Upgraded nforce drivers = blue screen on boot
In a stroke of genius, I decided to upgrade my perfectly working motherboard drivers (nForce) to the latest ones 15.17, from nvidia. Now whenever I boot I get a blue screen. The text goes along the lines of run a sys diag utility, disable or remove any newly installed hardware etc.
The stop xode is 0x0000007. I went into safe mode and uninstalled the drivers, used drivercleaner to remove whatever traces were left, and installed the old driver, but the result is the same. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Try going into Safe Mode and using System Restore to go back to a few days before.

JSanguancheu,

System restore was disabled a while back. I did not want the possibility of spyware getting trapped in there. Any other tips?

Thanks,
Mark

Alright, I have found the problem. My hard drives are listed as IDE now instead of RAID/SATA. How do I force them back onto the raid/sata controller?

There should be an option somewhere in the BIOS. Not being familiar with your's, I couldn't tell you exactly where the option might be.

would a cmos reset work? if so look on ya mobo and look for 2 jumper pins that say "clr cmos" i usually use a flat screwdriver to jump them, hold them for a couple of secs and that will reset everything.
im not sure if this will work as the last time i did this and "only time i have done this" i had the pc turned on and i dont want you electrocuting yourself so let someone else reply before trying this!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone, thanks for all the replies. It seems the driver update installed the drives as ide. I removed said IDE driver, leaving only the original raid driver. Now I cant even get into safe mode. I am just going to reinstall. Thanks anyways.
