Intermittent BSODs

<< < (2/3) > >>

Boggin:
I would suggest that you go into Device Manager, make a list of the devices then go to those vendor websites and look for Win 7 drivers.

It's possible that right clicking on each and selecting Update Driver Software and let it default search online will get you the correct drivers, but I would opt for going to the vendor for each device.

Nvidia is the exception because Nvidia graphic drivers can be OEM modified and downloading from Nvidia will quite often produce its own BSOD.

If your audio is Realtek then you could still have the old AC'97 driver which will need updating to one for Win 7.

You could ask the guy who upgraded it for you to see if any of the drivers were updated to be Win 7 compatible.

There may also be a BIOS update, but you would need to go to the computer support site if the machine is a branded one and to the motherboard support site if custom built.

  I have ATI Radeon X1200 series graphics drivers and I do have Realtek audio. 
  Attached is a screenshot of my Crash Dump Files.  Does that tell you anything about the BSOD's?   
  I will check out the above reply from you & see what I can find out.
Thank you

Boggin:
From a Google on that error code, it points to a serious hardware problem.

See if updating all of the drivers will help.

The fact that it is intermittent tends to make it harder to nail down.

Does Event Viewer record any Errors for when you got/get these BSODs ?

Boggin:
On the off chance that your machine isn't Win 7 compatible, run the upgrade advisor.

  Hi- yes, I did run the upgrade advisor before & after upgrading.  It was compatible, but whether he did it like he was suppose to, I don't know.  Probably not. 
  Here is an attachment (2) of my Event Viewer showing the BSOD problem.  First one shows all critical events & the other is from the latest event that shows the properties.  All other event properties are the same except for the date of the event.
