Windows 7: BSOD daily while downloading.

I am running windows 7 Home edition 64bit. Full retail version.
Computer is self built so parts of of different ages. Oldest is motherboard which is two years old.
OS installed about 18 months ago.



Description of problem. for the past 2 months, (which roughly co-incides change of ISP to one which increased my download speeds from 5.4 max usually far less to 14.2 steady) my PC will get a BSOD every day usually around 5-10 after starting downloading anything. This includes updating podcasts on itunes. The BSOD only happens once and then PC is stable for rest of period it is switched on for.

I have recent change of cooler which is a more powerful one but had no change to BSOD frequency. I have 4gb ram on board which I have tested separately with memtest but again this showed no errors.

I have had to attach a rar file rather than zip as zip kept giving error message. If this is not OK will I keep trying with zip

Hi Ridgeman,

Please follow these posting instructions and post back with the results:

How big is it?

neither can I and it should be there. trying again.

Are you using a wireless adapter the drivers for it may need to be updated for it.

Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\athrxusb.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athrxusb.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athrxusb.sys
Probably caused by : nwifi.sys ( nwifi!Pt6RepackRecvNBL+103 )

Followup: MachineOwner

A very good suggestion which I'll follow up. done will not see what happens over next couple of days

Hope it works out.

To be sure run CrystalDiskInfo.

Unfortunately BSOD again today soon as I started download a test file. Will run crystaldisckinfo

crystaldiscinfo not show any issues that I can see
