Random BSODs when on wireless network
I just moved and my new internet provider is Comcast. Ever since they set up my modem/router, whenever I use the wireless network (which is preferred/needed) I eventually get a BSOD. Sometimes 3-4x in a couple of hours; the longest has been 1.5 days without - that was until this morning, when it happened again (and it's happened 2-3x since today). The BSOD error message is not always the same, but it only happens when I'm on-line wirelessly. Comcast has put in 3 routers over the last week... I'm sure at this point that it's not the router!
I've run hardware and memory diagnostics, defragged, checked bios, etc etc. I'm about 90% sure it's a wireless network driver conflict but my Device Manager says my drivers are up to date. A couple of the screens have mentioned drivers:
athrx.sys
ndis.sys
So -
1) I keep getting different error messages,
2) the computer seems to be fine, whether I re-boot normally or in safe mode, and
3) it only ever happens when I'm on-line through wireless router. I've been hooked up with an ethernet cable for much of the time the last week to be safe, and I've been on the computer but off-line, working in Word and Excel - no crashes. But when I go back to the wireless network....
I've uploaded the DM log.... Any help in deciphering it is greatly appreciated! I sure hope I'm not killing my computer with all these BSODs!
I can post some of the errors I'm getting, but I've only been copying down the first lines -
mostly - bad pool header stop: 0x00000019
also:
stop: 0x0000007E with athrx.sys listed
Irq not equal.... with ndis.sys listed
