Hello,

I have a toshiba satellite 2415-s205. for a long time now I have been getting the blue screen. I was told it was my bios. I am not sure how to fix this and need some assistance. If anyone can give me some guidance, that would be greatlty appreciated.
Thanks

What is the exact error message?

For the future change this setting to freze the error message:

rt. click My Computer then click Properties then Advanced then Startup and Recovery Settings then unclick Automatically restart

Also: look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for X errors. Click error line for details.
Post back the source & event id & Description especially of errors that seem to coincide with this issue.
Also check the Information lines that might coincide with this issue.

How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP


Also view your Error Log via:
[1] Start Menu
[2] Help and Support
[3] Pick a Task
[4] Tools
[5] Advanced System Information
[6] View the Error Log



Also if you want to try and analyze the XP errors:

Go to start | search (type in) .dmp
Note the location of your .dmp files.

Then:

1) Download and install the
Debugging Tools from Microsoft
2) Download and install this
debugwiz
3) Open the Wiz & Browse to, or paste in the path to, your .dmp file.
4) After the Wiz creates a Text document attach it back to this thread.

I went into the events and found this:

So i am not sure what is this mean. If you need more information, please let me know.

Your Blue Screen errors would be the most informative. They will appear similar to: Error code 000000d1, parameter1 00000b43, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 f830f2b4. Hopefully they will also point out the faulting module.

Most of the above errors are on ipnathlp which is related to your network card and or IP configuration. The 000000d1 is suggesting a driver problem.

Event ID's and or error codes might pinpoint this but again if you are getting actual Blue Screen crashes those would be the most informative.

Plus dump .dmp logs.

Again all those errors you posted are related to your NIC card.

If you are wireless try going wired to see if you have the same problems.

Other general ideas are to uninstall and the reinstall your NIC and reset the settings.

Another possibility is a mal functioning firewall.
