    BSOD when removing/installing TP Link wireless adaptor into USB slot


    Hello All,

    I have attached the ZIP as requested. I just created a new build and i seem to be getting BSODs every now and again. I am not 100% sure it is happening when i am inserting/removing the USB network adapter but i think it may be the cause! Apologies as i am a bit of a noob at this. The help i received previously when using the forum was amazing!

    Please let me know if there is any other additional information you need!

    Many Thanks!!! :)

    There is no crash dump in the uploaded zip, but the driver to the wireless adapter is too old.
    Code:
    20/04/2011 11:07:45    C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\athurx.sys
    Try this driver: https://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wirel...et=36&system=6

    If it does not work, go to Download Center - Welcome to TP-LINK and download the driver for the appropriate device.

    Let us know the result.
