Recently updated an HP Laptop DV6648se to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit from Vista 32 bit. Never had a problem with Vista in this computer - never had a BSOD. Replaced the hard drive and did a clean install. After returning to college, it seemed the wireless card started to cause BSOD, based on several BSOD's related to nwifi.sys, so I updated the wireless card driver from version 12.x.x.x to 13.0.0.127 from Intel's web site. Wireless card is Intel Pro/wireless 3945 abg. Seemed stable for a while, then, it starts again - more BSOD's. Having about one to six BSOD a day - very inconvenient. If the wireless driver is turned off, no BSOD. I've attached a minidump, and it points to ntkrnlmp.exe now. Any help in would be appreciated.

I've been searching the forum and noticed that Zone Alarm firewall causes BSOD. I'm using that. Will remove and see if BSOD ends.

Removed Zone Alarm. BSOD stopped. Looks like Zone Alarm is the culprit.
