    Yet Another BSOD problem.


    Hello

    I get a lot of random BSOD nowadays on my 3 year old laptop. Usually I can pinpoint the BSODs myself, but this time it's beyond my comprehension. Tried several reformats, all drivers update (at least when I last reformatted), different versions of Win 7, also both x86 and x64. BIOS is updated. No viruses or infections. Tested RAM for 24 hours using Memtest, also tested GPU ram. And I have no way of provoking a BSOD, completly random, sometimes when I close the explorer windows, somtimes when I play a game, another times it's just when the computer is idle at the desktop. Temps are also fine.

    Guess my computer is dying, but hope some of you guys can help. Also I'm a techie, so no need to go easy on me. However debugging isn't my strength

    Now running Win 7 x64 SP1 HP. About 14 days old. 5 BSODs and counting.

    Virtually identical and Related to NETwNs64.sys Wireless WiFi Link Driver from Intel Corporation. I would re-install newest driver.

    Already tried that.


    I too suspected the wireless driver to be the cause of the problems, but with so many reformats and several different versions of the Intel driver I don't think so anymore. Still got BSODs.

    EDIT: More BSODs

    I am afraid it is still being blamed. Might not be the driver, may be the device itself. If it is external can you try it on another computer?

    Seems like the problem is gone now, will return in a couple of days.

    EDIT: Swaped WIFI card with MOM's computer that used a realtek card. Now neither of us experience BSODs. :s
