Windows 7 Home Premium Crashes When Idle
Hi, I have a laptop here that keeps crashing when it idles or goes to sleep.
I've tried disabling sleep and hybrid sleep mode.
What I've also tried is setting Windows 7 to use a screen saver instead of sleep mode. The problem is, it goes to screen saver, after a certain period of time the laptop just freezes/crashes. I can't seem to wake it, even by moving the mouse so that it'll resume from the screen saver and take me back to the login screen.
Sometimes it just freezes/crashes when idle and reboots itself, when it reboots and we log back in it reports with a blue screen error.
Here's the error
