New build - BSOD'ing like crazy!!

You can uninstall drivers through device manager. Right click Computer and select manage. Highlight device manager on the side. You'll be presented with multiple categories, each with items in them. You can try click on them to uninstall. If you are using the same Windows install that was orignally used with different hardware you you've changed the motherboard and processor, but left the hard drive, this is probably causing all the problems. Make sure all the old drivers get cleared out.

It is best to download drivers from the manufacturers' websites and install them yourself. We generally do not recommend using Device Manager or Windows Update to update third party drivers. Microsoft does not always have the latest drivers in their driver storage. But one can definitely uninstall drivers through Device Manager.

Today I have just gone through atleast 6 BSODs :@

I've just tried to get my .DMP files ready for upload, but I'm getting yet another error message:

'File not found or no read permission.'

What have I done wrong now?

I think I know why I'm BSOD'ing now!

When I installed my new motherboard, I didn't/haven't remove/d the chipset drivers. But I don't know how to un-install as I it isn't in 'Uninstall a program'. Would it be 'nVidia Drivers'?


If you have not, install the drivers (chipset, LAN, audio etc.) for your your new motherboard (most likely would have come on a CD/DVD with the board) and then reinstall the drivers for your hardware, one at time to isolate any adverse effects.

Hope this helps and regards
