VGX-XL100 Windows 7 - Blue Screen of Death

[morti]

Hi

I'm trying to upgrade my XL100 to windows 7, I'm not upgrading any hardware just the operating system from a clean install.

Unfortunately i'm getting the dreaded Blue Screen when performing almost any windows update or loading a new game (LEgo Batman) any ideas whould be appreciated?

I'm tempted to go back to XP

It intresting that Win7 is causing you issues. Win7 is well tested by the community and a very popular choice. I've not own a VGX-XL for a while maybe a Microsoft update to Wins7 is causing issue. But let's not rule out possible hardware issues.

What spec is your system? Please update your system specs to speed up and improve advice.

If your system is all original it could be the aging graphics card, they are a known cause of BSOD. That doesn't explain why you didn't suffer from BSOD in XP though.

Try running some temperature tests to see if your overheating, it could be a simple case of dust in your system and fans.
