How to Scan for Corrupt or Out-of-Date Drivers
Driver corruption is a common cause of blue-screen errors. Drivers that are too old can cause problems as well, usually affecting compatibility or performance. Keep your system updated through Windows Update, or by manually downloading from the manufacturer. If no updates are available, you're stuck with whatever drivers you have, although re-installing them from the Device Manager should help.
1
Run Windows Update to let the operating system scan and update your drivers automatically. "Optional Updates" are listed below the recommended ones and this is where you'll find drivers. Click beside each driver to select it and click "OK" to confirm. Alternatively, launch the Device Manager from the Start menu and right-click the outdated driver. Select "Update Driver Software."
2
Use Chkdsk to fix errors in the file system. In Windows 7, the Graphical User Interface is called "Disk Checker," found by right-clicking the drive in My Computer and clicking "Properties," "Tools." If a virus is preventing the Disk Checker from running, restart the computer and tap "F8" to run "Safe Mode with Command Prompt." Type "chkdsk /f" in the commands window and press "Enter."
3
Re-install the current drivers to replace them with clean copies. Open the Control Panel and click "Hardware and Sound." Click "Device Manager" and click to expand the problematic driver. Right-click on it and select "Uninstall." Wait while Windows removes the files; then click the "Action" menu at the top of the screen. Click "Scan for Hardware Changes" and Windows re-installs fresh copies of the drivers.
4
Enable Driver Verifier to help you identify problematic drivers. Click "Start" and type "Run" into the search box. Press "Enter" and type "www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar" Choose "Create Custom Settings" and click "Next." Click the radio button where it says "Select Individual Settings from a Full List," and enable each option except for "Low Resources Simulation." Choose the "Select Driver Names from a List" option, and click "Provider" to sort the results. Place a check by all non-Microsoft drivers and click "Finish."

Tips
- Windows Update does not always have an updated driver for your system. Check the manufacturer's support page for compatible drivers.
