Intermittent BSODs
hgw53t:
Does the free edition of Tweaking.com have the capability to repair corrupt driver devices in a Windows 7 personal computer? I have a BSOD (blue screen of death) intermittent problem only at boot up.
Boggin:
The best way to deal with a corrupt driver is to reinstall it, but you need to find why you are getting BSODs intermittently.
Did they start after downloading anything ?
Do you get a Stop Error Code and message when you get the BSOD ?
BlueScreenView will analyse your Memory Dump files and can give a clue as to the cause.

If you use CCleaner then you will need to uncheck the box for Memory Dumps so that it doesn't wipe them.
I've changed your thread title to Intermittent BSODs.
hgw53t:
Yes, it started when computer was UPGRADED from Vista to Win 7 back on 4/11/2017. BSOD's are happening more frequent now.
Yes, I get different STOP Error codes: Ox000000C5, Ox00000001, Ox0000008E, Ox0000007E and others.
I do have CCleaner installed. How do I use that in order to find out anything about my BSOD's?
Boggin:
You need to open CCleaner and under the Windows tab scroll down to System and uncheck the box for Memory Dumps as it will wipe them so BlueScreenView will have nothing to analyse.
Have you downloaded BlueScreenView yet ?
Did you update the drivers for Win 7, although Vista drivers will work in Win 7 unless you are using an AC'97 audio driver, which doesn't sit well in Win 7.
hgw53t:
I did not upgrade computer, but I do not think he updated any device drivers.
No, have not downloaded Blue Screen View yet. I would like to start with CCleaner first.
I can get into all the MiniDump files on computer, but when I open any of them with Notepad, Microsoft Office, etc., I am seeing which looks like it is all encrypted. How would I be able to decrypt or decipher so I can read it? I believe that would tell me something about the BSOD's.
