When Browsing Laptop doing mini dumps

When I am browsing the internet my laptop does a mini dump and reboots.

I get a bsod but it goes by so quick I can't read it.

Anyone got any idea? I have a Toshiba Satellite.

Thanks for any ideas to help.

By the way which model ?? I seen a few common problems with a model we have in the office that had something to do with XP and Power drivers but usually a in place repair fixed them okay but to see what the error is do this:
Goto my computer right click do properties then Advance tab
Then click on the bottom "settings" in the Startup and Recovery
Uncheck the box that says Automatically restart this will atleast allow you to see the BSOD and then can google it or goto Microsoft and do a search on it there.
Hope that helps some...

Figured it out I think.

I bought a new netgear 108mbps wireless card and was running the little utility that came with it. I fixed it so the utility would not load at boot up and so far no crashes.

I think it was using memory that IE wanted and so IE made the dump and reboot.

Have run it for several hours without a dump.

Thanx for all the ideas.
