Thanks for the reply. I'm only your average Joe computer user and when things start getting technical I'm a bit out of my depth. Sorry about that. This BSOD is WAY over my head and I appreciate any help I can get.
I'm not sure where to get a new upmarket driver. I'm also not sure how to install the driver when I get one. The instructions where I got the sys file was a bit ambiguous. When I do a Google search on the topic it just confuses me more. Could you perhaps point me in a direction where I can acquire a new upmarket driver?
I think the Atheros lan must be an onboard device as the only card plugged into the motherboard is the Nividia screen card.
Unfortunately I don't know anyone who could loan me a PCI Lan card. Most of my friends with computers won't know what a lan card is and whether they have one in their computer. My only other option would be to purchase one. I am just scared that if I spend the money and it doesn't fix the problem. Would you advise that I purchase a card? I suppose if I purchase a lan card that it will come with the necessary drivers.
Could you also please explain to me how to disable the onboard lan?
Sorry that I'm a bit technically constrained and thanks again for your patience and help.
