Laptop or desktop ? ?
The error is connected to a Realtek WLAN adapter driver issue...

I meant to say that its a DESKTOP that I'm referring to. Sorry for the lapse on my part...

The bsod report you posted shows just one BSOD. If that's the case, ignore it. If you've gotten THE SAME bsod multiple times, have you recently changed or updated any drivers? Is there any external equipment connected to the system?

[WesleyR]

I've recently needed to install a Driver to allow for WiFi connectivity...and thus I've also inserted the WiFi adaptor. Dunno if that's causing the issues. The PC has had a bsod issue twice, and today it wouldn't boot up properly...and then requested that I do a system restore.

[WesleyR]

Any tips on how to address the issue ? I installed the driver directly from the CD which came with the device...

[patio]

I'd start by checking Device Manager for any yellow !!'s...
Those indicate missing/corrupt drivers.
Replace any from the MBoard manuf. site...
Re-boot after...
