Every other day my computer randomly crashes with a blue screen. This happens
most frequently after I have woken up the computer after sleeping it. When I
turn it back on after the blue screen it says that there is some kind of
problem with wireless networking.

I have tried several different options, but nothing has worked so far.

I have a Gateway M-1615 laptop with an AMD Turion64

The Fault Bucket is something like these:
0x7f_8_RTL8187B+e633, type 0
WRONG_SYMBOLS, type 0
0x9F_IMAGE_RTL8187B.sys, type 0
0x9F_IMAGE_RTL8187B.sys, type 0
Fault bucket 0x7f_8_RTL8187B+e649, type 0
 
I am now having blue-screen crashes after waking up from hibernation, and it
is saying it is my Atheros wireless adapter. Did you just install Vista
Service Pack 1 and/or a video game? That is when my crashes started.

I believe that SOME drivers have to be reinstalled after installing
SP1.

Your Atheros driver might be one of them.
 
I don't do any gaming on my computer, but I installed the Service Pack a few
months ago. This problem with the wireless, however, has only been going on
for about the last month.

Today when I tried to start my computer after shutting in down, it was
unable to do so and had to reboot to an earlier period when it was working.

Should I try to reinstall the wireless driver again or what is best to do?

Thanks
