Well, I thought things had stabilized, but it still crashes every 3-4 days. Only change is at some point in this time period I installed Spyder5 software for monitor color calibration. I had used Spyder3, but was concerned it was too old. Attached is the dump file. I would appreciate help figuring out what is causing this. All drivers are the latest available.Attachment 40848
The cause is the driver from the Dell Wireless 1703 device.
Please check Atheros for driver updates

Thanks for the response. I don't use bluetooth on the computer, so I disabled the Dell Wireless 1703 device. We'll see if that helps. However, in the meantime, I have had two more crashes. The file is attached. They seem different. Any ideas? Attachment 40926
Lots. I have 10 USB ports, 6 USB 3.0 and 4 USB 2.0. All but 3 of the ports have something attached. There are two USB hubs. One is USB 2.0 and the other is USB 3.0. The USB 2.0 hub has 4 external drives with their own power supply attached. The USB 3.0 hub has two external drives with their own power supply. I have a mouse, a wireless keyboard fob, a film scanner (not turned on) and a Wacom tablet attached to USB 2.0 ports. There is a USB 3.0 card reader attached to the other USB 3.0 port. The only thing added with the new monitor and video card was the USB 3.0 hub. However, it seems to work fine.
I am asking it again because the following makes me curious about extern devices.
The USBXHCI.sys is a USB driver from Windows.Code:fffff803`b2b93728 fffff800`1c580683 USBXHCI!UsbDevice_TransferEventHandler+0x87 fffff803`b2b936b8 fffff800`1c56a932 USBXHCI!Endpoint_TransferEventHandler+0x4e\ fffff803`b2b936c8 fffff800`1c56dddc USBXHCI!WPP_RECORDER_SF_ddddxdLL+0x178
I noticed a reference to that, too. I have run tests on all the usb ports and they all test OK. I think I used the Dell diagnostic. Nothing shows as a problem in device manager either. Other than mouse, keyboard (wireless) and Wacom tablet, it is mostly external drives of various sizes and ages. And also an external card reader.is there something better to run to test usb issues?
These last two rashes reference "hal.dll". I have not seen that before. Not sure what, if anything it means.
Best way to test USB issues is by disconnecting them all and test every connection with a device you know should work.
If there is no problem, 1 or multiple devices is giving trouble.
If there are problems, the USB of the pc is causing issues.
That is an important Windows file, only blamed because it is the last active.
I can garantee you that it is not the cause.
Here latest dump files. I had almost all thing USB devices removed. Had three portable USB drives attached directly to compute. No hubs. Attachment 41613
Please uninstall everything of Nvidia using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from Nvidia
