a series of BSOD error messages

Hi ,

i try to keep it short... My machine Asus N73SV 12 gb Ram 2 HD win7 64 ultim. I bought the win8 upgrade 15$ version... Installed 100% ...reboot..and now the trouble starts.. a series of error messages..see photos... after hours of talking with MS tech support.. I gave up.... I tested the memory with memtest 7 times..clean. I tried the install with keeping settings and files as well..keeping nothing... I formatet the HD installed win 7 and than win 8 same problem
here my questions A) can you look at the error pictures and cbs log file (sfc /scannow was not able to repair) and tell me what files are corrupt and how i can solve the problem. Is it possible to expand like the ntoskrnl.exe from the win7 dvd. I have upgraded my older asus M70vm from win7 ulti to win8 pro... no problems at all
Hope to hear from you... and maybe with an idea...
Thanks

Hello zachi, as it is windows 8, better you post it in BSOD Crashes and Debugging - Windows 8 Forums.

Apparently the issue is network related, somehow your wifi adapter driver is blocked.

Code:

fffff880`0318c248  fffff880`0504a901Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\athrx.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athrx.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athrx.sys
 athrx+0x2d901

Try to update it .... ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows (Atheros?????)

And, as a try, uninstall Avira. The network blockage may be caused by it, too. After upgrading to 8, use any other antivirus. In windows 7, use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Let us know the results.

ntoskrnl.exe is not a problem, it cannot be. It is actually the kernel on which the crash took place, and the memory record failed to detect what is the exactly cause of the crash, so blamed the kernel itself.

In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Free up the startup.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept the restart.

Download and install CCleaner. Then run it.
Go to "Tools" .... by default it will open the "uninstall" tab.
Click on save as text file. Save it on your desktop.
Upload the text file for us.
