Windows 8.1 BSOD: netwlv64.sys

Anonymous

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?

    Hi Mi3Ke,

    I use the same noti with the same problem.

    Please tell me what kind of new wireless card you use now.

    Even without BSOD?

    Be very happy to hear from you

    Start here:

    Thanks. Looks like (in the USA) 8.0 will be supported for 24 months after 8.1 general availability - so 11/13/2015. I can probably deal with that... But hopefully MS or Intel will fix the driver (or whatever changed in 8.1 that caused it to start failing) before then.  There are some features in 8.1 I'd like to use.

    I'm seeing the same problem. And it was rock solid on Windows 8.0... I like some of the improvements in 8.1, but I'm tempted to roll back to 8.0. Anyone have any idea how long 8.0 will continue to be supported?
