Hello there,
I appear to be having a problem with a certain driver on my PC that causes BSODs. I have found that the BSODs happen when I enable my wireless adapter and connect to my network over wifi (im in Student accommodation), but they dont when it is disabled and I use an ethernet cable.
Back in October, it has caused 5 BSODs in 3 days so I had decided to just disable it and use the cable.
Now, however, my PS3 keeps disconnecting from the wifi (Student accommodation, eh..) so I need the cable for it, but I was only given 1 slot for 1 wired device in the room.
I have tried uninstalling the wireless adapter drivers completely and use the disc provided with the hardware, as after a little of googling I have found that the drivers that Microsoft automatically downloads usually cause problems. So everything was fine... for about 2 days when an hour ago I got a BSOD caused by the same driver: athryx.sys.
So either the drivers that came with the hardware are faulty, or Windows installed the same ones again automatically. Anyway, if anyone would have a suggestion what to do in this case, I would be grateful. Here is my system:
M/B: ASUS P7P55D-E PRO
PSU: Corsair TX850M (850 watts)
CPU: Intel Core i5-760 2.8Ghz (not overclocked)
RAM: GSkill Ripjaws 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Graphics card: EAH4850 (The ATI Radeon HD4850, but produced by ASUS)
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
The wireless card I have is a TP-Link 450MBps Wireless N Dual Band PCI Express card. Model: TL-WDN4800.
And I have also attached a screenshot of the minidump file summary using BlueScreenView
EDIT:
Just got another BSOD but this time caused by something else: rdpencdd.sys
I am attaching another screenshot here.
I think im just gonna have to do a clean install?
