Re: Atheros LAN Driver preventing Windows from closing! Help!

Hello

I've owned a Toshiba Satellite L655-1HC for 6 months now and have always faced this problem where if I stop or restart my computer, it'll just say disconnect then stop, then the circle of rotation would just freeze and the laptop will never restart or shutdown unless I force it to holding the power button.

I always thought that this might be a program that I installed but today, I'm really annoyed with this problem and decided to do a test.

I formatted my laptop and installed a clean version of Windows 7 Professional (64 bit), I began to install the drivers that I acquired from the Toshiba Support Web site one by one and then restart to see what was the culprit.

It was with Atheros LAN Driver v1.0.0.26. This is the latest driver available on the support section of the Toshiba Web site for my laptop. As soon as I uninstalled it, I was able to reboot normally again and the laptop worked fine.

I have the latest version of the BIOS version 2.20 installed and all the updates of Windows with the installation of ANY software whatsoever at the moment.

Please help me find a updated driver for my laptop which will not have this problem.

My laptop specs are as follows:

TOSHIBA SATELLITE L655-1HC

Intel Core i5 M 480 @ 2.67 / 2.93 GHz.
8 GB RAM DDR3
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB graphics card
15.6 "screen Toshiba TruBrite® HD TFT
Hitachi 500 GB (7200 RPM) HARD drive
Windows 7 Professional (x 64)

Thank you in advance.

The same thing happens when your laptop is factory settings and preinstalled original Toshiba recovery image?

When you're spending your laptop connected to the network via a LAN cable?
This occurs when the computer is disconnected from the network?

    computer automatically starts in safe mode without prompting, a problem with your computer can prevent Windows to start normally

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.
