Fixing a startup driver error

Are there any yellow exclamation points in the device manager?

Yes quite a few to be honest.. I will let you know what they are once I get home from work tonight. Thanks for the help so far.

You're welcome. We will have to "fix" those yellow exclamation points

So in the device manager the was one exclamation point for an old 56k modem. I tried to update the driver and it was unsuccessful. I then tried to go online and search for a driver via name of the modem and the computer BSOD'ed on me.. NOOOOO. So now I thought that we may have had everything fixed but alas we did not.
Under network adapters :
isatap.{9e298896-CA27-4494-8D76-DF4C5B537147}

The other netword adapter is Realtek RTL8168C/8111C, but that is working properly.. Now I'm not sure if that was the cause of the crash or not, so I disabled it. Here is the error in event log:

Is that old 56k modem still installed? If so, remove it
"Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP)" This has to do with a network adapter, suggesting that the network driver isn't working, installed or configured properly
"The other network adapter is Realtek RTL8168C/8111C, but that is working properly"... How many network adapters are installed? You can post minidump files by going to C:\windows\minidump. Minidump files have a .dmp extension. Select all the .dmp files and right-click sending the files to a compressed(zipped)folder. Upload that folder as a file here

It has both of those drivers for Network Adapters in the Device Manager. I disabled the "isatap" being that it had a yellow exclamation point. the computer did BSOD afterwards though. There are no files in the Minidump folder to upload. witch I find quit odd.

"I disabled the "isatap" being that it had a yellow exclamation point"... If you delete it, will it return after a reboot?

"C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini102212-01.dmp" This means that you have at least 1 minidump file named Mini102212-01.dmp

I deleted the driver after I unistalled the 56k modem. It did not return after the restart. I will search for the file a little more in depth. That folder shows no files, but I know there is minidump files.

Are all the yellow exclamation points gone now? Get into the Control Panel, System, Advanced System Settings. Select Start up and Recovery, Settings. Un-check automatically restart, and select small minidump (256k). While you are there, un-check time to display list of operating systems, and set time to display recovery options when needed to 5 seconds. This will speed up boot times a bit, and it may clear up the minidump issue

Yes the yellow Exclamation points are now gone after I uninstalled the network driver.. It never reinstalled itself afterwards. I did what you said and changed the start-up and recovery options. It did make it a little faster. There is only one OS on the computer anyway. I haven't seen a BSOD since I uninstalled the other network driver. But like I said earlier, It would BSOD on me maybe twice a week. Is there any other tests I can run in order check and see if everything is working properly?

Are you still using Microsoft Security Essentials? If so, you should be good. Just run the temp file cleaner twice a week, letting it restart your computer

Ok will do. I let the pc restart many tines since fixing the driver and haven't had any BSOD's yet. Thanks for your help. To think it was something simple as a driver......

Okay, good luck...
