I have a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4645 e-All in One printer. So to use it I'd downloaded a Basic Driver from the HP official site http://support.hp.com/in-en/product/HP-Deskjet-Ink-Advantage-4640-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/530504... . But when I tried to install it, I was getting a message that "File is corrupted". So I deleted that Driver. And after some time my laptop is shutting down frequently on its own with a blue screen error message. I also restored my laptop to a earlier time point but it has no effect on this error.I am inserting the image of that blue screen with the error message,so please see it.
I'll be very grateful if you can find a solution for that.
