Hi,

i've just recently been getting BSODs and I can't seem to identify the problem. I haven't installed anything new (to my knowledge) other than the new windows live messenger, which i then deleted and reinstalled to an older version. As I have no knowledge about dump files, can anyone tell me what to do with them?

Thanks a lot in advance.

it just happened again. first one restarted my laptop, the second one occured while it was trying to restart. Any help is deeply appreciated.

All five minidumps point to the faulty driver w22n51.sys which is part of your Intel PRO/Wireless driver.

You are the second person in as many days that have had issues with this driver. Go to you laptop's manufacturer's website, find your specific model and update your drivers.

You're welcome and thanks for getting back to us. Do us a favor and report back later if either a) you have gained stability through this updating or b) if you don't and we'll take it from there.
