BSOD - nwifi.sys

1809 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  usasma
Hi

One of our computers running Windows Vista repeatedly crashes with a BSOD. I have attached one of the minidump files - I have opened this up in windbg which suggests that it is down to nwifi.sys. (The virus scanner on this PC is avant free antivirus)

The computer has a Belkin USB Wifi adapter but this problem appears to be consistent with Spotify being open on the PC.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue?

Thanks
Justin

NOTE: Please provide the following information for a more detailed response: http://www.techsupportforum.com/for...-instructions-windows-7-and-vista-452654.html

As this memory dump blames wifi and your wifi drivers date from 2007, I'd suggest updating the wifi drivers to a more recent version. If a more recent version isn't available, then:
- download a fresh copy of the drivers
- uninstall the current copy from the system
- install the fresh copy

Also, update the system to SP2. To do this:
Installing Vista Service Pack 2
1. Visit the PC manufacturer's website and update ALL drivers. DO NOT use Windows Update or the "Update drivers" function of Device Manager.
2. Check Device Manager for any unknown/disabled devices - if there are unknown/disabled devices, fix them with the latest drivers from the device manufacturer's website (not the PC Manufacturer)
3. Visit Windows Update and get all updates
4. Visit Windows Update and get Service Pack 2 (usually under Important Updates). Read these notes for installing SP2: Learn how to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2)
5. Visit Windows Update and get any other available updates
You also have several other older drivers that need to be updated. Check the dates in this listing:
3RD PARTY DRIVERS PRESENT IN THE DUMP FILES
- Create a System Restore Point prior to doing any of this. DO NOT mess with the drivers themselves - leave the Windows\System32\drivers directory alone unless we specifically direct you to it!
- Please either update these drivers from the device manufacturer's website - or uninstall them from your system. Reference links are included below.
- DO NOT use Windows Update or the Update Drivers function of Device Manager.
- Please feel free to post back about any drivers that you are having difficulty locating.
- Windows Update exceptions may be noted below for Windows drivers.
