    Surely though, the OP has nothing to lose? the drivers for the Wireless dongle are dated 2007 (the same as the ones on the manufacturors website, which I already told him to download by the way.) and they are causing issues. the driver being offered by WU is dated 2008. If it fixes it and drivers are unavailable elsewhere I say go for it.
    The Link i posted has updated Drivers I believe !!

    Did you reboot after you installed the new driver? Did you uninstall the old driver first?

    Atheros is notorious for BSOD. I have seen many occaction where Atheros used to cause BSOD !!

    Continuous Crashing


    I purchased a Window 7 OS 64 bit Home Premium edition 6 months ago. Unfortunately, the system has started "crashing" all of the time. I cannot find a pattern as to when it happens. The screen goes black and gives me a blue screen that is totally filled with information. It allows me 2-3 seconds to read it which is impossible. The only thing I have been able to get from it is that the Display Driver needs to be reset. I am not technical so I don't even know what this means or where/how I go about doing this. Please help!
