[davegee8989]

Hi
im having random bsod's,sometimes not for days then 3-4 in an hour.
its a gateway laptop running xp 32 but service pack 3.
radeon x700 gfx 2gb memory.
it can do it when playing games or just browsing the net.

can anyone advise me with the mini dumps?

many thanks
dave

All errors are 0xA and these are caused by either hardware or faulty drivers attempting to address an IRQ Level address higher than they are desugned for.

Basically your dumps only cited Windows OS drivers which are too general to be of muct help.

However one driver that did stand out is b57xp32.sys is a Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet NIC driver.

Go to Gatway's website, find your exact model and update the drivers from there.

Yes: b57xp32.sys is a Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet NIC driver.
