intelppm.sys is the driver for the intel processor, also see processor.sys

If your computer worked without sp3 and intelppm.sys, then why would anyone classify this driver as essential. I also found it in driver cache i/386.

it gives my windows 7/vista loop reboot or BSOD sometimes and in xp it gives sudden shutdown without warning. I meant no shut down at all. The laptop just off suddenly.
