Driver Equals More or Less, Bluescreen

[Jenko90]

Hello,

I hope that someone may help me, I've had this blue screen 3 times within the past 5 weeks, the last one was 10 days ago so I'm not sure what is triggering it.

When I first got my PC (2 months ago) I had issues with the graphics card and ended up sending it back which is now completely fixed and it works fine.

I've looked in the Action center to see if there was anything that I've downloaded that could have started these bluescreen's but can't see anything, so now I need a little help to figure out the problem.

Thankyou in advance to anyone who can help, i've attached the dmp files if you require the other two let me know please. Thanks.

Hello Jenko90.

Your Atheros Wireless LAN USB device driver is very old. It is of July, 2008 as installed in the system.

Update it from Atheros, and let us know the situation.

I'm not sure which to download,

I know It's an old Belkin Wireless adapter i'm using - Belkin F5D7050 4xxx series, as far as I know on the belkin website they never made an update for win7 because the adapters old, I can see what you mean about the Atheros Driver, it's inside the belkin files under Win7_64 folder, but I don't know which one to download off that website.

I am also not sure. I dont have such a device.

But, here is a list of drivers, one should match with your hardware, check the first column carefully.

Anybody can help, provide the necessary information.

 

[Jenko90]

I've provided you with the information in the JENKO90.ZIP folder!

You say my belkin drivers are old, but you didn't say if there was anything else causing the blue screen, so I was wondering if someone else helped me out they might see something. Blue screen yesterday is the same ERROR as previous ones, they are all in the zip folder.

If there is nothing else you can see in that folder to cause the blue screen, then state this? Thanks.

ETA: There is no newer driver for my wireless adapter, the update it is now is the latest, someone else has checked this for me.

Athrxusb is indeed implicated by the minidumps.

Check Atheros & Zidas drivers or Microsoft Update Catalog for up to date drivers.

What model do you have. You should know what chipset it is based on.

Thanks for your help, It probably is the wireless adapter, it is very old, I will probably go and buy a new one seeing as they aren't that expensive. Thanks for your help!

 

[JMV2009]

Your wireless drivers are the latest available (Zydas ZD1211 version 2.2.0.27 from Microsoft windows update (where they are considered to be "compatible")). However, they seem to be causing trouble, which is not too surprising.

Yeah a little weird, because in the action center it keeps asking me to update my wireless driver, its a shame to have to buy another adapter since this one works fine in itself, just windows 7 hates it.
