what other programs did you install BEFORE LW, and you have to ask yourself which of them were warez...

this error message is very commonly associated with an overheating CPU or bad RAM...it could also be your power supply starting to go south..it may even be that you are not fully updated on your OS (or possibly you are trying out SP3 which is still in beta)...might even be your NIC card...

are you able to write down and post the exact error message, you know something like:
STOP: 0x0000000A (0x0000015a, 0x0000001c, 0x00000000, 0x80116bf4)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

but...after reading your post again you say its a driver issue....have you installed the latest drivers for all of your hardware?...and as a last thought, when you did the new install did you load the chipset drivers for your motherboard? (this should be done immediately after booting into the fresh OS for the first time)
