Re: Blue screen of death after vista x64 windows updates

Hi,

To start with, there is free support for issues with updates here:
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/ph/6527#tab0[/url]

Just go straight to the contact link at upper right. Troubleshooting usually
revolves around removing recently installed updates or rolling back driver
updates. More involved steps would include exact text of the blue screen
error, and analyzing the dump file created.

That said, I have seen some reporting similar issues, but not a huge glut of
them. I would suspect that it likely applies to a certain piece of hardware
or supporting driver. Personally, I've seen no issue with any update and my
x64 systems.
