    Hey, everyone -- for months now, my P7010D keeps shutting me down -- first I get the dreaded blue screen, telling me "a problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer." Then after I re-boot, I get an error message that tells me my computer "has recovered from a serious error." Reason it lists is "unknown device driver."

    Several people have looked at my notebook and see no conflict for any device driver. Help! Anyone else have this experience, and/or any advice?!
    Thanks!!

    Have you tried re-installing the windows? A program might have messed it up

    Check your specs and see what is missing. May be a 1394, usb 2.0, modem, card slots .... if you installed the Chip set for your MB. Also check your bios settings make sure everything is correct.

    After your clean install of Windows, did you add any additional software/hardware? Have you installed and beta software or drivers? Did you use the recovery driver CD's supplied from Fujitsu?

    Retrace your steps and find when the error staring showing up. Did it show up right after you installed Windows or after an installtion of hardware or software?
