    Getting the BSOD again with the infamous stop f4 error. However when I shut down and restart all is good. No error or BSOD on the second start. What could be causing that?

    When I do a repair, I get a message that a driver is bad. Device drivers seem to be OK. So, how do I locate the bad driver?

    More than likely the only driver that could cause a BsOD would be videocard drivers. Uninstall your old nvidia drivers and download new ones from www.nvidia.com.
