    BSOD when lid of laptop is closed and idle


    Hello!

    I have been having problems with my ASUS laptop recently. I am not sure if this is related with the BSODs I've been having but the sound driver fails to boot up from time to time. I appreciate your assistance and time very much!

    Welcome

    The BSOD you are getting is due to the Atheros Network adapter driver.
    Get an update for it.

    Post back if you get more crashes

    Thank you koolkat. I have successfully updated my network drivers thanks to your assistance and things already seem to be less clunky! I will be sure to drop in again within a week to verify things are running smoothly (if not by tomorrow!).
    Thank you again :)

    Hello again!
    I am sorry for the long gap since my last response. I have actually still been getting the same issue after updating my wireless adapter. Attached is a compilation of .dmp files I have received until now (the old ones are still in there, which are 091112 and 091312).

    Thank you again for your time and assistance!

    Your latest dumps are not loading properly. Try grabbing them again.

    But they show memory corruption.

    Run memtest86+ for 8 passes (Preferably overnight)
    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Dumps caused by the same driver.

    2. In the Device Manager locate the device you wish to update the drivers for/look for a


    Once drivers have been installed reboot.

    Next, get an update for your BIOS version.

    Then download all updates from windows updates installed.
