there may be more there than a driver, best to try their uninstall options first
Alrighty, i'll do that.

Do you read what I type? I told you it is likely for the onboard graphics so yes go ahead and try install. It's been over a week - u should have tried every driver it offered by now.
BTW, I don't even bother reading your DMPs any more - until u update drivers it's a waste of my time
Any driver installed on your system can be an issue if it's out-dated. How many still show up in Device Doctor?
Once you have actually updated the drivers they should disappear from the list. Perhaps you only downloaded the drivers but haven't gotten them installed.
I think at this point, if it is still BSODing that you may need to consider taking it to a computer repair shop because I don't know what else to suggest. Sorry.
The problem with a fresh install is that your drivers will be as old as your DVD of W7, even if that is SP1 you are talking almost 2 years. Once you get online windows update will offer some but you will still not have all the latest drivers.
I haven't used Device doctor 2 and I can see it is a bit different, it doesn't try to install the drivers for you any more, you just download and save them to a folder. And yes many options it shows are actually just stemming off a single update (for mine I see 3 USB items listed that are the same driver, and 2 other USB items & a printer item that are yet another common driver, plus 5 bluetooth devices that are all the same driver).
I'm going to do some testing on my machine and see if I can come up with some ideas. Do you still have all the drivers you downloaded? Some are ZIP files and some in EXE, right? Did you expand the zip files?
No I haven't ruled out drivers, I don't think you got most of them installed.
You are still lost, you're just not alone so it isn't quite as bad!
Yeah I just got one that said it was older too, and you are correct, you don't install those.
