BSOD - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (nfsrdr.sys)
For some reason, my laptop has been acting up recently. About 3 days ago, I attempted to install the Java 7 Update 11 (x64) on my laptop. After shutting my computer down and then starting it the following day, I logged in to my user and, after 10-15 minutes, a BSOD appeared. I then decided to restart my computer, and, just like before, a BSOD appeared that said:
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (nfsrdr.sys)
Afterwards, I restarted my PC again and decided to restart my PC on Advanced Start-up via PC settings and access System Restore. I was able to do that and, for about a few hours, that worked.
However, I foolishly decided to use hybrid boot again (I switched it off before because my computer was not implementing updates properly) and after restarting and clicking the lock screen, I had a hanging “Please Wait…” notice and it would loop back to the lock screen and, when I clicked the lock screen, I got “Please Wait…” again. Sometimes I was able to see my account on the screen and, when I got the chance, I accessed my account removed hybrid boot and everything went back to normal… temporarily.
Today, I got the same BSOD even though I haven’t installed anything and, upon restarting, the same stuck “Please Wait” loop that I thought I fixed even though I don’t have hybrid boot on. I was able to fix the latter problem by unchecking Hibernate and Standby in the Power Menu before restarting my computer. In fact, I thought Hibernate and Standby were the problems so I checked them again and restarted my computer, but everything was normal and I was able to log into my account without a hassle.
All I know is both issues have something to do with the nfsrdr.sys file in System32. Hence I followed the instructions on the BSOD and Crashing Thread tutorial and attached a compressed set of files from the SF Diagnostic Tool.
One more thing: I believe that this same problem also has to do with the inability of the Windows troubleshooter to repair Windows Update problems. I have troubleshot Windows Update several times and got the same responses for the errors (shown in the screenshot below) supposedly fixed. I think it’s something to look at.
