    Assuming you are talking about the machine in your signature with Vista 64 (guessing, but since you have 4gb of ram) the problem seems to be netw5v64.sys

    Wireless driver, looks like.

    What is the wireless adapter you use and what is the driver version.

    EDIT: Ok, I updated my drivers to 12.4.3.9. Hopefully it wont happen again. :D

    Thanks for your help. :) +25 rep

    Where'd you get that driver?

    I have 12.4.1.4 and it has been very stable. I tried a later one--cannot recall which one, and it resulted in a lot of drops so I rolled back to this one.

    That minidump won't open in Visual studio 2008. Resend / PM for email? I've had a BSOD from the same DLL once so I'm interested.

    Not being a programmer, I wasn't even aware you could read a minidump in visual studio...but now that I think about it, that makes perfect sense.

    If you like here is the complete log of the crash analysis

    What can I say, I'm small cranium hardware guy.

    Riddle me this--which is more dangerous: a hardware guy with a compiler or a programmer with a screwdriver?

    :D

    Hmm, why is that picture broken? Opening it in a new tab works.
