BLuescreens the day before a LAN day - not useful!

[mat777]

When I've had bluescreens before on my pc they've usually had a pretty obvious cause (ie running an unstable program) but I've just had a bluescreen when surfing PH on chrome, rebooted, had the same again, then had 2 more when trying to reboot a third time. I've just booted into a safe mode and run whocrashed, and it is returning the following for the 4 crashes today - does anyone have an idea of the problem? Thanks!



Computer is a Compal NBLB2 laptop custom build, running a an Intel core I7 Q820 with an ATI mobility Radeon HD5650 (I think) graphics card. The computer is 2 years old and runs Windows 7 64-bit.
Oddly enough, both Catalys Control Centre and AMD's driver autodetect/update application are refusing to acknowledge I have a graphics card so I cant say for sure which one I have. I'm not sure if this is due to running in safe mode or if it is a warning sign of what is causing the bluescreens?

Edited to actually post the crash log!!!

The graphics card would be my first suspect. Have you had updated the graphics card drivers recently?

No, I've not touched any drivers for months which is what I dont get. Also as said, for some reasont he driver autodetect widget is refusing to work (most oddly), I'll reboot into normal mode and try again but I have a feeling it will just bluescreen again.

here goes...

Depending on how technical you are, you could download Debugging Tools for Windows which can read .dmp files.

Or BlueScreenView

Hi guys,

thanks for the advice. I rebooted into normal mode, went to download the debugger and suddenly the computer started behaving itself again. I dont know what booting into safe mode fixed, but there have been no more bluescreens so far (fingers crossed)

Sadly experience tells me that it will reappear.
