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?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I also have this issue on a Dell Latitude D630. None of the workarounds have resolved this problem for me.
Lame that MSFT has not resolved this headache that has affected many of us.
Does anyone know of a mini USB network card that is supported by Windows 8.1?
It happens to me as well and luckily it at least tells me the driver involved in the crash since I don't remember seeing that before. I will try disabling WiFi and using the Ethernet adapter to see if it stops crashing. Luckily I have the option when not traveling. For others I would recommend to purchase a $10 USB Ethernet adapter with 8.1 supported drivers. I know not the best advice but if that intel driver is 4 years old now it is not going to get any better in 8.2!
What had worked for me is the advice from "Irgi02" on page 5 of current thread:
I got it fixed for my Dell M1330 by using an old Vista Driver:

No more BSOD since 4 weeks (since Dec 4th).
The old 11.5.0.32 driver works perfectly for me for months. Try it out (uninstall your current wireless network card driver and additional software like Intel PROSet Wireless first).

*FIXED*
Dead easy, after weeks of persevering I simply binned nasty Windows 8 even more nasty Office 2013 and put Windows 7 Office 2010 back – what a relief. No more hassle.
I work in IT and just need my laptop to work and now it does just like it did before. Windows 8 Office 2013, what massive **** up, Windows ME all over again, the one no-one ever bought…
I tried a tip someone posted somewhere because of a Win 7 problem.
In the device manager, go to power management options for the 4965AGN adapter. Uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
This seems to be working for me on Lenovo R61.
At first, after doing this, I got this problem that the laptop wouldn't rest the screen or start the screen saver. But after I uninstalled the wireless mouse driver and reinstalled it, everything works fine.
