Windows 10: BSOD netio.sys related

Hello,

I'm struggling to solve regular BSOD issues. It feels like I'm having 3-4 BSOD crashes each time I use my laptop. I never had these issues with Windows 8.1, but they have arrived with the Windows 10 update. I've not noticed a particular event that causes these crashes, as they have occured primarily during general internet browsing, and on occasion whilst playing a Steam based computer game. The error messages I've noted are:

system thread exception not handled (netio.sys)
(This makes up the majority of error messages)

driver IRQL not less or equal (netio.sys)
(Occassional)

Things I believe I have tried, based on internet searches are:

Uninstall Zone Alarm Firewall
Update drivers for Network adapters

My computer abilities are limited beyond this. Any guidance or suggestions would be most welcome.

:)

 

Windows 10 System Crash

The error I am receiving is Driver IQRL Not Less or Equal (Netio.SYS). BSOD appears and system reboots. Please help.

First BSOD I've had in Windows 10, didn't have it with 10240 but I'm running the latest official build... Not sure if that's the cause or not, as I've been running it for a few days and no issue until now.

Outside the usual ntoskrnl.exe BlueScreenView points to NETIO.sys, netr28x.sys and tcpip.sys...

Ran update driver for my wireless card, says it's got the latest drivers already... updated my Ethernet drivers, even though I don't use the Ethernet.

I've read that any time it points to the NETIO.sys it's very likely driver related, but I don't know...

I can provide the dump file, etc. if necessary.

 

Looks like Zonealarm may be the cause.

Please uninstall Zonealarm and use the built-in Windows Defender (it's what I use) for a while and see if thta resolves the BSOD. If stay with Windows Defender or find a different Anti-virus / Firewall program to use.
