Resolved odd BSOD when wireless in on

this is an old laptop that i inherited from my sis, it was very slow and was giving me quite some trouble (BSOD on WIFI was one of them), so i used the Toshiba restore CDs to have a fresh start.

Toshiba Satellite M30 Specs, with one difference we upgraded it to 1GB RAM but that was done at Toshiba.

i downloaded all the Windows updates, AVG free edition, Firefox and spy ware blaster, flash and Java so i spent a whole week end connected wirelessly and i had no problem what so ever, but when i took it to my apartment after 20 maybe 30 minutes of being connected (wifi again) i got a BSOD, so computer reboots as soon as windows loads an other crash so i turn off wifi and this time it loads normally.

below are the crash reports i found on the machine:

no recollection of 1st crash
PS, been testing wifi for a couple of days (at my parents house) and the PC has no problem its like the crash only happens at my place.

 

no need to check this, i forgot to update the drivers after restore.

apparently the BSOD s a know issue with old driver

 

Good you got it sorted. If it is resolved, don't forget to mark it so. It saves people that might want to offer a suggestion know that they won't have to read through it all.

If you have any tips for how to find the information it might help others.

 

thx Matt,
i just wanted to test @ my appartment before closing this thread.

well it always helps to google your problem with as much detail as possible.

so in my case: intel pro wireless 2200bg bsod

 

Cool
