Hello

athw8x.sys is a driver for NIC Atheros CB42, CB43, MB42, MB43 of Qualcomm
Qualcomm Atheros Extensible wireless device driver. It is the WiFi device driver.

If this device was preinstalled when you purchased the computer, you will need to contact Toshiba support and ask about compatibility problems and get the latest driver for Windows 8 for this device.

    My PC had this problem since I bought it a few months ago, it is said:

    Your PC has encountered a problem and needs to restart. We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you.
    If you want to learn more, you can search online later to this error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys)

    We need the DMP file because it contains the single record of the sequence of events that led to the accident, what drivers have been loaded, and what has been loaded.

    WE NEED AT LEAST TWO FILES DMP TO SPOT TRENDS AND TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS.

    If you're overclocking (pushing components beyond their design) return you to default at least until the crash is resolved. If you don't know what it is that you're probably not overclocking.
    You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting in SafeMode (F8) with networking.
    If you are overclocking stop.  (chances are that if you are unsure if you are, you are not)

  • Windows 8: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys)

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop there are a little over 2 months. I don't really use it much apart from surfing the internet until about two weeks ago, when I took my laptop to the University to do work, when all of a sudden my laptop crashed? It came with (athw8x.sys) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error on a blue screen. It happened for the first time Monday, 7. It happened only once so far but I continued to bring my laptop to the University that I have exams and need access to my files but the problem is still ongoing and happens at least once a day and it seems to be crashing more often?

    Can someone help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Hi buraksav,

    The errors seem to be due to the e22w8x64.sys:

    BugCheck D1, {fffff880229c7000, 2, 0, fffff880067d8f9b}

    WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for e22w8x64.sys
    ERROR: Module load completed but symbols can be loaded for e22w8x64.sys
    Probably caused by: e22w8x64.sys (e22w8x64 + 19f9b)

    The e22w8x64.sys, which is dated July 10, 2012, is a driver for the NIC Killer (Bigfoot).

    There should be a newer driver for Windows 8 x 64 in the following link:

    http://www.msi.com/product/NB/GE60-0ND.HTML#/?DIV=driver&OS=WIN8

    If the error persists, try what is suggested in the following link:

    The application crashes in the errors on your system is dota.exe and what is suggested in the link (by disabling the Service Qualcomm-Atheros killer) can also help in your situation.

  • Windows error 8 - (athw8x.sys) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    Windows 8 crashes intermittently with error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys).

    I've seen other similar messages, but need advice on what I should specifically uninstall or change to stop what is happening?

    Hi rich,

    I understand that your plant and you get the error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys).
    This athw8x.sys file is associated with the driver for the Atheros Wireless card.

    To help you with the problem, we need additional information. Please answer the following questions:
    (1) what is the brand and model of the computer?
    (2) you receive the blue screen error when you use a particular application?
    (3) don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?
    (4) what antivirus application do you use?

    I suggest to visit the website of your computer manufacturer and install the updated for your Atheros wireless card drivers.

    If the problem persists, you can uninstall the same driver and restart the computer.
    To uninstall, refer to this step:

    a. press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc in the run prompt.

    b. expand the network adapters section, right-click on Atheros adapter and then uninstall it

    c. reboot, let Windows 8 detects the driver and install it by itself.

    If the problem persists, you may need to check with your computer for all drivers to Atheros manufacturer.

  • After 13 updated both the system rebooted and now as he begins to install XP it autorestarts. It will not recover to the last known good config and delivers a message of corrupted config file.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Frank

    You will share exactly what the message of the corrupt config file says?  My crystal ball takes off the second Wednesday of each month.
    If your system reboots continuously, the next time the system reboots, start tapping the F8 key until you see the menu Boot Options Advanced XP.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select:
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
    This will display the error message that you don't see when the system restarts.  This is what Windows is supposed to do when there a failure - it is supposed to automatically restart.  The error you see on the screen has your clues...
    If you do not see the menu Options start Advancded or you do not have to turn it off automatic restart on option system in the list of choices, you need to try again until you do.  Start typing the F8 key earlier and more frequently as your system begins to come alive.  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again.
    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)
    ?
    Most of the time (in recent memory) when there is a problem after installing Microsoft updates, the problem is because the computer was somehow afflicted before/when updates have been installed and updates simply bring to the surface a problem that was not evident before.
    If the last thing people remember is to install the updates from MS, it's am understandable reaction in some way involve updates for updating the post problems when things don't work properly afterwards and especially during the next reboot.
    Another reaction is to try to remember all of the updates you have installed and somehow uninstall the updates one of the XP Recovery Console until you find one who is 'responsible '.  Unless you noted all issues of update, it would be more difficult, but not impossible.  It is unlikely that practical or useful advice in most situations, but you can of course try it.
    Security updates sometimes holes patch XP and when security holes are patched (and XP is "tighter"), affliction can no longer do what is done, things to happen are no longer allowed to happen as a result of the strengthening of security, the system has now a new problem (especially when it initializes more) , and it seems that install updates broken system while in fact, it's just a coincidence.
    Another thing that can happen is that the Microsoft updates will change or update certain critical files on the XP system.  Depending on what your software antivirus or antimalware software is, these programs can interpret the new or updated files to day as being a threat or somehow infected and quarantine (effectively delete) files it thinks are wary.
    The next time you restart your system, you'll have some sort of a problem, or you do not start if the files are missing.  Once more, the problem is not with the updates, it's another condition on your system with your antivirus or antimalware programs you beautiful little (they could be aware of what like the new look of Microsoft files).
    You may have seen some or heard talk about some of these kinds of people, but not too intellectually stimulating general or scenarios of error after update:
    NTLDR is missing or corrupt, ntdetect.com is missing or damaged, ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged, hal.dll is missing or corrupt, etc.
    These types of errors are usually very easy to fix, but if you don't know what's happening, the temptation is to do a repair installation, or if none of these kinds of things are really necessary, completely reinstall your XP.  I have never done a system restore, a repair install or reinstalled XP in my life to solve any problem (but I did the process for practice).  These things are simply not options with me.
    Given that Microsoft sends many updates on the second Tuesday of each month (they call it "Patch Tuesday"), this means that the or to the second Wednesday of each month there is an increase of 'problems' in the field - in particular the types of problems "my computer does not start after you install the updates from Microsoft.  That day is also known as "exploit Wednesday".
    You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_Tuesday
    It is likely that if you have a problem like this or after the installation of MS updates, someone else has also had the same problem and understood what to do about it.  A problem here, is that no one knows what is your problem.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    A driver tried to access a pageable (or that is completely invalid) address while the IRQL was too high. This bug check is usually caused by drivers who used a wrong address
