Hi Guys,
I'm a pretty new here but I try to help people out with BSOD and Crash Dump Analysis. I'm by no means an expert but am getting better slowly and know enough to get by.
What I don't know is how to advise people on how to remove drivers that are possibly buggy and could be responsible for causing a BSOD. I advise trying to remove the driver via the control panel/un-install first but often times the program associated with the driver is not available and therefore can't be un-installed the correct way. What is then the correct action to take?, I sometimes advise renaming the driver to filename.bak but some people say that could result in system to stop booting. Is it just a matter of experience and judgement call in knowing which drivers you can an cannot do this to?
Any information on this would be appreciated...
-cheers
