Answer» OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (original)
Manufacturer: Dell
Model: Inspiron 15r (N5010)
RAM: 6GB
CPU: Intel i5 M460 2.53 GHz
RAM: 6GB
Video card: Intel HD Graphics
Sound card: IDT High Definition Audio
HD: Intel 5 series 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller, 500 GB
Ethernet: Realtek RTL8103T Ethernet Controller
Wireless card: Mini WLAN half size DW1501 Wireless-N/Broadcom VIRTUAL Wireless Adapter
Antivirus: McAfee (before formatting), Avira Antivir (after formatting)
Firewall: Zonealarm
Problem: BSOD only when connecting to a specific, unprotected wireless network in a matter of minutes (may vary between 1 minute to 15 minutes).
What I have tried: Before formatting: tried some free registry correctors and restoring system. After formatting, I updated the BIOS, and reinstalled/updated the following drivers: chipset, video, sata, ethernet and wlan. Minidump files from 3 BSODs are attached.
Safe mode with network: no BSOD so far (it has been 1 hour since I connected to the wifi network).
What says the BSOD: "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer"
3rd BSOD STOP code: 0x0000007F (0X0000000000000008, 0x0000000080050031, 0X00000000000006F8, 0xFFFFF80002A8C798)
5th and last BSOD: 0x0000007F (0X0000000000000008, 0x0000000080050031, 0X00000000000006F8, 0xFFFFF80002A3A798)
Description: For 2 months since I got this laptop I had no problems using wired and wifi networks. But just when I BROUGHT my laptop to mom's place, where I will be living for 2 months, I'm getting
BSOD everytime I try to connect to the wifi network here. The last 2 BSODs occurred 1 minute after I connected to the wifi network, but the OTHERS time varied.
When my wifi adapter is on, but not connected to any network, everything works fine. I get no BSOD or any other errors.
Before formatting, and after the firsts BSODs I've got a file called mfewfpk.sys corrupted, that seems to be related to McAfee antivirus. No viruses were detected by it and Malware Bytes Antimalware.
As I couldn't find any solution, I formatted everything, but the problem still occurs.
Other laptops and computers connected to the wifi network, each with different OS (like the one I'm using, which is WinXP Home Edition SP2), work fine.
What should I do now?

It's the network from my mom's place. It's a private network, but has no password.My problem is solved. It was ZoneAlarm's fault.
I first tried some hotfixes. It seemed to work for a while, but when I updated ZoneAlarm, the BSODs started to flash again.
As I couldn't stay much on the net without getting a BSOD to install the 4th hotfix and then the SP1, I uninstalled the firewall. Since then, I've got no BSODs (couple hours ago). Nevertheless, I INSTALLED SP1 and changed my firewall to Comodo. The antivirus is still Avira, but I intend to change back to McAfee, as I acquired an year license.
Thank you very much!Good job
