So it basically posts its diagnostics of the problem in the form of blue screen. Most of the time the diagnostic is pretty technical and it doesn’t make sense to a normal computer user. A technical person can typically analyze the system logs to find out what is causing the problem & if it needs just a software fix or if it is due to a faulty or failing hardware component. If the computer is unable to read properly from the boot device or some recent change in its configuration has caused a driver to

Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly in windows 7


Sometime windows 7 hardware devices are not working properly.cause of some windows update problem or corrupt files.so you need some update driver for devices working properly.If you have a hardware device that isn't working properly with your computer, you probably need an updated driver. There are three ways to update a driver:
Use Windows Update. You might need to set Windows Update to automatically download and install recommended updates.
Install software from the device manufacturer. For example, if your device came with a disc, that disc might contain software that installs a driver for the device.
Download and update the driver yourself. Use this method to install a driver that you download from the manufacturer's website. Do this if Windows Update can't find a driver for your device and the device didn't come with software that installs a driver.

To update drivers using Windows Update

You can check Windows Update anytime to see if it has found updated drivers for your hardware, especially if you recently installed a new device. Then, you can install the updated drivers. Here's how:
Click to open Windows Update.‌
In the left pane, click Check for updates.

If there are any available updates, click the links to see more information about each update. Windows Update tells you if an update is important, recommended, or optional. Each type of update might include drivers. For more information, see Understanding Windows automatic updating.
On the Select the updates you want to install page, look for updates for your hardware devices, select the check box for each driver that you want to install, and then click OK.

There might not be any available driver updates.
On the Windows Update page, click Install updates If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation..

Notes
Some updates require you to restart your computer.
Windows Update will tell you if the updates were successfully installed.

To set Windows to install recommended updates

To get all available driver updates for your hardware, set Windows to install recommended updates. You can set Windows to automatically install important and recommended updates or important updates only. Optional updates aren't downloaded or installed automatically. To get all available updates for your devices, periodically check Windows Update for optional updates. For more information, see Understanding Windows automatic updating.
Click to open Windows Update.
In the left pane, click Change settings.
Under Important updates, click an item in the list.

You can decide which updates to automatically download and install.
Under Recommended updates, select the Give me recommended update the same way I receive important updates check box, and click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

You can also allow anyone using your computer to install updates by selecting the Allow all users to install updates on this computer check box.

To download and update a driver yourself

It's best to let Windows install device drivers automatically. But if Windows can't find a driver for your device, and the device didn't come with driver software, you can look for a driver on the device manufacturer's website. Driver updates are often available in the support section of such sites.

Once you find the updated driver, follow the installation instructions on the website. Most drivers are self-installing—after you download them, you usually just double-click the file to begin the installation, and then the driver installs itself on you computer.

Some devices have drivers that you need to install yourself. If you download a driver that isn't self-installing, follow these steps:

You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.
Click to open Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.‌
In the list of hardware categories, find the device that you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Notes
Printer information is not included in Device Manager. To see if a printer is installed or to manually update printer drivers, open Devices and Printers. For more information, see Install a printer.
To find out if your hardware (or hardware you plan to buy) is compatible with this version of Windows, go to the Windows Compatibility Center website. This website contains a comprehensive list of devices that have been tested to work with this version of Windows.

How to Start Windows 7 from a CD or DVD

Start Windows from a CD or DVD

You might need to start Windows from the installation CD or DVD if:
You want to install or reinstall Windows.
You want to recover Windows from a serious error.

To start Windows from a CD or DVD
Turn on your computer, insert the Windows installation CD or DVD, and then restart your computer.
Press any key when prompted to do so, and then follow any instructions that appear.
When the Install Windows page appears, click Install now to begin the installation process or click Repair your computer to access system recovery options.
Follow the instructions.

Change the boot order in BIOS so the CD, DVD, or BD drive is listed first. Some computers are already configured this way but many are not.

If the optical drive is not first in the boot order, your PC will start "normally" (i.e. boot from your hard drive) without even looking at what might be in your disc drive.

Note: After setting your optical drive as the first boot device in BIOS, your computer will check that drive for a bootable disc each time your computer starts. Leaving your PC configured this way shouldn't cause problems unless you plan on leaving a disc in the drive all the time.

Insert your bootable CD, DVD, or BD in your disc drive.

How do you know if a disc is bootable? The easiest way to find out if a disc is bootable is to insert it in your drive and follow the remainder of these instructions. Most operating system setup CDs and DVDs are bootable, as are many advanced diagnostic tools like the ones I discussed above.

Note: Programs downloadable from the Internet that are intended to be bootable discs are usually made available in ISO format. See How To Burn an ISO File for more information.

Restart your computer.

Watch for a Press any key to boot from CD or DVD... message.

When booting to a Windows setup disc, and some other bootable discs as well, you may be prompted with a message to press a key to boot to the disc. To boot from the disc, you'll need to press any key on your keyboard (like the space bar) within the few seconds that the message is on the screen.
If you do nothing, your computer will check for boot information on the next boot device in the list in BIOS (see Step 1) which will probably be your hard drive.

Some bootable discs do not prompt for a key press and will start immediately.

Your computer should now boot from the CD, DVD, or BD disc.

Note: What happens now depends on what the bootable disc was for. If you're booting to a Windows 7 DVD, the Windows 7 setup program will begin. If you're booting to aSlackware Live CD, the version of the Slackware Linux operating system you've included on the CD will run. You get the idea.

If you tried the above steps but your computer did not boot from the disc properly, check out some of the tips below.

If the Install Windows page does not appear

If the Install Windows page does not appear and you aren't asked to press a key to start (or "boot") from CD or DVD, you might have to specify that your computer use its CD or DVD drive as the first startup device. To do this, you need to change settings in the computer's basic input/output system (BIOS).

Warning
Be careful when changing BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it's possible to change a setting that could prevent your computer from starting correctly.
Turn on your computer, insert the Windows installation disc, and then restart your computer.
Newer computers often display a startup (or boot) menu. On the startup menu, select "BIOS setup," or "BIOS settings," or something similar.

Procedures vary depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Usually, you must press a key (such as F2, F12, Delete, Esc) or a key combination immediately after you turn on your computer but before Windows starts. For more information, check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.
The BIOS setup screen appears. On the BIOS setup screen, select the option called "Boot order," or something similar.
Select your CD or DVD drive as the first startup device, save the setting changes, and then exit the BIOS.

Restart your computer, and then start Windows from the installation CD or DVD as previously described.
