Windows 10: BSOD caused by nwifi.sys

Hey for the past week, am getting a BSOD at random intervals due to nwifi.sys. I know this has to do something with my wifi card, so when i tried to update or rollback my driver it crashes again. I even tried sfc /scannow and it showed no errors. When i tried DISM there was problem downloading the image, so i used windows10upgrade9252.exe to resolve corrupted system files. Nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas now, so could you please help me with this issue? I'm attaching my DM log files here: Attachment 129268

BSOD troubleshooting

Hi,

I have been recently getting BSOD, usually when I start the Computer. There is always stated these nwifi.sys a driver_irql_not_less_or_equal during the BSOD. I tried to follow the instructions given and uploaded a few files in this folder:

dmp

Could you check if you can find the cause for BSOD? If you need something else please let me know

Kind regards,

Petteri

 

nwifi.sys BSOD windows 10

Hello,

I have recently been experiencing a BSOD with the nwifi.sys failure and the stop code DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I have attached the minidump files as well at the end of this post.

Thanks for your time.

nwifi.sys.zip

 

Unfortunately, your lone .dmp file is damaged/corrupted. Some of the drivers are showing dates from the 1980s, and one even shows a year of 2037. The stack for the .dmp is unreadable.

We really could use more than one .dmp, anyway. You may have to wait until you've had several (don't do any disk cleaning in between) and then upload the files again. It's easier to spot patterns with multiple .dmp files.

 

Sorry for the delayed reply. I have had four more crashes yesterday, attaching their dump file now:Attachment 129810 . Hope this helps you in figuring out the problem. Forgot to mention this before, before the system crashes my internet speed reduces drastically to almost like using a dsl line and then it crashes.

 

ALL four dumps point to nwifi.sys

Yeah i figured that out, but my problem is, i cant even try to roll back or update that driver because the moment i select it my system crashes. So what should i do?

 

Nwifi.sys is a Wifi driver from Windows (as the name implies).

My suggestions, update the network drivers and your VPN.

 

First try to delete those drivers from system via Safe Mode.

Thanks, i was fianlly able to uninstall the driver via safe mode without networking.
