    Ok, first step I have uninstalled the Dlink adapater from Device manager. Then I had a bit of a facepalm moment as I realised in doing so I was unable to use the actual installer to uninstall the software. I've therefore deleted the files held within, including the infamous AirNCFG.exe which no longer loads on boot.

    I have done a windows search for anodlwfx.sys and it can no longer be found. I have also disabled anything from dlink in msconfig in the startup section. This includes WZCSKDR2.exe, which is according to my research something to do with dlink. I have not however deleted the files just in case.

    I am now running on a wired connection to the router, though the missus is incredibly unhappy with this situation so I don't know how long it will last.

    For good measure, and I don't know if this will be of any use or entirely superfluous, I have redone my initial reports for you. See attached.

    I guess we'll see how things run for a while. If I find it to be something as simple as this I will hit the roof! Then I'll be happy and drink beer.

    Thanks again for all your help. I will keep you posted. Please let me know if there's anything else you want me to do.

    You are certainly welcome and I hope the solution is this simple. :)

    Now that everything is running smoothly, create a restore point or a system image or both. Reinstall your D-Link adapter without the configuration program and let Windows configure it. Be sure to change the startup files. You may find it necessary to physically remove the adapter, reboot, shutdown, put the adapter back in, and install from scratch.

    I am very interested to know if this solves the problem. Please let us know.

    Ok Carl - will do. I think what I may do is run this on the cable for a little while longer. No BSOD's yet, but it's early days. If I can get a good amount of time stable I will do exactly as you say. I will let Windows Update install the necessary drivers. I will certainly be back to give feedback!

    Looking forward to a good report without BSOD's attached. :) When you reinstall the adapter, let windows configure the wireless settings; don't install the configuration tool.

    Will do. I will plug it in, let it install, reenable all of the msconfig files I disabled for startup, reboot and carry on. System Restore point first, of course!

    And another, this one while trying to install .net 4.0.

    Edit: High frequency BSODs now!!! Argh!

    Gents,

    Unfortunately BSOD's are now so frequent the PC is completely unusable. I am going to be forced to completely format and start again. I am now getting Bugcheck 50, 3B and 109 every couple of minutes.

    To be quite honest I am really quite downhearted about the situation, I'm half tempted to break up the PC and sell the components.

    Does anyone know a reputable, experienced technician or company in the London area of the UK who could diagnose and fix my errors? The professionals I have so far hired have not been equal to the task, much like myself.

    Thank you all for your help so far. I will be back once formatted - which might be best as we can start on a completely clean system.

    Pete

    Hi Reventon,

    I haven't had a chance to run Prime/Memtest since reinstall - unfortunately a lot of work has come up and I've needed the PC for other things. However, I did run IntelBurnTest - which failed. I was advised this tested CPU and RAM?



    If you think I should still run the tests I can do memtest this evening and run prime overnight?
    The above test uses a different test method to Prime95 (both are valid).

    I would re-run the BurnInTest and if you get the same result take it to a local technician who is willing to put a working CPU in it for testing purposes.

    Of course - if it's not the CPU that's faulty, the next most likely component is your motherboard.

    Don't know any good technicians in London sorry!

    Good luck

    Hi Reventon,

    Thanks for the response. I have just reformatted completely and have taken the following actions:

    1. Installed Windows 7
    2. Let Windows Update get my Graphics Drivers and the default security updates it does on first boot
    3. Updated the ATK0110 file from the Asus Website
    4. Running on a wired connection - no Dlink adapter
    5. Run the reports suggested by this forum
    6. Additionally I have upped the voltage of the RAM in the BIOS from the default to 1.64V (DRAM Bus). BIOS was previously flashed to latest version.
    7. As you can see the BIOS default the RAM to a slower speed than their spec - I have 1600 RAM. I assume this would not be an issue?
    8. I have taken screenshots of CPU-Z
    9. I have provided a SIW report and WinAudit in addition to your standard requests. These are in the attached zip file.
    10. Attached 2 BSOD crash dumps that have already occured.
    Before I can take this to a technician I want to at least get the basics of this system correct. As you can see from the reports, and my below Device Manager screenshot a couple of devices do not yet have drivers. Where is the correct place to download them from?

    ATK0110 Driver at present


    Device Manager at present


    CPU-Z Screenshots







    I realise I'm being a royal pain in the butt here, but I really don't know what else I can do. It seems you guys are my only hope.

    Thank you all again for your extended time.
