XP crashes while in cmd usally durning telnet session???

Hello,
I am comtinually having this issue,
it seems that My XP Pro laptop (Sony PCG-TR5GP) crashes (Blue Screen of death) and restarts
everytime I go into the cmd and use telnet. Now it doesn't happen right away or even all the time.
But it continually happens. I have many applications running and I use this computer for work.
If anyone could think of why this is happening???
Thanks

thanks for driverhq thats great and it might fix my problem
but 29.99 a year???
I know it is expensive (so is Experts Exchange!).

But I have found the latest drivers on that site for several computers and any problem I had with faulty drivers usually vanish after I have updated them.

The only other way is to find the manufacturer, find their website, find the driver you need etc etc.

In the end it was only a suggestion.
