Possibly driver-related BSoDs
Hi
I'm new here and have a nasty BSoD problem going on. I've been searching for days for threads or info to help out but nothing's quite worked out.
I've so far managed to narrow it down (I THINK) to a driver in my Atheros WLAN card. A recurring theme in my BSoDs seems to be athrx.sys so I've tried to update it. The problem is that I can't get it to update.
When I find the new drivers from the manufacturer's website and then replace the old athrx.sys with the new athrx.sys it tells me the file isn't digitally signed. It's also weird that I seem to have to manually install it too since the driver comes in a zip file and just dumps all these weird files everywhere instead of doing anything helpful.
I guess I'm asking: If I'm right that it's this driver causing the BSoD then how do I install the new driver?
I would attach the minidump files but it says I need to be an administrator... I am the administrator but hey, what the hell...
