    BSOD and screen freezes frequently - help Decoding crash dump analysis


    I have frequent crashes and freezes so I decided to get whocrashed software to analyze the crash dump files and now have no idea what to do next. I would greatly appreciate help in decoding the analysts so I can investigate this further to hopefully fix this problem.

    I have a Dell Inspiron One 2305 and I read awhile back that this is a frequent problem that may reside in a faulty SATA cable and needs to be replace but am as yet unsure how to confirm this. I installed windows 7 over one that couldn't boot and also installed another instance on the recovery partition which is still there I keep just in case. All but two drivers are up to date : The ATI I/O Communications Processor SMBus Controller, usb controller.

    Conclusion
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    20 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Only 15 are included in this report. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

    bcmwl664.sys (Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter wireless driver, Broadcom Corporation)

    If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.


    Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

    Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

    I am also a little hesitant to install an update to a driver because it might freeze mid way and I heard that is really bad and I might permanently loose access to computer, is this true?
