03]

OK, thanks for the info.

Steve and Jack, I just wanted to share a quick update. I'm now 14 days since the clean install and this long process of adding programs. No BSOD to date. Since I previously was going no more than 3 days without a BSOD I THINK it's safe to say all hardware is fine as is all software/drivers I've loaded so far (all but HDHomerun were installed more than 3 days ago). I've basically done everything except connecting to x-box 360 (windows media center extender) and installing Plex. My plan is to add the x-box as WMC extender on Wed and then install Plex Media Server on Sat. About the only other things I haven't installed yet are Steam, Adobe Reader, MS Office and Garmin Express.

I have to believe a BSOD is coming though, as the point of this whole process was to identify what was causing my blue screens. I'm making Macrium backup images at each step (before I add something new). My question is if a BSOD happens and based on my install plan I should be able to say it is either connection to x-box or Plex, for example, should I revert to the most recent Macrium image, or should I uninstall what I believe is causing the BSOD at that point and see if that is enough? We can cross that bridge when/if we get there, but thought I'd ask now so I'm prepared. Thanks-Tim

 

[essenbe]

stavesacre03, I can only answer this way. If it were me, I would uninstall it and try to uninstall everything I could find that came with it. If I still had BSODs, I would go to the Macrium images. I would also encourage you to use another imaging program as well. My Primary is Macrium too, and think it is the easiest and probably the best, but I also use Paragon, just in case. My philosophy is it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. You are free to choose whichever program you prefer, I only told you what I do. The free version of Acronis is also available if you have a Western Digital or Seagate hard drive. The free version is not so bad, but I would never put the full paid version on.

Well that does make good sense, thanks for the reply. And I will install Paragon or Acronis to be safe.

While it does not always work like you want it to, you can manually create a restore point before installing the program. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/697-system-restore-point-create.html It has saved my bacon several times.

Yes, I've used that manually a few times as well. Can't hurt for redundancy.

I'm back with an update. I believe I have everything re-installed, including Plex, HDHomerun, x-box 360 as media extender, etc. Zero BSOD. I'm at a loss. I've done nothing different except used a SP1 iso instead of my retail disc to install, and I also replaced the DVD-RW that wasn't burning correctly. Everything else was identical--same hardware, drivers, etc. I've created Macrium and Acronis images every 3 days and installed basically one or two programs every 3 days for the past 35 days.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about no BSOD, but really baffled about why not. I've been at this since December, replaced multiple components and just wish I knew why it's working now....
