Windows 7: BSOD

Windows 7
 
 
BSOD

When I woke up this morning my computer had this problem.
My computer usually restarts on its own when there is an update from Windows.
Well I took a picture of the blue screen and uploaded the minidump.
Thanks in advanced

P.S. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section or didn't provide enough information.

Edit: Btw this is for Windows 7

Hi, Welcome to SF

Just had a look through your dumps, looks pretty straight forward all dumps are identical 0xD1 DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Probably caused by : athrx.sys
athrx.sys is your Atheros network adapter driver, i would visit manufacturers website and download latest drivers for your device and install

Hope this helps, post back your results

Thanks for the advice, but sadly I'm not sure how to do that
If I need to boot in safe mode for this, I can't.
For some reason it now just says "please wait" and never loads the users

Are you saying you cant boot windows at all, if so have you tried booting from win 7 disc and running any recovery/repair options

My dell computer didn't come with a Windows 7 disc.
I tried to run a repair disc I made, and all I got was an error after it loaded the disc
The error was 0x4001100200001012

Are you sure the disc is ok, not scrathed or anything, recovery discs are the same for all win 7 installs apart from bit versions, could try downloading and burning another to be sure, heres the link if you want it, just select your bit version Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs — The NeoSmart Files if not its back to the drawing board,

just a thought try burning the disk at slower speed so theres less chance of an error on disk
