Hi and welcome

easy one these were caused by your network driver NETw5s64.sys. You need to download a fresh copy and install it.

Let us know if you need help

hi,
thnx zigzag for your input
but i am going to need a bigger favor from you
i am a computer illiterate, so i have no idea what a network driver is and how to update it
so could you please guide me step by step as to what i should do

Go here and select your model: Service & Support

Then download the latest LAN and Wireless drivers.

You can also go to Device Management (type devmgmt.msc into the start menu), right-click on your card, and select Update Driver Software.

sure are you 32bit or 64??

64-bit

hey there,
so i went to the support site, got the driver, but since i am a computer illiterate
could you please guide me how do i update the driver, after unzipping the downloaded file, there are two folders one s32 other s64, in the s64 folder are the following
dpinst64(application)
iProDifX.dll
iProDifX(application)
NETw5v64
NETw5v64
NETw5v64.sys

could you please tell me wht the heck am i supposed to do, the blue screen thingy stopped for almost 2 days, but happened again tonight

From the looks of it I suspect the dlinst64 is the installer. Try double clicking on it.

Let us know if that isnt it.
