This might help.

Use Start - Run and enter VERIFIER in the dialog box.
Choose the "Create Standard Settings" option and click on Next
Choose the "Automatically select unsigned drivers" option and click on
Next
Click on Finish and then shut down and restart the computer.

You will (hopefully) be presented with a new "Blue Screen Of Death"
STOP error message that will identify the specific driver and the
exact problem involved.

Note: You will have to reboot into Safe Mode or into "last known good
configuration" if you get the BSOD when running Verifier.

Good luck
