like the title I get a BSOD when running defrag. When i analyzed my disk it said that it was 4% fragmented so i ran the defrag and up popped my BSOD. I am switching to a ne HDD tomorow so i can see if that stops these BSODs from happening, but for now i am wondering what is causing the BSOD.

    Yeah.

    Go look in C:\Windows\System32\drivers

    Right click on athurx.sys and choose Properties. Look at modified date on Details tab. It should be from May 2011.

    No, I have it on my drive right now at the moment. There is only one .inf file - the correct one.
