Hi, after posting in a previous thread about why my laptop continues to BSOD, it was determined that the athrx.sys file appears to be the root of the problem. Could anyone direct me to a working, up to date version of this file so I can try and replace it? I have looked and am unsure of what it is needed or how to update it.
Thank you
What is your current date for the driver? To find the current date:
1. Click Start Menu
2. Right Click My Computer/Computer
3. Click Manage
4. Click Device Manager from the list on the left
5. Expand Network adapters
6. Right click on the Atheros adapter and click Properties
7. Go to the Driver tab and check the date
What is the name of the device? AR something? I'll need the numbers to help you find the correct driver.
Atheros AR5007 802.11 b/g WiFi Adapter
Version 2.0.0.75
This is the link to my previous post with dump data etc.

Follow these steps:
1. Go to Drivers for Atheros AR5007 and Windows 7
2. Scroll down the page
3. Click the "Click to Download" link.
4. Save it where you can find it.
5. Unzip the zip folder
6. Run through the steps in my previous post 1-6
7. Click the driver tab, and click update driver.
8. Click Browse My Computer for driver software
9. Click the browse button and go to the location where you saved the atheros driver folder.
10. Select the folder and click next.
Post back if you need further help.
Thank you, have followed your recommended instructions. I'll post back here if the BSOD returns.
Many thanks.
Actually no, I clicked find the software myself, selected the unzipped folder and it said Windows has determined the driver is up to date. I then clicked search through a list of drivers on the computer, 2 of which came up, both of the same device name but one with (Atheros) and one with (Microsoft). I have tried updating to both options, and after neither did the date of the driver change.
Do you have a vendor for your computer? Sony, Dell, Toshiba, etc.?
