BSOD when trying to update Video Card Drivers

[kotoran]

Hello. I'm not sure if this belongs here or somewhere else. I am trying to update my video card drivers, but I get a BSOD when I try to do it. My ZIP file contains three crashes, and all three of them have different error codes. The last one (in August) might not be relevant, but the two in October both are.

My suspicion is that there is a problem in the registry involving the video card drivers, but I don't know how I'd go about fixing this.

Edit: I ran Memtest86 on my computer recently and there was not a problem involving my RAM.

There seems to be a problem with the PnP Manager or at least the drivers for the device, and how they are handling certain IRPs. The IRP seems most likely related to the _MJ_PNP Major Function code; IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_RELATIONS seems to be the specific Minor Function code where the problem might have happened. I'm also guessing that a routine was used which took a device object as a parameter, before the a device node was created within the device tree by the PnP Manager for the associated device object.

These driver update and installation programs usually install incorrect and unstable drivers, please remove the program completely, and only install device drivers from your model support page or the hardware vendor.

Run Driver Verifier to scan for any corrupted drivers which may be causing problems, this program works by running various stress tests on drivers, in order to produce a BSOD which will locate the driver; run for least 24 hours:

I tried running Driver Verifier but my computer would not start up when it was activated. The Windows 7 splash would come up but when it should have gone to the desktop, the screen remained black. Is this normal?

 

[x BlueRobot]

Sorry for my absence, I've been ill most of this week.

It is in a way, but it should boot normally into Windows. Have you disabled it now?

I would suggest reinstalling your drivers from the manufacturer's support page.

 

[kotoran]

I'm going to try to get driver verifier to work when I have time for it.

I can't reinstall or upgrade the drivers because that is what causes the BSOD. It 's like as soon as the install program tries to read the current version of driver installed, it crashes the computer.

I'll update the thread if I get something from driver verifier.

 

[x BlueRobot]

Okay, and have you tried installing the drivers manually?

 

[kotoran]

No I haven't. I haven't heard of this before. I'll try it.

 

[x BlueRobot]

Okay, please post an update when finished.
