    Got my first BSOD.


    Hi Guys, I just got my first ever BSOD today (5 mins ago), and am concerned. Can anyone look into this for me. However before I was installing Security Programs (not 2 anti-viruses at once).

    Here are my dumps.

    According to this, one of the drivers on your network stack is behaving badly (access violation in kernel mode referencing nonpaged pool memory == immediate bugcheck):
    Code:
    3: kd> .bugcheck
    Bugcheck code 1000007E
    Arguments c0000005 964cc0a3 baaa3a1c baaa3600

    The driver in question (athur.sys) is the Atheros extensible WiFi device driver, meaning it's likely you have an Atheros-based WiFi card in that system, which is odd for a desktop system:
    Code:
    3: kd> !sysinfo smbios
    ...
    Vendor American Megatrends Inc.
    BIOS Version A48F1P02
    BIOS Starting Address Segment f000
    BIOS Release Date 09/07/2011
    ...
    Manufacturer Novatech Ltd
    Product Name Desktop PC
    Version V1.0
    ...
    Manufacturer Foxconn 
    Product H67M-S/H67M-V/H67
    I can't see anything about the global object table or device specific settings from a minidump, but if you've got a WiFi adapter in there, it's driver is behaving badly it would seem.

    Yes I do use a USB Adapter as I do not have a Wireless Card:

    NETGEAR WNA1100 N150 Wireless USB Adapter.

    Looks like there's a newer version on NetGear's website - might be worth downloading and testing.
