Solved Seemingly random BSOD - PFN list corrupt

[jon0507]

Hi guys, this is a new custom build, that had passed its inspections before it got to me.

First BSOD was while i was on photoshop, and subsequently lost a days work!

The second seemed to happen when i unplugged my usb internet adapter, i am hoping someone will be able to make sense of this dump file

Huge thanks if you can help me out (i have also contacted the manufacturer)

Your attached file is just a shorcut link. Additional information is required.

1. Download the DM Log Collector application to your desktop by clicking the DM Log Collector icon image below



2. Run it by double-clicking the icon on your desktop, and follow the prompts.
3. Locate the .ZIP file created on your desktop, and upload it here in your next reply.

This is what i see, i have adblock and hola disabled, and i have logged in and viewed this page on chrome (default) IE and firefox, but still no icon!

 

[Golden]

Addblock is what causes you not to see the icon......download this .exe, then follow the instructions as posted originally.

Driver Reference Table - athurx.sys
Update the wireless USB adaptor driver by following the link above.

 

[jon0507]

I have removed all the old software and drivers installed the latest drivers from the site, ran the setup, yet when i look in device manager, these are the dates, Again, my apologies if am being completely inept!

 

[Golden]

Can you provide the link to the driver version you downloaded please?

 

[jon0507]

TL-WN722N - Welcome to TP-LINK

TL-WN722N_V1_131113

I have windows automatic driver install disabled also.

Edit. atattched a pic of the setup exe i used

 

[Golden]

Mmm. Thats odd. Did you reboot after the installation?

 

[jon0507]

I wasn't prompted to, so i ran it a second time, restarting both after removing the current installation via device manager and removing the software, and restarted after running the setup again, I am still met with the 2011 driver

Edit. I have tried the update driver feature in device manager, and selected the win 7 64 folder with the 2013 files in it, and told by windows that the current driver is up to date

 

[Golden]

Mmm. I've asked Arc to stop by if he has time. Lets see what he suggests.

 

[jon0507]

Sure! In the mean time, is there a way i can completely purge my PC of the old drivers and software, or should uninstall, delete drivers via device manager and remove programs be sufficient? I would hate for this to end up being due to me not being able to get rid of the old driver!

Hi.

Try this one? Drivers for Atheros AR946x and Windows 7

It is applicable for TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter, TP-LINK 300Mbps Wireless N Adapter, TP-LINK Wireless N Adapter.

 

[jon0507]

I downloaded and extracted the folder, sorry for the dumb question, but what am i doing with these files? As i didnt notice an exe.

 

[Arc]

Well, install th driver following http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html.

 

[jon0507]

I thought as much, but when i tried that and nothing happened i assumed i was meant to do something else!

Windows keeps telling me i am already up to date

 

[jon0507]

I tried the same method of manually choosing drivers via device manager, this time using the 'driver files' folder from the tp-link website. And was greeted with this message. (second attachment, the driver now shows a different date, sadly still 2011)
