    Hey guys, I'm kinda new to this forum, but I have a problem with my computer and it'd be great if anyone could help.

    Twice now, I've gotten blue screen errors.
    Here are screenshots of the error, it's always the same

    The first time was when I tried to open my winamp player, I was able to open it a few times, and then suddenly one day the blue screen appeared when I attempted to open winamp.
    I redid this just to check, and the same thing happened again and again, I ended up switching to itunes.


    The same problem jsut happened, when i opened the view wireless networks window,
    and tried to connect to a new router that I just bought.
    I tried this again 2 more timse with the same result

    anyone know what's up?
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    you either have corrupt software ro bad hardware.

    run orthos.(google it)
    if it crashes immediately then you have a hardware issue. if it seemingly runs in perpetuity then it's a software issue most likely just reinstall Windows and the appropriate drivers.

    Sorry, looks like I didn't read it fully.

    Well I googled for lsipnds.sys it brought up this. It seems to have something to do with networking. Other results from google showed the same thing. So, it might be the wireless network adaptor.

    Too short. Run it for at least an hour. Longer the better.

    Download a program called Memtest86+ 1.70. Download the bootable ISO image and burn it to cd. Wack it in your cd drive and restart your pc. Boot from the CD and leave the test running until test 6. If it gives errors your RAM is faulty.

    definately the ideal, ideal though if you're lazy an hour of orthos on "blend" would probably suffice as far as general stability goes. also he probably doesn't know how to do such(burn ISO, boot run memtest etc.)
