Windows 7 blue screen dumping physical memory

This is my generic how to for proper driver updates : This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded : DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed sound drivers particularly do this so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for those even if all memory tests fail to show a problem. Joe Bro. Hello, today i turned on my laptop, and i get this blue screen of death error, it looks like this :.

In reply to SpiritX's post on December 3, Hi, References to Vista also apply to Windows 7. Consider testing memory with Windows Memory Diagnostic or memtest Note that memory that passes tests is not necessarily good memory - it just hasn't failed a test. Consider systematically eliminating RAM from the system - run with a couple of modules for a while, and see how things go. Then try the other modules. If you boot into safe mode, do you still experience bugchecks?

What about if you do a clean boot , or device clean boot? It can be helpful to use Driver Verifier. To enable Driver Verifier Then, reboot and use the system as you normally would, and wait for a problem. In the event that the system does not boot completely after enabling driver verifier, boot into Safe Mode and run driver verifier, and tell it to delete the changes.

Wait for a bugcheck to occur after enabling verifier as described, and then upload it to your SkyDrive , and provide a link. Office Office Exchange Server.
