Hi,
I've been having a problem with my PC recently and I'm having a very hard time trying to fix it.

It started off with a BSOD pointing at a athryx.sys driver, I updated the athryx.sys and my wireless network card. The problem persisted and it happens at least 4 times a day.

I don't know if it's worth mentioning that I was able to get a look at the dump file and that's how I thought the issue was athryx.sys, about 2 weeks ago I noticed that the dump files are no longer generated. Baring in mind that the settings were untouched.

Since the BSOD first happened I've been noticing CPU spikes too 100 which were pointing at the system in the resource manager and for the first time today after the BSOD occured I got a message saying 'CPU over temperature' which lead me to the BIOS.

The BSOD has been popping up for over a month now and I can't seem to track to an exact time. The only thing that I can recall is the fact that I tried to plug in an ethernet cable for the first time and that I've added a second screen. Apart from that no hardware changes. I've ran a virus scan multiple times and nothing!

I just have no clue as to what the problem might be anymore!
