installed some hp drivers for a printer.

However I'd put my money here.
HP software is absolutely terrible.
People moan at MS, compain about Creative Labs and shout about NVidia.
These companies are god-like compared to the horrible software HP thrown at you.
It's just a shame as their hardware is usually quite good - you just have to hope that there is a generic driver or a "driver only" package available because the rest of the stuff....

Try uninstalling all the HP software and see how you go.
However I've seen plenty of systems where you just cannot get rid of the HP software and you may be stuck with it.

ipnat.sys is something to do with the firewall. Are you just relying on the window firewall at the moment?

If it is always blue screening with ipnat.sys you could try turning off the windows firewall and trying another alternative, zone alarm perhaps.

Take the firewall off and uninstall those HP drivers then see if it happens again?

will do. Is the firewall that is built in the router (sky's netgear modem) good enough to use alone, so i dont need one on the laptop?

Well, if I was you, I would just use another firewall. First let's see if it fixes your problem, then we'll talk firewalls.

Another blue screen error, can anyone make heads or tails of this?

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NOPAGED_AREA

Seems like this laptop id riddled with errors!

Sounds like a Ram Problem, take out the upgrade and see if it resolved it.

Nope, that error still points at a driver issue.

The bug check error means that a kernal mode driver is referencing a pointer which cannot be translated from a virtual to physical address.

Update all of your drivers and see what happens.
