Random BSOD Windows 7

Hello Tmagic650.

I haven't had a BSOD in the last 4 weeks...Removing KIS 2012 + the tv card seems to have solved the problem. I'll reinstall the tv card soon to see if I remain BSOD free.

Thank for your help.
 
Hard to say... KIS and other programs that disable the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender can cause Windows instability with Vista and Windows 7 now
 
The driver for the TV card is from a company called TBS ...The card is the TBS 8920.
When you install the driver....Windows 7 x64 pops up a message saying something about the driver not being digitally signed...giving you 2 options(this is from memory)....the 1st option is to continue and the 2nd option is to abandon the installation. Maybe this driver caused KIS to act up?

You should always make sure the driver is the latest for the OS you are running. With Windows 7, I have never seen this "not digitally signed" driver problem, although it is common with XP. Are you saying, this is the only driver you can find? It may not be compatible with Windows 7 at all

From what I can tell, it's a x64 (64-bit) driver issue. Win7 x64 needs WHQL drivers, which are digitally signed. Security reasons.
To the OP: There is a way to circumvent this, but I wouldn't recommend it. Troublesome for one, for you have to repeat the procedure at each boot, and second, it's worthless. Just get the latest drivers for your system from the manufacturer's website using the "auto-search drivers for me" feature they usually have.
 
Hello again.

I have now installed the TV card...with the latest driver from the TBS driver page.
While installing the driver I got the message (image below)...I clicked the 2nd option and the driver appeared to install successfully.
The TV card + Windows media centre are working correctly....So I'll just wait and see if another BSOD occurs.




Thanks again for all help provided.
 
Hello

1st BSOD since 24th March 2012.
The TV tuner card was reinstalled on 24th April 2012
At the time of the crash...I was changing channels on Windows Media centre.


Had a look in the event viewer and it reported this problem at the time of crash.
