blue screen

Hi, blue screen just came up whilst watching a film on vlc:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: d1
BCP1: 0000000000000008
BCP2: 0000000000000002
BCP3: 0000000000000000
BCP4: FFFFF8800432230F
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 768_1



By the way, about a month ago I got a message to consider replacing my battery, and the battery life is much shorter. Could these two issues be related?

Hello Zrdsh, welcome to SF!

Please renew athrx driver from: http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx


This should solve it. If it does not, have a look at how up-to-date your system is.
ALL drivers seem to be from roughly July 2009. A lot has improved since then..
If you need help on that, post back please.

I don't think the battery had anything to do with this crash...
