Windows 7: Lenovo t500 BSOD Kernel-power issues (windows7 x64)

My system is crashing daily to critical kernel-power issue.

I have Windows 7 x64 professional installed on a Lenovo T500. The only hardware I've customized is replacing the 160 GB drive with a 500 GB drive and put 2GB more memory. Im using discrete graphic only mode (it uses only ati 3650).

The system specs are

Lenovo T500 (2082-53G)
Core 2 Duo P8600 @ 2.4 Ghz
4 GB RAM
ATI Mobile Radeon 3650
Intel Wifi 5300 agn
bluetooth, and WWAN

I am running the latest BIOS: v3.13-1.06.
And also the latest drivers from lenovo and so on.

My laptop has been running fine until now. I have checked memory with memtest86 and memtest86+ and it passed the test. HD is tested also and it is good.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Initially I would have suspected memory and even though you have run memtest86 this is no guarantee it isn't memory , to quote since windows 95 Microsoft have stated about memory testing programs however your crash BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2) is often caused by drivers which have an invalid memory reference in them somewhere ?

named as the faulting module in your crash is which is your intel network driver and needs updating ?

also these drivers mostly pre-dating windows 7 release are out of date and need updating ?


ssport.sys is a Port Contention Driver from Samsung Electronics
mdmxsdk.sys - Conexant Modem Diagnostic Interface DRIVER which if not in use should be unninstalled and disabled in your bios ?
Tppwr64v.sys - Lenovo TrackPoint driver
rimspx64.sys ricoh card dreader
rixdpx64.sys ricoh card dreader
rimmpx64.sys ricoh card dreader
smiifx64.sys - SMI Driver for Lenovo system
psadd.sys - lenovo SMI driver
e1y60x64.sys - Intel Gigabit Network Connection NDIS 6 deserialized driver
000.fcl is possibly a CyberLink FCL Driver or My Book Device Driver by Cyberlink Corp

most of those drivers can be found by going to lenovo support and downloading the most current versions ?

also can you tell us what antivirus and or third party firewall you are using ?

let us know how it goes

I have updated all the drivers from here Lenovo Support & downloads - Drivers and software - ThinkPad T500, W500. I have avira antivir 10 personal installed and no third party firewall installed (only windows7's own). I will wait and see if that wlan driver fixed it. Fingers crossed...

quick work let's hope this solves it
