Since installing the Widcomm bluetooth stack and plugging my bluetooth USB dongle in I have been having problems with this "Blue Screen Of Death" that for no apparent reason with no warning suddenly shuts down the PC with a blue screen with white writing on it saying that Windows encountered a serious error and has shut down to avoid damage.

This has to be a hardware issue and not a software issue, as it always mentioned a piece of hardwareis not working or something to that effect and I get this message in on the screen

IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_EQUAL

I think it HAS to be the actual BT dongle itself. Cos I had this happen only when the dongle is plugged in, both this recent installation time and last year when I tried it. Both times it was with different software the only thing that is the same is the dongle itself.

Any idea's before I wipe the fucking thing and reformat the machine? Is it worth spending money on another BT dongle that might not cuase conflict with the PC and cuse this BSOD? If so, which one and how do I know it won't just have the same internals as the one I have, just in different packaging?

Cos it's pissing me off now, cos it happens with no warning and anything I haven't saved just gets lost
