Hey, I'm having a serious bluescreen issue atm. Background: I installed a game I got off a friend (highly suspect copy of the game) and after a little while this all started. first up, It just BSOD while I was browsing the net (firefox 4 beta) 3-5mins after installing. After that it would boot to the login screen and BSOD. I could complete the login screen, but it would BSOD before acutally completing. These were either a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. Same thing would happen with all three versions of safemode. I then tried a whole heap of stuff i found online, one of which broke it more so: I booted into repair mode via F8, and ran "bootrec /fixmbr" and "bootrec /fixboot" since then, It BSOD almost as soon as it gets the the blue bootscreen (just after the black and coloured orbs screen) continually. There is no mention of a exception or anything, just a STOP of 7E (i think). I've tried running a chkdsk. most notabily I followed the instructions from here with no avail. logfiles : http://cid-d2563872e14031de.office.live.com/self.aspx/shared/dumps.zip I have Microsoft Security Essentials installed and upto date. I have no restore point (normally keep them turned off as i have regular backups and the viruses ive had in the past seemed to live in the restore points). Im out of ideas, hence being here. Cheers
