    That one was caused by your Wifi driver:

    Probably caused by : athurx.sys ( athurx+9f3bb )

    TP-LINK Wireless USB Adapter

    Had another screen freeze, not sure if its related to athur.sys. There were no blue screens, but upon restart I think there were new dumps.

    I downloaded these drivers from the reference table: Drivers for Atheros AR9271 and Windows 7
    However, after using these drivers, I had a severe slowdown on my internet speed. At times, my internet would hang and not connect.

    I then installed the latest drivers for my TP-Link Wireless adapter found here: TL-WN722N - Welcome to TP-LINK
    About 15 minutes later was when the screen freeze occurred.

    Thank you for all your assistance. Although I am still having problems, the BSOD's are not occurring as frequently so thanks so far!

    Some more BSODs. Ever since upgrading the drivers for my TP-Link wireless adapter, I've been experiencing more frequent BSODs. This time it's a driver_irql_not_less_or_equal with a stop error of 0x0d1. It blames the driver nvlddmkm.sys.

    I've noticed I only experience BSOD's when I'm in a game. I just ran 24 hours without a BSOD when I do light internet surfing. Thus, I think this may have something due to either my graphics card or my WLAN loses internet connection and causes a BSOD. I am trying to roll back the graphics drivers to the previous version and see if this fixes the BSOD's. Will keep you guys posted.
