Thanks Nev, i checked the device manager and there were bout 10 errors against various ISATAP adaptors...i'm not sure where these have come from or what they are for? My atheros wifi driver is working fine, obviously i can get online ok in safemode. I disabled all these ISATAP drivers but still froze after bout 5 mins. sam:mad:

I have had an ongoing issue with my laptop for a few months now. it will boot up and run fine for 10-15 mins and then freezes and I have to restart it with the power button. I am running on vista and it will run fine in safemode with networking, which is how i'm surviving at the moment..lol. I have tried defragging, error check, virus and malware check, even system restore to before this was happening, etc...all the obvious tools, but it is still freezing! The computer guy in the shop said its probably a driver problem but I want to try to fix this myself before I have to pay out for someone else to do it as I'm pretty good at sorting out computer issues...but this has me stumped. I dont have a vista disk to wipe the drive and start from scratch and this is really a last resort. Can anyone help? :confused:
