    Random BSODs on Asus G53JW


    I'm getting random BSOD's usually after many hours and after hybernating(closing lid).
    Have run Memtest, no errors.
    Reinstalled Atheros LAN Driver.
    Ran verifier for 4 hours(had to stop it because I could'nt play decently, was slower than usual)
    Uninstalled Daemon Tools and SPTD.

    Still getting BSOD's...

    - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ?
    x64
    - the original installed OS on the system?
    Yes
    - an OEM or full retail version?
    OEM

    - What is the age of system (hardware)?
    6 Months
    - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)

    Might be your ESET. I would replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials, at least to test it.

    Replaced ESET for Microsoft Security Essentials. (If I decide to reinstall ESET can I use the same serial I had?)
    Waiting for the much appreciated BSOD to appear, maybe after 2-3 days.

    You can re-use the same legit serial number.

    While you are waiting for the BSOD can you check event viewer?

    There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Event viewer (local) and look for the critical errors listed in the last day, week, etc. Then go to the windows log>application tab. Finally the windows Logs>system tabs.

    You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).

    When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.

    When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.

    Great, here is another BSOD, now it seems to be the wireless card driver, happened after a suspension.
    Even though it's the latest driver it's crashing

    I'm using netsh command to create wireless access points for my iphone, can it be causing the wireless card to produce bsods after long periods of usage?

    Well, this time I didn't turn on the wireless access point, so it can't be the wireless card on my laptop

    Ok I'm downgrading my wireless card driver
