BSOD, usually when downloading – STOP 0x0000007f

sjiva67 · 28 Oct 2014

Hi, all,

I am getting sporadic BSODs which I think only (or at least mostly) happen when I'm downloading large files. My laptop has actually just been physically repaired – new lid, new base, new screen – and that didn't solve the problem, so I am guessing it's probably a driver issue.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Jon

The problem seems to be with the outdated Atheros network driver. Update it from here:
