So people, I have just had my first BSOD in Windows 7. It started when my notebook got to a black screen after the boot animation, and there was absolutely no hard drive activity. Being the impatient person I am, I did a hard shut down, and rebooted it into Windows 7. Upon the start up animation, I got a BSOD. The details were:
NO_MORE_IRP_LOCATIONS
And the stop error was 0x0000035.
Rebooted into Windows 7 again, but this time I pressed F8 and launched Startup Repair, which at this point seems to have fixed it. But now, boot time is slower than it was before the incident, and the hard drive is constantly going mad, for absolutely no reason.
My question is, should I leave it, and potentially run the risk of getting it again? Or should I reformat?
BTW, at this point, Vista is the most stable OS I have ever used. I am very disappointed.

Looks like it's probably a driver issue. Have you updated drivers recently? Check your chipset and USB drivers... you might try rolling back those if they've been updated.

I haven't updated my drivers for a long time...

do a bios reset to defaults. Make sure your bios is at the current/most recent level.
If that doesn't work, pull all but one memory stick and anything else 'removeable' (optical drive, etc). Disconnect everything USB.
An 0x35 BSOB is a driver conflict. -
And it's fixed now, if it happens again I'll do what you said. -
No, a BIOS reset won't change your dual-boot. The booting selection happens after the BIOS is done and hands control off to the boot loader.
