BSOD Stop code: DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
I have windows 10 on a lenovo laptop and recently I stopped being able to utilize WIFI and I keep getting the BSOD Stop code: DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL What failed: Netwsw00.sysThe laptop will work properly when it is hardwired to the Gateway. To save everyone's time. I will list below all of the options I have found on the internet but none have worked.
- Performed DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth command followed by DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to clean things up. Finally I ran SFC /SCANNOW.
- In the Device Manager there is not an option to rollback driver. Also Intel no longer supports Centrino (R) Wireless-N 1000 network driver nor does Lenovo.
- Went into System Configuration and did a clean boot.
- Booted in Safe Mode
- I did Check For Updates. I was up to date.
- I reinstalled Windows
- There are no new drivers for Centrino (R) Wireless-N 1000 and I tried installing the driver that was found on my computer.
- I deleted Centrino (R) Wireless-N 1000 network, rebooted to let the software replace it.
None of these have allowed me to add my WIFI access back. Does anyone have any other suggestions or do you think the wireless card is broken?
