    Random BSOD after installing Netgear A6210 Wifi Adapter


    Hi,

    My desktop encountered some random BSODs after installing the Wifi adapter.

    Also, my desktop had random freezes too and I'm not sure if the freezes and BSODs are related.

    I've attached the zipped file for the BSODs.

    Hi axe0,

    I filled up the system specs as mentioned. Hope it will help in troubleshooting the problem. :)

    I tried to download and install updates but couldn't do it as my computer kept freezing or turning into black screen when it was running windows update.

    Do the freezes occur when you only download updates or also with installation?

    Please run following tests on your hard drives/partitions



    Diagnostics Test

    Run SeaTools to check the integrity of your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use - Windows 7 Help Forums
    Run following tests

    2. Short generic
    3. Long generic

    If the short generic fails, no need for the long generic.

       Note
    Do not run SeaTools on an SSD as the results will be invalid.

    Make a photo of the result and post it.

    Sorry for the late reply, I've been trying to do the tests for the past few days.

    However, the computer froze when I was doing error scan for my 300GB hard disk using HD Tunes and it froze again when I was doing Long Generic Tests for both 300GB and 500GB hard disks using SEA Tools.

    I've attached the images for the tests I managed to complete.

    Your Samsung drive may be failing, did you run chkdsk on it?

    I tried running chkdsk on it but the computer froze before it could be completed. :/

    Did you try running it offline or online? Online is in Windows, offline is when Windows hasn't loaded.

    Hmmm, I'm not sure because the chkdsk starts after the "starting windows" screen. And my chkdsk screen is the image that I found online. So is that online or offline?
