Solved BSOD right after login error 0x7f caused by ntoskrnl.exe+7efc0

[Arc]

As per the latest dump, the drivers are still there.

 lmvm nvlddmkm
start             end                 module name

Try another one .....

• Download and install Driver Fusion.
• Reboot the computer in Advanced Boot Options, safe mode. Search Driver Fusion in your start menu, and remove all components of your nVidia display driver.
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Drivers > Beta and Legacy; search there with your cards particulars for GeForce 306.23 Driver, dated 13.9.2012 and install it.

Is it the same here?

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Only the display drivers, right? Not the chipset and physX?

 

[Arc]

Apparently, not. And, I haven't found (not searched, too; as it did not show any error) for the chipset drivers.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Might just be me doing it wrong, but it didn't work, i used the driver you posted but it still bluescreened

 

[Arc]

Not Aug 30, but Sept 9. Try the version I linked in the earlier post please?

 lmvm nvlddmkm
start             end                 module name

It it crashes on that particular version too (the most stable one I have ever seen) we are to think otherwise.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Must have clicked the wrong one, sorry about that Arc!

I'll do it in a moment

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Tried getting some more bluescreens before i wiped the drivers.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Wiping and reinstalling did not work.

I used this one:
Driver i used.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

I tried some games, and it seemed as if darksiders was the only game making my system crash, but there has been some crashes when i am not gaming, mostly when on a site called

plug.dj

 

[Arc]

Is there any further crash dumps after you changed the drivers?

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Here you go, the one i posted earlier might be from after the update, but i don't remember.

 

[Arc]

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Crashed right at the startup, got a screen that windows was unable to start due to recent changes or something, and then i retried which caused a bluescreen.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

I disabled the verifier in safemode which made me able to restart again.-

Do some general USB related troubleshootings ....
For the port, first, uninstall and reinstall the USB ports drivers.

1. Right click on Computer icon > manage. It will open the computer management window.
2. Click on "Device Manager" in the left pane, it will list all installed devices up.
3. Expand "USB Serial Bus Controllers" by clicking on the triangle in front of it.
4. Click on one item to select, then right click and uninstall.
5. Do the same for all.
6. Restart the computer.
7. At restart, windows will auto configure the appropriate drivers.

And, Disable USB Selective Suspense too.
USB Selective Suspend - Turn On or Off


For the devices, first, detach all the USB devices other than the keyboard and mouse.
Then, Update the drivers for them all, including the keyboard and mouse, if any third party drivers are installed for them.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Seems like quite the deal, sure this is the cause?

 

[Arc]

You do it first, ok

At least it will not harm anything, but some SUB related errors are recoverable by doing this.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

Still got a crash whilst i was listening to a song on youtube ._.

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

• Double click to open it.
• Click this button only:
• 
• If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.

Free up the startup.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept the restart.

I guess you have two antivirus programs installed.

Start Menu\Programs\Norton 

c:\program files\microsoft security client\msseces.exe

Uninstall Norton and all Symentec products using Norton Removal tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Update your network drivers.

• Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller: Realtek
• Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection: Intel Download Center
• Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter: ATHEROS Wireless drivers for Windows
• NETGEAR WNDA3100v2 N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter

Apply the latest version of nVidia display driver.
You may download it directly, from our forum link http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/602-latest-nvidia-forceware-video-drivers-windows-7-a.html; or you may opt for the Option 2 of Drivers- Download NVIDIA Drivers for “Automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products” (it requires java installed).

Let us know the results.

 

[RobbieLeMLG]

updated the atheros drivers
No clue which Realtek driver is correct (messy site)
I no longer have the Netgear driver installed, got rid of it when i got my ethernet cable
Also updated the intel one
And the nVidia one


I only have windows essentials installed when it comes to AV-software, i found some norton files where you had located them and deleted them.
