    I have a problem when I leave my computer on overnight sometimes I wake up to the logon screen and when I login it says Windows has recovered from a serious error and it only tells me it was a "Blue Screen" and not what actually caused it. Here is my most recent minidump file uploaded. Can someone please take a look at it and tell me what may be causing this to occur?

    The BSOD is being caused due to a faulty driver.

    Do you have the Intel Wifi Link 5300 AGN ?

    In Device Manager, check which driver version you have got.

    I have the Intel 4965AGN card with driver version 12.0.0.82 which is dated 7/8/2008. Do you think if I change the power management settings to not allow windows to turn off this device it will stop my BSOD issues?

    See if you can rollback to the previous version.

    You can disable/uncheck that power mngt feature in the driver properties, and see if it improves anything.

    And use Bittorrent for a change, and see if you get another BSOD.

    Andy why did you ask if he was using a 5300? I have vista x64 and a m1530 w/ a 5300 and am having lots of bluescreens from it :(

    I guess it had something to do with the driver there. All the N-series modules use the same driver....
    You can upload a minidump as well.
