Windows 7 - Xbox 360 controller Bluescreen

[Calthek]

I've seen a few posts similar to this but none seemed to of helped so I will explain everything I can here and hope someone can help.

I have got a 360 controller for my laptop that until recently worked 100% the time without hassle for all my games, then today I tried playing it and got Bluescreen straight away.
I can't think as to what has changed to be honest, and tried all different things like re-installing the drivers for the controller, running it without drivers installed...and whatever I thought might work like updating drivers ect ect, and still no luck...so I am resorting to this...

PLEASE HELP! lol!
System info:
Windows 7 64bit Premium
Intel Core Duo @ 2.2GHz
Nvidia GForce GT 240M 1GB
4GB Ram

Please if anyone at all can help, please do so, I have attached my dump files too from the last few error reports.

Much thanks for the time you take to read this and try to help me out.

All of these were identical and caused by MijXfilt.sys. I would re-install it at least or momove it if possible since it caused all of them.

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 0000000000000000, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: fffff88002fe0988, Exception Record Address
Arg4: fffff88002fe01f0, Context Record Address

I would not delete it outright. I would first rename it to MijXfilt.bak. That way if something is using it (and there probably is) you can see what complains. It might be something related to Xbox, etc.

But it is lethal to your computer stability.

 

[Calthek]

it won't let me delete...won't even let me rename...says I need SYSTEM's approval - yet I am on the one and only account on this laptop and got admin rights

Oh and the program that was using this file was called Motion Joy, it was made so that you can make PS3 controllers work on a PC via usb, I have deleted/uninstalled it, but can't seem to get rid of this file...but nothing else will use it so if you know how I can fully delete it, would be a great help.

Try rebooting into safe mode.

 

[Calthek]

and treat me like an idiot all you like lol, but how do I boot into safe mode without causing a blue screen to begin with lol

Hum, my bad. Have you tried unplugging everything USB (except keyboard and mouse)

 

[Calthek]

well it's a laptop, but I forced a blue screen using the 360 pad, ran safe mode still couldn't edit the folder at all

Think I need to bypass the system's approval thing, delete the folder entirely, then re-install the controller...but I don't know how to bypass the system approval.

shameless self bump to first page, just to see if anyone knows how to fix this.

If you are getting BSOD's we could really use the minidump to analyze.




To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.



To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

my minidump is located in my first post...someone was happily help me out too after figuring what was causing it, but never got a reply after.

have you had BSOD's since 5 days ago? did you re-install/uninstall the driver?

Once I could rename the program,can I delete it or not?

So once I could rename it. Should I delete it after? Cause I tried to delete everything related to the 360 controller and the blue screen still appear everytime I plug it in

 

[TureCrimela]

Since no one reply,I tried some test myself like changing the USB side where I plug it in.It was working at first but as soon as you unplug it and try to replug it in...no matter what I do I always get blue screen than my PC just restart and if I dont take off the 360 controller from the USB switch well my PC will keep restarting till I take it off.My guess is that they really need to find an update for windows 7 64b cause the one they have right now is not working and also half of my game who always recognize the 360 controller like NFS hot Pursuit,Borderlands etc they dont even recognize it anymore

 

[ihelpyou]

I had the same problem. My system crashes when i plug in my xbox 360 controller after installation (Xbox 360 Accessories 1.2).

But here i have the SOLUTION:

The BSOD is caused by the file "MijXfilt.sys". The file is part of the driver for the software "Motioninjoy".
With Motioninjoy you can use your playstation 3 controller on your pc.
It is not enough to uninstall motioninjoy, you have to delete the driver.

First you plug in your ps3 controller and "Microsoft Common Controller For Windows" appears in the device manager.
Right Click on it and "Uninstall" -> "Delete the driver software for this device".

After that the following file is uninstalled:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\mijxinput.inf_amd64_neutral

Now delete this file:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mijXfilt.sys


Now you can install the xbox software and plug in the controller.

A restart isn't necessary for all of this.


I hope i could helped you!

 

[phantomofdaatl]

Thank you!!!!

ihelpyou,
I have searched the internet for an answer that I could understand and have tried pretty much everything that I could think of... I even scanned the keyregs. I would just like to say thank you for your help. If you have helped no one else, you have surely helped me. A million thank yous.
