Hi

I received my laptop 2 days ago and I just got a blue screen whilst playing a game and the computer restarted

I've looked at the crash info:

I have the Memory.DMP file but have no idea what to do with it or how to open / examine it

I was wondering if anyone could help with this?

What devices have you connected ie keyboard, mouse etc? Anything via USB really.
I have connected a wireless mouse, and a cooling pad which is connected via USB

One thing that I did earlier when we were trying to sort out my headset mic problem, I downloaded the highlighted .zip and executed the setup.exe and installed it. Do you think this could be an issue, and if so do you know how I can remove it.

It's impossible to say.

Just to verify, are your nvidia drivers up to date?

Yeah I just checked & they are up to date.

I've worked out how to remove what I installed earlier, so I have done that.

I'm going to wait and see if it happens again so I know whether that was what caused the issue or not, if it happens again I'll let you know.

Thank you for your help, sorry I really need to get some sleep as I have work in the morning!!

Do you have a Logitech mouse by any chance? Kbdclass.sys (which is what's failing) is a mouse/keyboard driver. Windows contains its own version of the driver but Logitech keyboards and mice (mouses?) provide their own drivers and they have a long history of being buggy.

Either check that your Logitech mouse driver is up to date or uninstall the Logitech driver completely and just use the Windows version - the mouse will still work although you won't be able to configure buttons and the like.

Actually it could be any external mouse that provides its own driver....

Hi Ubuysa

I just have a regular wireless mouse, nothing special. It's not logitech though, it is "Jelly Comb" brand (basically just a mouse I found laying around).

In device manager this is what is under 'Mice and other pointing devices':

Do you think I should be uninstalling one of those? I'm not sure if the mouse has drivers or not (i doubt it does though)

As a temporary measure, stop using that mouse, right-click on the PS/2 Compatible Mouse entry and select Uninstall. If it asks whether you want to uninstall the driver click Yes. The mouse may not be fully Windows 10 compliant and may not play nicely with the Windows drivers (my external mouse shows up as a HID-compliant mouse for example)..

I appreciate that means you'll be stuck with the touchpad for a while but try the game again (without the mouse) and see whether you can make it BSOD. If you can't then it's likely that mouse was the problem. I would buy a decent mouse, Logitech kit is good hardware wise, just don't install any of their software. :)
