BSODs every day ntoskrnl.exe -> BTHUSB.sys IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x00

I bought a new ASUS G74S laptop a few months ago and have been putting up with about a BSOD per day on average. I'm finally getting off my lazy *** to investigate. Even though it would BSOD it would never create a mini-dump file. I am able to use verifier.exe to recreate the BSOD and the minidump file. I selected all drivers except the Microsoft Corporation drivers. Usually my machine boots up in around 5 seconds (primary drive is Vertex 3 SSD). With driver verifier running it took about 5 minutes showing the windows 7 logo and then it BSOD. This time it created a mini-dump file, which I have attached. Please help! Thank you so much!

I tried to create a perfmon report, but it keeps timing out, so I never get the report.

Also, I attached the results of a bluescreenviewer.

Win 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate Full Retail. - the original installed OS on the system? Win 7 Home Premium - What is the age of system (hardware)? 3 months - What is the age of OS installation? 3 months, reformatted entire machine once I got it and put retail OS on.

OK. I updated the HD audio driver. I also removed any bluetooth software. I also went into device manager and uninstalled all bluetooth related devices. The one issue I had, was that I wasn't allowed to remove intel proset wireless software for bluetooth technology. I attached screenshot. I wonder if this is really installed, however.

I have the same problem as well, I just got the laptop, and seems like the BSOD is very random.

Try to reinstall the driver in Safemode

I called Asus last nite, they said to do a system recovery. I did and the problem didnt go away. I called them back, and they said it's most likely a hardware problem. so I'm going to return my laptop and get a new one.

I haven't had a BSOD since I updated the sound driver, and uninstalled all bluetooth devices. I still have my fingers crossed that the problem is fixed.

how did you update the sound driver?

Realtek -> High Definition Audio Codecs (Software) -> 64bits Vista, Windows7 Driver only (Executable file) -> pick one of the mirrors to the site to download it. Then just install it.
