BSOD Troubleshooting

PatchProtector

I’ve been getting BSODs on my Windows 7 system that reference hidclass.sys, and I’m not sure what’s triggering them. I’ve updated my drivers, but the errors still occur sporadically. Could this be related to a specific peripheral device or a corrupt driver installation? Has anyone else experienced similar issues with hidclass.sys on Windows 7, and if so, what troubleshooting steps worked for you? I’m wondering if there’s a known conflict or if it might be a hardware issue. Any insights or suggestions on further diagnostics would be appreciated.

I ran into similar issues a while back and found that disconnecting USB peripherals one at a time helped isolate the problem. It’s not uncommon for a malfunctioning device or even a faulty cable to trigger these kinds of crashes. Beyond that, a thorough sfc /scannow can sometimes reveal any underlying system corruptions. I’ve also seen cases where firmware updates for certain devices made a difference. Worth a shot if you haven’t already tried these steps.
