    BSOD - Driver IRQL not LESS or EQUAL on laptop


    Hi

    So I have a Acer laptop and I had it like a year already and no BSOD's or errors everything was fine before the BSOD's started randomly poping up.So it got so frequent that I reinstalled win7 Ultimate 32 and it was fine for month or two and then again

    BSOD - Driver IRQL not LESS or EQUAL

    I study IT and I'm quite sure that isn't my laptop's hardware fault and as I saw in the perfmon/report there was some errors in
    Hardware Device and Driver Checks/PlugAndPlay Device Configured Fail Count section so it must be some portable/USB device but I can't be sure.
    I also attached todays .dmp files and perfmon/report .html file
    Thanking in advance.

    Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% or PowerISO. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads
    You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.


    Code:
    sptd.sys        0x8b081000    0x8b174000    0x000f3000    0x4ad245ea    12/10/2009 00:54:02
    A driver from Atheros Communications, Inc is the cause
    It is a Lan/Networking driver, upodate it from your computer manufacturer's websiute

    Code:
    BugCheck D1, {0, 2, 8, 0}
    
    Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\athr.sys, Win32 error 0n2
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athr.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athr.sys
    Probably caused by : athr.sys ( athr+7b223 )
