Bluescreen: new driver or something sinister?

by luketigers . Updated 15 years, 6 months ago

Hi, just wondering whether it is not uncommon to get a blue screen following installing new drivers. I had just downloaded and installed the new drivers for my Razer Naga from their website. Upon being asked to restart the computer and selecting OK I got an instant Bluescreen.

Below is the report

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 3081

Additional information about the problem:

BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 768_1

Is it most likely from the driver or could it be from something else on my computer (virus, hacker etc.). I’d rather reformat than assume it’s ok. I have been having moderate issues with Firefox loading slowly and any games I run seem to push the RAM to near limit and hence run slowly. This has been for about 4 weeks.

I’m running Windows 7 64bt. It’s frustrating seeing my RAM at near capacity for just a game and firefox (plugins use a bit).

Cheers for any insights.
