    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 win7 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
