Windows 7 BSOD while copying large files or downloading (especialy via wow client)

[KMozar]

Hey guys, I purchased a new PC just two days ago, and I have been having trouble with the computer suddenly losing network access. I restart the computer and it works fine again for a small amount of time and then the same thing occurs. Now it is also often resulting in bsods.

I was wondering if any of you lovely people may be able to offer some insight?

The networking is a Atheros 8151

It sounds like you're experiencing some frustrating issues with your new PC, particularly with network access problems and Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) occurrences. These issues can be quite concerning, especially on a new system. Let's try to troubleshoot this step by step. Here are a few steps you can take to address these issues:

Troubleshooting Network Access Loss:​

1. Check Network Cables & Connections: Ensure all physical network connections are secure.
2. Update Network Drivers:
   • Visit the manufacturer's website for your PC or the network card manufacturer to download the latest drivers.
   • Install the drivers and see if it resolves the network access issues.
   []Run Network Troubleshooter:
   • In Windows, you can run the built-in network troubleshooter. Right-click on the network icon in the taskbar and select "Troubleshoot problems."

     Troubleshooting BSODs:​

   []Check for System Updates: Ensure Windows is up to date with the latest updates. []Check for Memory Issues:

     Additional Considerations:​
