Im trying to fix a friends dell inspiron 1150 laptop.
70% of the time it connects to the internet (I think just as it gets the ip address) the bsod pops up. You can use the laptop for days without trying to connect it to the net and theres no other problems at all. If you start it up cold/hot whatever wired or wireless it will bsod after it connects. Its moody, sometimes it works fine. Others it will bsod within 30 sec of connecting.
FYI - This laptop has a minipci wi card installed (there were no drivers installed for this initially but its working now.) He had a network card installed too (using this for his wireless) but I dont see anything linksys to uninstall. Its not in the laptop now, not sure if this matters or not.
Ive searched all day and havent found anything useful or even close to what its experiencing. I downloaded debugging tools but dont know my **** from my elbow in there.
Thanks in advance
