Bluetooth problems

My Bluetooth only works when i reboot the system after I had win7 on, looks like a driver issue ? If I boot cold start in to Zorin then no Bluetooth.
I had that problem with "wireless" years ago in Ubuntu but manage to find drivers that solved it.
Any one that now how to fix or where to get drivers??
I think the Bluetooth chip is Atheros or someting like that.
I'm running Zorin Os 5 64bit dual boot with Win7 on a Toshiba Qosmio x505 q8104, NVIDIA GTX 460M 1.5 gb , everything else works great, had some minor issues with the Mic got that solved with installing "Gnome alsa mixer".

Thanks mate, the additional drivers picked up the video card and added the Nvidia drivers.

Just discovered that the screensaver doesn't work, just goes dark then blink one time and back to "desktop" or whatever I have visible....
If any one knows the fix????

Does it fix your BT problems? Not really understand how GPU drivers can fix bluetooth.

add:
Screensaver is doing it randomly for each user as ive seen on the board...
