    Random BSOD following fresh install and new motherboard


    I recently replaced my motherboard and RAM, and installed Windows 7 64bit and all was well to start with, until i started getting random BSOD.

    I got today the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL for which i updated the official drivers for the NIC and Audio drivers this afternoon. The graphics card was updated originally when installing windows 7.

    I then received BAD_POOL_CALLER and now completely confused.

    Minidump attached

    Can someone please help?

    You apparently have a atheros based nic device.

    This is the cause of your pain.
    unfortunately I can't track down the atheros windows 7 drivers for you, I had it bookmarked but apparently they have changed their website ... significantly.

    At any rate the driver for said device is clearly indicated as your problem causer.

    Code:
    Probably caused by : L1C62x64.sys ( L1C62x64+5e83 )

    BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)
    The current thread is making a bad pool request.  Typically this is at a bad IRQL level or double freeing the same allocation, etc.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: 0000000000000007, Attempt to free pool which was already freed
    Arg2: 000000000000109b, (reserved)
    Arg3: 00000000040b000b, Memory contents of the pool block
    Arg4: fffffa8007045e40, Address of the block of pool being deallocated

    I have found a newer driver (Drivers for Atheros AR8131 and Windows 7) and have installed it, so will keep you informed.

    good deal, based on the information in the crash dumps you attached it seems to be the only problem.
    If something else goes bad please upload the newest minidump created by it.

    I regret to inform you that it's the exact same thing causing the error.
