Solved BSOD happens all the time.

[mickey81]

First off, apologies if this thread is wrong & for what ever info i've missed off. New to this forum.
I've had this BSOD since i bought my laptop 2 year ago. It's a sony vaio f12 (Custom built VPCF12C5E)
It's on Win 7 Home Premium 64bit. I will include a Picture of the full spec(not sure if needed) =

The BSOD happens whenever it wants. The laptop can just be sat, powered on, with no open programs or anything and it will happen. It can happen if i am just browsing the web or watching a movie.
Here is the Full crash dump Zip, done with the SF Diagnostic Tool.

Funny you should say that, the Wi-Fi Constantly Drops(since day one of purchase-i change the Wi-Fi card a while ago & did a Factory restore). I have to disable the connection & Enable to get it back on. (Sorry i missed this out)

I'm at this page( http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword="Intel+5100+wifi+"# ) and have chosen 64bit, it gives me 16 results to choose from. Not sure witch is correct. Or will any one do.

Quick Update

Just wanted to leave a short update. Laptop seems ok 'for the minute'. Hopefully it has resolved my 2 year problem & i will no longer need to sell it on eBay. Will leave another post some time in the week.

I usually get the BSOD when this happens(just happened now) But there was no BSOD. Not sure if it's linked but thought i'd post it. The link is to my twitter account so it is safe to click it - https://twitter.com/Mickey_Lovell/status/246955990908538880

Wanted to post this(happened just now). I usually get this screen freeze and buzzing noise when the BSOD happens. But there was no BSOD. The link will take you to Twitter(it's a safe link) https://twitter.com/Mickey_Lovell/status/246955990908538880
(Not sure if this has anything at all to do with my issue of BSOD & Wi-Fi dropping. They have been ok so far) Had to pull the power lead out, it restarted ok.

*Update - All seems ok. Will leave the thread until Monday Night and if everything stays the same I'll Mark as Solved.
"THANKS TO EVERYONE" You've saved me from selling my laptop and losing out on a small fortune.
