About a week ago, I started getting the Blue Screen of Death ( a first since installing Windows 7 in early October of 2009) on a daily basis. I have an HP dv7 laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, in case you’re wondering. The file to blame was athrx.sys. After a bit of searching on some forums, I found that it seemed to be related to the wireless driver. Sure enough, a search at HP’s website brought up my new driver. I downloaded it, ran the installer, and haven’t had a problem since. So far, so good.
