Bluescreens while playing games - Code 10d/a

A stop 0x10D BSOD causes mostly by any device driver or RAM.

We already have a failing device driver. So we need to fix it at first before any further attempt to troubleshoot.

Deleting files will not uninstall the driver actually, until and unless the driver file (it is athrux.sys; that means it is developed by Atheros and marketed by TP Link) situated in C:\Windows\drivers. So connectivity will remain.

The driver that you have downloaded is a perfect one. Let us know how the computer is running after applying the update.

Is it better to delete that file as well? Because after I tried to install the "updated" one, it didn't really overwrite the old one but both "versions" were simultanously up.

Explain it? Let us see a screenshot?

Drivers and software gets updated when a newer version is installed, it does not install the newer version as parallel to the existing version. So I am bit of confused at this point.

Well, the latest crash dump is saying that the TP link driver is not updated.

Code:

fffff880`03a3e000 fffff880`03bec000   athurx   T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: athurx.sys
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\athurx.sys
    Image name: athurx.sys
    Timestamp:        Wed Apr 20 15:48:10 2011 (4DAEB2E2)
    CheckSum:         001B13DA
    ImageSize:        001AE000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4

And the BSOD is caused by it, again.

Code:

BugCheck A, {18, 2, 1, fffff80003290ce5}

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athurx.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athurx.sys
Probably caused by : athurx.sys ( athurx+2f3a5 )
