Trying to fix BSOD before I deploy!

[K1NG St0Ne]

So I just bought this brand new HP Pavilion dv6-dc35dx and I am already getting blue screens :'(. Usually happens when I'm playing my Diablo 3 and has happened like twice while watching a movie. Also force closes Firefox a lot (not sure if that's related). Really not sure what to do! I attatched the BSOD file, but my computer was unable to do a performance report. When I would run the performance report it would say "An error occured while attempting to generate the report. Access Denied." I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out with this. I'm deploying in September and really would like to get this solved so I can have something to pass the time with.

wdcsam64.sys, your Western Digital External Drive RAID Manager driver.


Many of your crashes were DirectX/graphics card related. DirectX comes installed with Windows, so this may indicate Windows corruption. It may also be that you have corrupted drivers or a graphics card hardware problem.

• If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
  
  
• Check Windows for corruption. Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.

Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps.

   • If any remain of the above, uninstall one at a time
   • If asked to restart after uninstalling any of the above, do so, and continue uninstalling any remaining NVIDIA items until all are removed
6. For AMD:
   • Uninstall AMD Catalyst Install Manager if it is listed (this should remove all AMD graphics software and drivers)

     2. Right Click My Computer/Computer
     3. Click Manage

        • Right click the adapter
        • Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
        • Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device (if this option is available, otherwise just hit OK) and hit OK
