BSOD Randomly 6 months old PC Sometimes athrxusb.sys err

[icesotope]

Sometimes BSOD showed athrxusb.sys while other times it didnt.

did google about athrxusb.sys and it came out that my wireless network adapter driver needs to update but driver isnt compatible with win 7, so i tried another driver that works and that i got my internet up and im happy about it. At first it didnt bother me much until recently bsod's starts to be much more frequent so it kinda freaks me out. Had power shortages a few times that shutsdown my cpu abruptly if thats some relevant infomation.

Thank you very much for your time and expertise! i really hope its just my adapter which im gonna get a new one soon and not some sinister problem that lurks behind

It is the Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter that is causing the issue.

Search for any possible update from Belkin USA Site

If there is no feasible update, you may need to stop using that adapter.

I've tried to update to a new version but it still crashes quite randomly but today it had experience crash/reboot like 3 times and it didnt leave a log file. the last crash dmp was on 14/6/2015. Is there a way to check on the latest crash log or did the pc suddenly decided not to record them?

Thank you for your time!

A random reboot does not necessarily mean a BSOD. If you see a BSOD and the crash dump is not recorded, let us know. We will try to explore other ways.

doesnt seem to have any bsod now as it just reboots abruptly happened twice today

no prompt of logs, nuthing. is there a way to analyze the crash or something on event viewer?

 

[Arc]

No, there was no stress of a further BSOD.

It reports as "bugcheck" in event viewer and as "bluescreen" in windows error reporting. None after that Belkin caused 0xD1 one.
