Default Laptop power being cut on Windows XP

Ok so I have a laptop that's set up to dual boot Vista and XP and I usually always use Vista but sometimes have to use XP for certain programs. Well, whenever I'm on XP I have a problem where the power to the laptop will randomly cut out and the whole computer will be off completely in an instant. The thing is, it only happens with XP for some reason. The battery is fine, the cable is fine. It's something software-related, but what could it be?

Hi Rory,

In the dumps you have submitted, it seems that the Intel Wireless card driver on your laptop (NETw3v32.sys) is causing an issue. Try updating your chipset, and if different, your wireless card drivers.
