I notice most seeing this are on a wireless laptop, but Im on a FIC AM35 & I've had My box in the same state for over a year or so without incident except 1 Driver Issue which caused a Game I was trying to play to launch straight to a black screen & when I hit the windows key I was promptly returned to My desktop so I removed the nVidia driver via add & remove then via DriverCleanerPro in safemode & installed the sugjested v41.40 which indeed remedied the Game issue.So other than that My box stayed unchanged untill 1 month ago when I swapped out My 80gb Seagate"Slave" & put a new WD 250GB SATA & a PCI Adapter Card but still no issues at all,then about 1 week ago I swapped out My 2 Optical drives for a new Lite on DVD+RW(DVDBurner) & still no problems.The best I recall this all started when I followed the steps outlined in a word Doc named Guide to burning PERFECT DVD movie copies it listed some software to use "DVD Decrypter, CopyToDVD & DVD2one"
I installed each one & the Bsod followed shortly thereafter. So I got the M$ Debugging Tools & read the 5 Dmps they pointed to nv4_mini.sys / tcpip.sys / videoprt.sys/ win32k.sys/ nv4_disp.dll
Here I am with all these Bsod's & Dmp's & I cant really think straight & My mind goes to the nVida Driver & the Black Screen Gamming Issue after all at this point other than file tcpip.sys the Dmp files says that "nv4_disp.dll / nv4_mini.sys / videoprt.sys" are the offending files. So I remove the nVidia driver in add & remove & used the driver removal tool in safemode & reboot to Windows then I canceled out at the prompt to instal a driver for the Videocard & got rid of all the video related Bsod's only now Im getting a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Bsod pointing at tcpip.sys & then ipnat.sys & I read that a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Bsod is caused by a buggy device driver.Another fact is that I have found a way to eliminate all the (tcpip & ipnat Bsod's) & that is to not to run limewire at all !!! Yes as odd as it sounds each and every one of My Bsod's occured when running limewire & allways aprox 3 hours after launching LW for instance I could open windows & let it run for 6 hours without incident but as soon as I launch LW aprox 1hr later I would see a crawl in the trasmission of data both outgoing & incomming & that would go on for another 1.5hrs & shortly after that I would see a Bsod pointing to ipnat.sys
I think that the driver listed at this link here > PxHelp20.sys Windows process - What is it?
is the culprit as it speaks of a boot/reboot loop caused by phelp20.sys and once I installed phelp20.sys onto My PC via DVD2one I think it set off the Bsods Issues I am seeing now. I know some will say Bad RAM or PSU but I have being doing some testing of My own & I can tell You this!! The PSU Calculator Power Supply Calculator - Journey Systems. LLC.

Says My box in its current state draws 239Watts from a Sparkle FSP 300-60 ATV
Ive read that should be good enough http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...size=10&Page=2
Besides when I unplug everything like DVD+RW & Floppy & SATA Drive then launch LW I still get the "inat.sys Bsod" so its not PSU also Ive been running My Box today with all pariferals plugged in & 3 Movies Playing with Nod32 & AVG anti-spyware Guards running in the background while surffing the web with 6 pages open w/a 100%CPU Load @44 °C according to PCWiz for the last 23 hrs & not a peep. Any Ideas how Ican fix this mess ?
