atheros ar5005g causes windows 10 to have system interrupts and 100% CPU usage

Hi,

I have an ACER Aspire 5100-3357 originally on Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, then free upgrade to Windows 10. The install took 24 hours and very slow processing after and not full functionality. Task Manager showed
high CPU usage due to system interrupts. Had BSOD. Started disabling devices and found the Atheros AR5005G wireless network adapter when disabled returned all to normal. Appears to be functioning fully except no wifi. Tried to download "Driver Detective",
but did not solve problem. There are a bunch of sites out there claiming to have the correct driver. Tried to re-enable driver and CPU usage and system interrupts reoccurred. Tried to update driver, driver most current per windows. Have not contacted Microsoft
Support yet. Any suggestions on getting the right driver that will not cause CPU usage and system interrupts problems?

Thanks.

Tim

Hi,

The high CPU usage that you are experiencing may be due to an incompatible driver. For better assistance, we would like to gather more information.

• Can you send us a screenshot of your Task Manager?
• What is the current build and version of your Windows 10? You may check it by following these steps: Press
  Windows key + R, type "winver" and hit
  Enter.
• Other than updating your driver, did you make any recent changes on your computer?

Regards.
