Whats on this laptop made by National Instruments Corporation?
I don't know, this is a school laptop, so there is alot of pre-installed software. Should I be un-installing it?
I've had the laptop since the start of 2013, and that software has been there the entire time. The BSOD's only started about a month ago, if that makes any difference.
Is it possible that the BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER error could be caused by something purely physical? What I mean by that is it isn't something with drivers or something like that, but actually caused by external damage to the laptop?
Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge, it must be irritating trying to help someone who has no idea about anything. Thanks.
Windows 7 is fully updated according to 'Windows Update'.
The crashes don't seem to be when doing anything particular.I hadn't had a crash for two days, then last night I got 2 crashes in 10 minutes (10PM), then today I got a crash at 5PM. It seems to just happen anytime when I'm using the laptop (like when I'm typing this, it could just BSOD randomly).
Download not add to download, the 3 under chipset.. The ST Microelectrics one and the USB 3 driver.
Then we'll see how it goes
I downloaded one didnt have to validate my email
I think you misunderstood my earlier post. There are 8 entries under chipsets, you told me to download 3. I downloaded and installed the following 2 that you just specified:
-ST Microelectronics Free Fall Data Protection Driver
-Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver
