This linkis for a program that wil interpert the blue screen and give you an explanation of what caused it. It is not 100% because if a driver caused the blue screen it can't identify what caused the driver to cause the blue screen but it's a start and gives you someting to look at. If you have made any hardware or software changes lately then that could be the cause.

crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\110512-23665-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: athurx.sys (athurx+0x31361)
Bugcheck code: 0x1000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF88008650361, 0xFFFFF88008E529E8, 0xFFFFF88008E52250)
Error: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\athurx.sys
product: Driver for Atheros CB42/CB43/MB42/MB43 Network Adapter
company: Atheros Communications, Inc.
description: Atheros Extensible Wireless LAN device driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: athurx.sys (Atheros Extensible Wireless LAN device driver, Atheros Communications, Inc.).
Google query: Atheros Communications, Inc. SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M



pls help ,tnx.

It's pretty clear that the network card driver has caused the BSOD and the driver is from a third party and not from the manufacturer. I would suggest you look for a driver for your network card or chip if it's built in.
Atheros Network adaptor. I would try this site as cnet is a trusted site.

To delete the current driver go to control panel and delete the newtork driver, but make sure you download and save to your desktop the new driver first because once you delete the old driver you won't be able to go online and download the new driver.

Did you run the Who Crashed on this latest crash , because it's hard to read the error code and it takes an engineer to decipher it.

yes i ran who crashed software but this time there were no new dump files were there moreover when i restarted my machine windows didn't notify me of dump files either only at restart normal screen came which asked to run system manually or delete restoration data

You can try the action center and run the trouble shooter and that will give you any situations that are causeing a problen. Also the event viewer will give a readout of any events that occured on the computer.

my action center is on and it says to update and carry out backup.

also i have viewed events in event viewer and already posted its description in xml format in above posts.

also help on this that how to view what service pack i have currently on my win 7?

You can go to right click on computer and select properties. At the top of the page it will tell you the Windows edition that you have.
The action center also has a trouble shooter option that you can choose to run.

Really confused; I see three BSOD messages:

0x7E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, which is basically a way of saying a critical system thread crashed. The other two listed (0x0 and 0x126) are undocumented...

Download Bluescreenview and post a screenshot. Easier then using WhoCrashedIt (which frankly, is incapable of pointing toward the root cause of most problems).

Ok, two BSOD's recored, both from SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Both caused by memory corruption (0xC00000005 as the first failure parameter). Safest thing to do for now is run a memory test with memtest86+, to make sure thats not the problem.

ok i ll try out the mem..86++ test and see what comes out and post back the result.

also one thing i wud like to mention that i ran some memtest which runs while window runs(http://hcidesign.com/memtest/), then i ran multiple instances of it under window alloting equivalent to 6.5 gb of ram and rest 1.5 gb was utilized by the system but nothing came out, is this test legit enough to verify that memory is not at fault or i have to got mem86++ as for sure confirmation?
