My Windows 8.1 Pro running on HP 8510w mobile workstation keeps crashing with a Blue Screen of Death STOP error on random accasions.
Bugcheck code 0x000000d1, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL in netwlv64.sys
The driver is related to the built-in Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN WLAN module.
This is a fresh installation of Windows 8.1 Pro. Using default Microsoft driver for the wireless module:
Driver Provider: Microsoft
Driver Date: 15.08.2010
Driver Version: 13.3.0.137
There is no driver for Windows 8.1 provided by Intel for this module. The one from Microsoft obviously does not work properly and crashes Windows 8.1.
There is another issue with this driver not re-connecting after standby but this I was able to resolve by disabling 802.11n Mode in advanced device properties (device manager). But this is another topic.
There seems to be something seriously wrong with the driver Microsoft provides and Internet research provides many results about people having the same issue. Does anybody have an idea how to fix the issues?

2015-01-29T00:15:21+00:00 The fix is to disable your paging file. The system crashes because it puts the netwlv64.sys file into the page file when its not in use. However when it tries to get it back it just gets a bunch of junk data so a stop condition is asserted.
The fix stops the file being unloaded from ram to start with.

2015-02-21T06:59:49+00:00 After years without any BSODs (page file disabled), my 8510w suddenly starting BSODing today on netwlv64.sys. Then I noticed my battery was down at 9% (batt won't charge anymore), which is below the 10% default system low battery level. I changed the low power level to 6% and they BSODs went away. There looks to be a few different ways to hit this crash. Driver: Intel 4965AGN wifi driver: 13.3.0.137 8/15/2010.
