bicostp:
Make sure your drivers are all up to date, especially the video card's.

Caleb:


Well the reason I think it's software is because the windows update thing went crazy.

Plus there seems to be some sort of error where it says there is no driver for a universal serial Bus controller.  I just dunno.

I will update my video driver though.

*edit*

OK I updated my video driver and a few other drivers and did a memory test to test for bad memory.  No bad memory according to the test.

No blue screens yet.  But I still have no idea what the hell these other devices are with no drivers.

it just says other device Universal Serial Bus Controller with the little no driver error exclamation point.  I mean it seems like all my hardware is represented on that list.  So I dunno.

*edit*

Left an AI battle with Starcraft 2 running.  No Blue Screens yet.

So hopefully it was updating the video card driver that helped or some other update?  I dunno.  This whole mess is just pissing me off.

Caleb:



God Dammit.

Now it's downloading the same update over and over!

I dunno there has got to be some corrupt files with the windows update thing.  I just used the action center and it supposedly fixed some of these issues.  I already tried doing a restore point from before all this crap started to happen.

If I get a blue screen again I am simply going to reinstall windows 7 and start over.

Caleb:
Spend my night doing a complete reinstall of windows and EVERYTHING.

No more missing drivers.

No more wonky update stuff.  It seems to have updated everything correctly.

I am pretty sure this whole mess was because of corrupted update files.

I think I am in the clear.

Caleb:
No sooner did I type than then I Blue Screened AGAIN.

It must be some sort of hardware problem.  This sucks.

Only other strange thing I noticed was the time on the clock keeps on coming up wrong.  Which is odd because when I did my install of windows it had the correct time.
