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.
Check with support of the manufacturer of the system (motherboard for customized systems manufacturer), their
online resources and the drivers and ask in their forums (if any) about known issues.
If the device is a check the module with the real device manufacturer. After checking with those
find resources with Atheros updates or re - install the latest version.

First of all, you need to update to win 8.1 and in itself, it may solve the problem.
This phenomenon was linked to your driver Atheros 2 year and liked. I remove the current one and install the latest driver available.

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}

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

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.

Hello
All attached files of the DMP are the bug check DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1) .
This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory with a high IRQL.
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

Hello
You still use Windows 8?
Microsoft has already released Windows 8.1 upgrade. You can find it in the App Store from Microsoft.
After the updated operating system upgraded, updated and install the drivers for Windows 8.1 such essentials as suggested by Toshiba.This error message should disappear at the end

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.

Satellite L850 - Intermittent crashing with BSOD
My Satellite L850-1LK crashes with the following error message intermittently: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys). An online search in some other forums suggested that I should update the driver for my Atheros wireless network adapter. I did - including uninstall it completely before reinstalling with the driver downloaded from Toshiba's own site.
I always get the BSOD, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. (I'm under 64-bit Windows 8)
Hello
What version of driver and what version of BIOS that you use?
I had the same problem but not with the Toshiba laptop.
I discovered that the installed McAfee utility causes the BSOD.
I suggest that you remove and replace with another software antivirus like Avast! or Avira antivir.
Both are free and can be downloaded for free.But of course I updated the Atheros Wlan driver too!
You must remove the driver and uninstall the driver properly package.
This can be done in Device Manager!
Then clean the operating system using CCleaner!
Reactivate the wireless lan, then install the latest driver.
Previous updates must have replaced only part of the package of driver causing the problem. -

Toay the morning, I was working in my laptop suddenly it stuck and aftersometimes it lights up with a blue screen and there are some practical information written as "Error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and there are also "0x000000D1" error code
Please help me, how fix this mistake without formatting?
A 0x000000d1 error occurs when one of the drivers that you have installed on your computer is damaged or behave in an unstable manner. To resolve this problem, you can restore your drivers, update your drivers or restore your system to the last known good configuration. If you have recently installed the new drivers and new software, plug-and-play, it is very likely that errors that you see are for this reason.
Update your drivers:
If you know what drivers you have not successfully updated for awhile, then the first step you should take is to update the drivers. A newer version of a driver is less likely to suffer from the instability of the system issues the way a former pilot might. Update your drivers generally is to go to the website of the product. If you have recently installed a new NVIDIA graphics card, for example, you go to the NVIDIA website and search for the article of their driver. To update your drivers with success, you will need to know the exact material or accessory model you have recently installed and the operating system you are using.
1. go on the manufacturer's website.
2. Locate the Drivers section.
3. Select your operating system.
4. Select the model of your equipment.
5. download and install.
Restore your drivers:
If the update of your drivers does not help, you may need to go in the opposite direction. If the material or accessory item that causes this problem is something that you have used for a while, it may be that the latest drivers are the cause of the problem. This is often true if you use an older operating system, such as Windows XP or Windows Vista. When you cancel a driver you will be rolling it back to an earlier version that you had used successfully in the past.
1. click on the Start button and navigate to the control panel.
2. open the equipment and audio.
3. open the Device Manager.
4. right click on the device there.
5. Select Properties.
6. click on the driver tab.
7. click on Driver Rollback.
8 follow the instructions.
Drivers for most corrupt file names:
athw8x.sys - Atheros Wireless LAN Driver
Igdkmd64.sys - Intel Graphics driver
Tcpip.SYS - Microsoft TCP/IP Driver (associated with network management)
Netio.Sys - network IO subsystem
Usbuhci.sys - Miniport USB UHCI driver
iaStor.sys - Intel storage drivers
rtwlane.sys - Realtek PCIEWireless LAN PCI-E NIC driver
If you are unsure which model of the component you have installed, you can usually find by accessing the Device Manager. If you are still unsure, it usually appears on the spec sheet provided by the manufacturer of your computer.

Here is a link for troubleshooting wireless connection, if you need.If the problem persists, I would change the channel on the router. Routers are able to communicate to your laptop on several different channels. Sometimes, this fixes the speeds.
Some say that it helps to fix this Microsoft Fix it.
