My Computer keeps getting a Blue Screen error:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 7a
BCP1: C0415E10
BCP2: C000000E
BCP3: 2C2D3860
BCP4: 82BC2F7E
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 768_1
and other times it is locking up, and I will have to force a shutdown then restart my computer.
I have recently upgraded (clean install) from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium. The blue screen error started the next day after I did the upgrade (approx 1/10/17), then the locking up started about 5 days ago (approx 2/3/17). I went to the HP driver updates and downloaded all of the available updates and installed them with the exception of the following which would not update (error codes listed):
sp40913 - Motherboard BIOS Update (Ver 5-14) Error Code: 9998
sp52418 - Motherboard (M2N68-LA) Bios Upgrade (Ver 6-14) Error Code: 253
sp44455 - HP Recovery Manager Application Update Error Code: 259
sp54931 - HP Support Assistant Application Update Error Code: 1602
I had to update the motherboard when I as using Windows Vista, but cannot get an update to install for Windows 7. Also, HP update is telling me that all my drivers and software is up to date.
I have seen in a Windows forum that others are having the blue screen error and they suggested updating Nvidia which I have done with no change to my problem.
If there is anything that anyone could suggest I would greatly appriciate it.
Thank You

Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.
I understand that you have an HP Pavilion a6683w Desktop PC and the since the time it is upgraded to Win7, there is a blue screen error.You have tried to update the drivers and few drivers posted by you did not get installed. I appreciate the steps you have performed and have certainly done a good job.
I would like to know the following information to assist you better:
- Is there a particular STOP error code like 0x00, etc. or something like this on the blue screen?
- Does the blue screen appear while you're using a specific application or does it appear randomly?
- Is the PC running slow and how often does the blue screen error come up?
Meanwhile, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:
- Please run the hardware test on the hard drive and memory.
- If the tests pass then run the Automated Troubleshooter in Win7.
I sincerely hope this fixes the issue. Let me know what happens. Cheers! 🙂

I appreciate your reply, however, I have tryed both. The drive and memory test passed, and the troubleshooter found no problems. I'm stumpted as to what else it could be. I ran a full test of all my hardware and they all passed.

You're welcome and thanks for trying the suggested steps. 🙂
As the hardware tests passed, this is purely an operating system issue. I would like to know if you receive a STOP error code at the blue screen. Also, did you try the Automated Troubleshooter as suggested in my previous post?
Let em know. I'll guide you further. Thanks again!

Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate you taking your valuable time to troubleshoot.
If it is the genuine Win7 operating system disk then you may try to repair the operating system using that disk.
- Boot the computer using the Win7 disk.
- Please follow the onscreen instructions to continue with the repair.
If Windows cannot be repaired then you may try to reinstall it.
Hope this helps. Let me know.
