    I recently purchased an x205-Sli, and installed XP Pro on it. With a couple major headaches... but I finally got it working pretty well. Well last night I was going through and making sure I had all the proper updated drivers and whenever I rebooted I get a blue screen of death with this stop message:

    0x0000007E, 0xC0000005, 0xBAD13348, 0xBAD13044

    So I go in Safe Mode.
    I did some searching on google and best I could determine was that it's a driver incompatibility issue. And indeed when I check Device Manager the following Devices have drivers missing:
    3D Video Controller
    Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
    Biometric Coprocessor

    I figure I'll just remove some of the drivers I just installed and try to get them fresh. I did, and then I was able to boot into windows normally.
    Ok so this is where it gets annoying.

    I can't do a system restore.. as for some reason the XP slipstream install disc I managed to make didn't include it.. I have no option for system restore anywhere.
    I went to Intel, and Toshiba, and yes Nvidia. Downloaded all the right chipset drivers and such. I try to install the Intel Chipset Graphics Driver software and I get this error:
    "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
    Setup will now exit."

    I get a similar error whenever I try to install nvidia forceware drivers.

    Someone please help.. why can I not install graphics drivers? What is going on here? I can install the chipset driver, memory controllers, etc all fine. I can't find any information about this anywhere.

    It doesn't help my case any that laptopvideo2go is still down.

    If ANYONE can shed some light on this situation I would love you forever, this is extremely frustrating.
    If you could send me drivers my email is [email protected]

    I think you need your nVidia drivers with moded INF file and Biometric Coprocessor is the fingerprint reader, but BSOD is cosed by the video driver i think so get on that first
