Hi

I started having trouble with BSOD a few days ago. I have narrowed down the issue to the wifi. I can connect through ethernet cable. As soon as I enable the Atheros card, I get BSOD. Each time, I get a different type of error "Bad pool caller" "IRQL not equal" etc. I have Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. Atheros AR5007EG adapter. 

 

Here are the hardward ids for the card

 

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_7128144F&REV_01

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_7128144F

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&CC_020000

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&CC_0200

 

I would appreciate if somebody can help me solve this problem. Let me know what other information I can provide.

Drivers are not my strong point!

See if you can get the driver here???

I have the exact same hardware (Toshiba Satelite with the Qualcomm Atheros AR5007EG wireless network adapter).  I updated to Win7 some years ago but believe that the latest "compatible" driver with this hardware is version 10.0.0.45 however there are other later versions out there.

 

The latest Toshiba supported version is here.  You can check the downloads here at Toshiba.  I would suggest in this case that you start with downloading the driver package, deleting the device in your Device Manager and then rebooting to let windows re-install the hardware using the driver package to install the correct driver..

Thanks for the replies. I deleted and reinstalled the driver. I think the wireless portion of it seems to be working better. I got another BSOD with Bad pool caller error with fltmgr.sys and another BSOD with IRQL not less or equal error. For some reason the dump files are not getting created, even though the settings are there to overwrite existing files. Any suggestions?

Hello!

I like this program a lot.

Would you mind going into Reliability Monitor and see if there might be a clue there?

Thanks.

 

I ran the who crashed program and have attached the output. Looks like it picked up a few dump files that were created on 7/31. The system is not creating dump files after that.

 

Also, I went to Reliability Monitor and it does not show any reports. Under Data Collector Sets/System - it shows Lan Diagnostics, System Diagnostics, System Performance and Wireless Diagnostics as stopped.

Hello!

Thanks for your reply!

Have you done what Who Crashed recommend? Drivers are the number one reason for BSOD!

[houston2014]

I have updated the Atheros driver. I am still getting BSODs with different causes, but I am not getting any dump files. So, not sure if Who Crashed actually can figure out what is going on right now.

 

Would reinstalling Windows solve these problems? Unfortunately I don't have the Vista disc either. Any suggestions?

[houston2014]

Also, seems like even the Wifi works when I boot up on Safe mode with networking, but crashes when I boot up in normal mode.

Hello!

You might try a clean boot!
