BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000021, the data following the pool block being freed is corrupt.  Typically this means the consumer (call stack ) has overrun the block.
Arg2: fffffa8003c3b000, The pool pointer being freed.
Arg3: 0000000000009940, The number of bytes allocated for the pool block.
Arg4: 000001000001af4b, The corrupted value found following the pool block.

Update your Atheros wireless driver at Drivers for Atheros AR5B93 and Windows 7 using the Click for Download link.

I downloaded the driver but it pops up as some files none of them letting me install them , athr.sys , athrext , athrextx , athrx.sys , netahr , netathrx

To install them, follow the steps in Install drivers from Device Manager. Ignore that it says installing XP drivers. The procedure is the same. The device you select will be inside Network Adapters and is the wireless adapter. Your unzipped folder that you want to browse for will be the Atheros unzipped folder that you unzipped after downloading. Sorry I did not link to that tutorial before.

BAD_POOL_HEADER (19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000021, the data following the pool block being freed is corrupt.  Typically this means the consumer (call stack ) has overrun the block.
Arg2: fffffa8003c3b000, The pool pointer being freed.
Arg3: 0000000000009940, The number of bytes allocated for the pool block.
Arg4: 000001000001af4b, The corrupted value found following the pool block.

Alright i did all that but when i went to install it said windows has determined you had the latest update and said there was no need to install it. Could this crash be caused by something else, dont be sorry lol im thankful that you're taking your time to help me

If you right click the wireless adapter in Device Manager and click Properties, go to the Driver tab, what is the date shown for the driver?

Depending on the date, it could be caused by something else, but if the date is the same as I saw in the report, I think that driver needs an update. I may have to hunt down a driver for it myself.

it says 6/9/2009 version 2.0.0.74

Yeah, that is what I got in the .dmp file. That date is pre-Windows 7. I will try to find something more current for you. Atheros drivers are difficult to find updates for. I seem to remember my Atheros card having issues updating where Windows kept telling me that the driver I had was up to date... I think I ended up uninstalling it through Device Manager, putting a tick in the "Delete driver software for this device" box, and then installing it using the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/99402-driver-install-add-hardware-wizard.html without restarting the computer.

Here is a driver update for your wireless card through your laptop company: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...ep3=Aspire 7741Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6

Go to device manager, right click the device, click uninstall, put a tick in the "Delete driver software for this device" box, hit OK. Then install the above software.

Everything installed ok and my wireless is running , Thanks so much : ) if theres any problems with it like another crash if its not to much trouble to ask i'll message you again. thanks for taking the time to find all these files and teach me how to install them. have a great day!
