A laptop of mine (HP DV9000) is suffering from a recurrent BSOD on startup caused by that one file, a driver for the graphics card which is a Nvidia Geforce Go 7600.
A complete uninstall of the driver doesn't work, the most recent is a legacy driver from early 2009, release 179. So far the only thing that makes the error go away is completely disabling the graphics card in device manager and/or starting in safe mode.
I have had no success in replacing the culprit file following online guides as command prompt won't allow me to do it for various reasons.
I know that a cycling forum isn't likely the best place for advice on this matter but it is this or going through repair stores or using HP's customer advice when the laptop is two years out of warranty.
Thanks all.
