    BSOD Asus Aspire 5332 NDIS.sys "driver_irql_not_less_or_equal"


    Hello clever people, hopefully you can help me.

    My Asus Aspire 5332 Windows 7 x64 is blue screening each time Windows starts in normal mode.
    It starts in safe mode Ok but does not in normal mode. I have tried system restores to an older point in time but this hasnt resolved my issue.
    No new hardware has been added and the last application to be installed was some time ago.
    The BSOD is repeatable each time window loads in normal mode.
    I've attached the .dmp files.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    According to both dump files you have a problem the driver athrx.sys Driver Reference Table - athrx.sys this driver relates to your atheros network adapter its dated Fri Jul 17 03:33:40 2009 so first step would be to try updating it

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
