I have a Gateway p7805u. For several months I was experiencing severe BSODs which were of the "a timing interval was not received by a secondary processor variety". At some point I managed to get it stable enough that these crashes were rare as long as I was plugged into AC power. On battery, it would crash in 5 minutes or less, usually less.
So this week, I tired of not being able to use my laptop on battery. I updated the video driver to the latest nvidia offering. The crashes came back, and in force. Gateway support had me do a factory restore. That did not help, and now I am at square one.
At present, I get both the "timing interval" blue screen, and a new one -- "unrecoverable hardware error". It's mostly stable in safe mode, though I do get some crashes there. In regular mode, it often won't make it past the log in screen before crashing.
I don't believe temperatures are the cause, though they may be a factor. I had HW monitor running at one point and temps were not exceeding 60C.
As of now I have a fancy door stop. Hopefully it can be a laptop again soon, even if I can't use it on battery I would be ok with it.
