Another Windows 7 BSoD

I have an an Acer Asprire 3400 model, retail bought and not even a year old. Basically the machine would BSoD every month or so after purchasing the machine, I was able to bear with this. Now though it BS's pretty much everyday, becoming unbearable.

If it's any use:

Hi Dan welcome to SF
You have the athrxusb.sys error.
This is Atheros Wireless LAN USB device driver.
So please for first step update the atheros drivers.http://www.acer.com/worldwide/selection.html

Thanks Panais :)

I know I'm going to sound like such a noob here, but how do I know which driver is the one I need? I mean obviously I need the Wireless Lan Driver (USB) but I don't recognise either of the manufacturer vendors and Acer's Hardware Detector only shows the VGA manufacturer, any ideas?

How to Find Drivers
search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone - will help you search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to

The download page for the Guru3D Driver Sweeper programs you suggested contains text stating the program has been discontinued, or I am doing something stupid?

The device that uses the faulty driver is a Belkin Wireless USB Network Adaptor, I've tried using both Windows Vista and XP drivers as opposed to the Windows 7 one I was using, no such luck though. I can't remember where I found them, but returning to Belkin's driver page, they use one driver for all 3 OS's now.

Visiting Atheros's driver page, can only find compatibility for up to Vista, no 7..

I'm fairly sure that weird message in the folder was saved onto my machine by a friend some time ago as some cheap joke, however how it made itself into that folder when I uploaded is beyond me, and even weirder checking properities it states date created was the 08/07/2011, when I created the folder. Either way I ran a full virus scan, only returning tracking cookies, so I think the document's harmless.

But cheers panais, I appreciate this :).

Dont worry your not doing anything stupid or bad.:)
This must be a temporary website problem.
Take a look here Belkin : Support
Please reupload ur minidump zip file.

Ah, that makes more sense.

Belkin : Support F5D7050 Wireless G USB Network Adapter - Drivers

Is my USB adapter, the 4xxx driver. I've downloaded and tried that driver, still no luck though .

I'm going to Device Manager, and uninstalling and deleting driver software. However when I try and select the new driver from the Belkin site to install Windows tells me I already have the most recent driver version.

Try the easy way,roll back driver then try to update with the new one.
