Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
All the services that you mention are the way you suggest but i still get Event 7001 in the Event Viewer and my expensive HP (Windows 7 64 bit 16- hundred euros) entertainment laptop has been rendered worthless due to random Freezes costing me hundred of lost hours and emotional agitation.
I have checked the memory for integrity, made all latest windows Updates, checked for viruses, updated all my devices in Device manager, Clean/Unclean booted, Safe/unsafe mode no god damn luck. My laptop even freezes in safe mode. I am about to through it off the window unless you save it the last minute.

I do not think one is an upgrade for the other. I may be mistaken.
My suggestion updates this driver:
Driver Name : nvBridge.kmd
File Type : Display Driver
Description : NVIDIA Compatible Windows Vista Kernel Mode Driver, Version 186.44
Version : 8.15.11.8644
Company : NVIDIA Corporation

You are referring to this driver:
Driver Name : nvlddmkm.sys

went ahead and installed it.
Checking inDevice Manager -> Display adapters -> NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M driver
the Driver Version has been downgraded to version 8.17.12.6099 of 16/10/2010
while i had version 9.18.13.3158 of 15/10/2013
also running windows update, now, produces 2 optional updates to the graphics adapter
i am curious why HP hasn't updated their site yet. I might keep it for a while see what happens.
Meanwhile, do you have any good ideas about why i get these errors.........?

Actually, installing this driver was a bad choice because now i can't log in to my computer.
Safe mode freezes
Normal mode freezes
Startup repair freezes
Booting from Windows Repair Disk freezes
i am out of options...
I write this text from my daughter's computer.....
I am pretty sure that the problem lies with windows 7 64-bit CORE drivers.
Seems to me that 64-bits is not as mature as 32-bits....
I wonder if Microsoft or HP will refund me for trashing this pc
