    Oh, it may well be network-related...most BSODs are caused by corrupted files, followed closely by bad drivers or incorrect driver settings, and then applications - very few apps nowadays are able to actually cause a BSOD.

    If you've saved a DMP file you will need Symbols to view them in a debugger, but that's not going to help you now. Download the Microsoft utility uptime.exe and run it on your PC with the /S switch... If you have a BSOD error, the Stop code will be viewable there.

    In the Event Viewer look for a System entry: "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck." It will also give you an idea of what is going wrong.

    The fact that it is not logging the BSOD in the usual places is a little troubling; check this reg key:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\CrashControl]
    Value Name: LogEvent
    Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
    Value Data: 1 (enabled)

    Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

      Notepad of course.

      Did you filter the log? View -> Filter -> Event soucre: Save Dump
