Unexpected Shutdown...what!

Okay, so I locked my computer and went upstairs for dinner, after watching some tv shows I came back 2 hours later to find the computer had restarted!

So after logging in a message comes up saying:

It can't be good, it could either be a one off or it could be a bad problem with your hardware or drivers. What you should do is download WinDBG from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx

Then install it and goto File > Open Crash Dump > Browse to and open "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini031509-01.dmp" then post it here.

So much easier to find out why a BSOD happened unlike on a Mac. JOKE. JESUS. DON'T FLAME ME LOL.

Tells me that your Wireless driver is fubared. I would go and check for a driver update from the manufacturer's website if I was you.

Hur?

http://www.tp-link.com/support/download.asp?a=1&m=TL-WN620G Use those, never rely on what Windows can find.

[Verrou]

That's where I downloaded them from, went into Device Manager and clicked update drivers from selected location.

[Recursion]

Ahh ok, you'll have to wait until they release some new updates then... it may have just been a one of though.

[Verrou]

Should I uninstall the current ones and install these?

[Verrou]

Can not edit post.

To make matters worse, I go to turn on my computer today, it starts and then a screen comes up saying windows failed to start, so I did the repairs and restarted, same thing. So I removed the TP-Link wifi adapter and rebooted, sure enough it booted fine. So what's wrong with the adapter? Is it corrupt or something...

[Recursion]

I would get a new one, to be fair I have never heard of the company that makes it before LOL

same, I'd also recommend the Belkin ;D, it was the first (for me) that worked flawlessly on Vista xD

[Verrou]

Yeah my friend is always nagging me to get a belkin One lol. Thanks.
