Bootcamp Windows 7 BSOD

[odevine]

Hello!

I have been running Windows 7 on my 27" iMac for a few months now, and everything has been running very well. Unfortunately though, after relocating my computer desk and subsequently my computer, on startup I get a BSOD. NOrmally this wouldn't be a problem due to me still having the Mac side, but when I restarted again, I am unable to use the option key to pick which OS I want to startup in (Yes I have tried several different keyboards, but none work). I have also tried running Windows in Safe mode, but the BSOD prevents me from doing that as well.

Well, I'm not having that exact BSOD, but I'm definitely experiencing a BSOD during bootup in Windows 7. This is with a client's 2011 MacBook Pro 15" 2.3GHz i7.

I was wondering if it was due to the new Patriot 16GB (2 x 8GB) RAM I installed. The RAM is Mac specific, but the laptop had been running Windows 7 32-bit just fine for 3 years, until last week I installed the new RAM, a 512GB Crucial M4 SSD, and reinstalled the OS at 64-bit Win 7 Pro.

Did you install new RAM in your iMac?

Edit: Forgot to mention that the blue screen there is not the BSOD I was getting - it's Memtest hanging and not getting beyond 1 second of testing. Weird thing, though, I can go through 5 hours of Memtest when booting into single-user mode in OSX 10.8.5...

Unplug every usb device you have bar the keyboard and mouse and try and make sure that they go in the same ports as before. That bsod description is a generic one but usually related to USB driver types, you have to analyse the dmp file to deduce which driver is causing the problem. Apps like blue screen view for windows can tell you.

I won't ever have no wired apple USB keyboard left in my house cos of problems like this!
