Hi steve45321,  

Welcome to Microsoft Windows Vista Community site.  

This issue is mainly caused by the driver error which is installed for your LAN CARD / NIC (Network card)

The issue can be resolved by downloading and installing the latest drivers for the NIC from the manufacture’s website.  

Note: You might need to download the latest drivers in a different computer and install it in the computer where the issue is present, and you must boot to desktop with Safe Mode Option and install the latest drivers for the NIC 

Reference Link for how boot to desktop in Safe Mode.

Let me know if this worked.

Hope this is helpful.

    Hi RomeroClemente,

    The error you are receiving appears to be "network" related.

    I am going to suggest to start a new topic to get proper help on the issue.

    Hi Auggy,

    I need your help to identify the crash error as I have gotten the BSOD with similar issues:

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    ndis.sys

    I have uploaded 3 minidump files, all of which should report the same problem (after BSOD, restart, BSOD again, restart again and so on)....

    edit: here's the link http://sdrv.ms/13bsBmU

    OS: Windows 7 32 bit

    Appreciate your kind help.

    Henry

    Hi HnrySugi.

    The minidump file points to the athr.sys:

    BUCKET_ID:  0xD1_athr+3a5c1

    The athr.sys, which is dated jun 9, 2009, is a driver for Atheros wireless so try updating the wireless driver.

    I would also suggest to update Avast to the latest version.

    If the error persists consider starting a new topic on the issue to get better, individualized help.
