Q: MBP Early 2011 Intel HD 3000 Driver Issues

Hi I have been trying to install Windows 7/8.1/10 on my MacBook Pro Early 2011 15" model. I get no problems while installing windows. But I get a BSOD while the bootcamp support software package is installing the Intel graphics driver with the error: "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED(igdkmd64.sys)" and then the system reboots.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011)

Please install W7 and test. W10 is not supported by Apple on your Mac model.

Are you using a USB Installer? If yes, it is not supported. Please use a retail physical DVD and follow the steps in Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support .

Can you verify from the Bootcamp.xml on the USB media containing the drivers, that you are using Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 drivers?

Remove Windows using BC Assistant, install Windows using a physical DVD and BIOS/MBR and then install these drivers. Do you get any errors during the installation? Your screen shot is not a W7 driver error.

Do not use EFI Boot. If you have been switching back and forth between W7 and W10 installations, please run

Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

before the next W7 installation attempt.

Also check if you have a Microsoft directory in your EFI partition. Please see Re: Can't resize Macintosh HD partition for reference on how to check? If there is a Microsoft directory, you will need to back up OSX, erase the internal disk and restore OSX and then retry the W7 installation.
