BSOD - is it drivers?

[baaablacksheep]

I have an HP compaq pro 6300 MT, win 7 64-bit that is getting BSOD's during the startup process. It will start, begin configuring updates, fail, start reverting then itll toss the bluescreen. Im wondering if its driver related and if so, could someone possibly point at which component is causing it? Here is the info on it:

Hello... Avoid any hardware updates from Microsoft... A typical windows 7 Sp1 install will not need any updates... Not all updates may be needed for your hardware and OS, for your PC needs.

1) If a re-install is impossible... you will need "safe mode" or Windows manual boot device control skills.
2) Pickup a small black Friday ssd/hd and install new OS on it for further testing with your hardware... and keeping your existing files/data intact.

This PC was already wiped about 3-6 months ago with similar issues. I dont think reinstalling the OS is the right answer. Im going to try and update all of the drivers while in safe mode but if anyone know what component it may be based on the BSOD info that would really be a huge time saver... Thank you for answering tho!

Hello... it's the " NT Kernel & System "... the OS it self... not a driver/hardware reported error.
