    BSOD during casual surfing on the web, error 0000000000000018


    Heya !

    So I just bought this machine a few days ago and have gotten several BSOD's here during these few days.

    Is Windows 7 . . .
    - 64bit
    - the original installed OS on the system?
    Windows 7 home premium 64bit, the same I'm using
    - an OEM or full retail version?
    Came pre-installed

    - What is the age of system (hardware)? Been in use for several days, was on display for everyone to try in the store most likely for a couple months.
    - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) A couple months.

    Automated driver updating software often installed updated drivers for devices that are similar to those installed on the system being updated. This can cause conflicts and system crashes. If you want to continue using the software, make sure to create system restore points regularly before updating drivers. Also, make sure you have enough space available for the restore points. 20 GB is recommended if you continue to use the software: System Protection - Change Disk Space Usage

    It appears your Atheros wireless network adapter driver is corrupted. Did you update it with the automated software, by chance? This may be an example of what I was saying before...

    Download the latest driver for your wireless card from ATHEROS Wireless drivers for Windows by selecting the blue check mark furthest to the right for AR9285. Then click the Click for Download button. The download should start automatically on the next page. Do not click any of the links on that page as they will take you to unsecure sites.

    Now, I will give some information that most do not know because they have not had an Atheros driver on their systems themselves or maybe they were just lucky not to have the problem that many have updating these drivers. The Atheros drivers for some reason cause problems in Windows. When you install them to overwrite the current drivers via the install package that vendors provide, they don't stick. I do not know why. Also, if a user tries to update them through device manager, for some reason, Windows informs the user that the system already has the most up to date drivers. Again, I do not know why. There is a special procedure that must be followed for these devices to update them properly.

    Now that you have downloaded the latest Atheros package, here are the steps to install it so it sticks and actually updates the drivers for the device.

    1. Click Start Menu
    2. Right Click My Computer/Computer
    3. Click Manage
    4. Click Device Manager from the list on the left
    5. Expand Network adapters
    6. Right click the Atheros network device
    7. Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
    8. Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device and hit OK
    9. Do not restart your computer
    10. Install the downloaded driver for the Atheros network device.


    Alternatively:
    1. Login as an adminstrative user.
    2. First, download the latest driver. Then do the next steps.
    3. Click Start Menu
    4. Click Control Panel
    5. Click Hardware and Sound
    6. Click Device Manager (the last link under Devices and Printers)
    7. Expand Network adapters
    8. Right click the Atheros network device
    9. Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
    10. Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device and hit OK
    11. Do not restart your computer
    12. Install the downloaded driver for the Atheros network device.

    To install the downloaded driver, follow the steps in Driver Install - Add Hardware Wizard ; follow steps 1-6 exactly, then browse for where you saved the Atheros drivers and install as in steps 7-14 but for the Atheros drivers instead of the NETOEM driver.

    Thanks heaps for your reply ! And yeah, I had tried installing a new Atheros driver using that driver scanner thingy, though it failed in updating the driver, can't remember whether it gave a reason for failing, or not. Anyway I went and downloaded the new driver you gave a link to, but when trying to install it the manual way, the tutorial was about, I got all the way to the step where you select your driver from the location you downloaded them to. I then found two .inf files from the folder, but neither then gave me any manufacturers nor network adapters to choose from. I then tried installing them through device manager and it seems like it succeeded in doing it. Assuming that when looking at my network adapters, and their installed drivers, it does say it's the new one found behind the link you gave me. Guess all there is to do is wait and see whether the problem still persist.

    Alright, see how the system responds for a few days and post back. Also, who manufactured your system and what model is it? The Atheros driver is likely provided by the manufacturer, as well, and should be easier to install if you have further problems with it.
