Start here and update this driver
athrx.sys 2/22/2011
For your TP-Link 450Mbps Wireless N Adapter from here http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WDN4800&version=V1
Grab the newest one Published 6/24/2013
Turn off Driver Verifier
See if that helps with the Blue Screens. If not zip an attach more recent ones to your next post.

Not sure what you mean.
There was only two things I mentioned
1. Update the athrx.sys driver (that is your TP-Link driver it uses an Atheros chip set) which is contained in the link I gave you to TP-Link
2. Turn off driver verifier
That's it.
Run the system and see if it blue screens again, if it does upload the new .dmp files here.

And not sure why you "disabled ethernet in device manager" but un-disable it

And those .dmp files are still showing
athrx.sys 2/22/2011
And that driver contained in the update I linked to is showing a 01/21/2013 date you may want to update it manually.

Driver Install - Manual Method

1. Download the driver and extract it to a folder.
2. Open the Device Manager.
3. Right click the device you wish to change the drivers for. You can select Properties > Driver > Driver Details to check you have the right device.
4. Choose Update Driver Software.
5. Select Browse My Computer For Driver Software.
6. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
7. Select Have disk...
8. Select Browse..
9. Navigate to the extracted folder and double click on the .inf file
10. Hit OK, then Next and the driver(s) will then begin to install.
11. After it has installed, GoTo C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. Locate the driver you've just updated, right click it and check the dates under its properties.

Thanks for the step by step instructions. I followed them precisely and still get the BSOD :/
I'll upload my latest .dmp file for you to check out.
Thanks again for all the help, it's saving me a lot of time here.

got a blue screen again in the uploading process...
also, I tried simply deleting athrx.sys manually and then installing the driver according to the steps you listed. Again that didn't work :/

Also, I am unable to upload the .dmp. I've tried two different computers. Maybe my .dmp file is bad now, or maybe the website is having some issues.

I'll try again soon!

The W7F_09-08-2013.zip file attached above does not contain any .dmp files least of all a new one.
Please check and confirm you are using all the latest possible driver for that particular board from here http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4481&dl=1#driver
Additionally change the driver drop down to BIOS and check, I believe that there is an update available to F7 from the one you are currently using specifically

Vendor American Megatrends Inc.
BIOS Version F4
BIOS Starting Address Segment f000
BIOS Release Date 05/09/2013

But be sure I've got the correct link for your specific board and exact Revision Number
