• 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.

• Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys)

  I got this error for a few days already and it keep crashing. DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys). I need help as soon as POSSIBLE. I copied the contents of minidump and the MSinfo32 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0wuCqefcmcPR3gzdlVoYVRoSGM/edit?usp=sharing

  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.

  

• 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:

  http://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user/TechFAQdetail.aspx?formid=3054

  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.

• DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (athw8x.sys) BSoD - driver problem

  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)
  Is there someone out there have this problem with their Toshiba Satellite L850 as well? I'm looking for the solution for this BSoD as happens more often recently :(
  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)

  To allow us to help you with symptoms BSOD on your computer, download the contents of your folder "\Windows\Minidump".

  The procedure:

  * Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another location (temporary) somewhere on your machine.

  * Zip up the copy (compress)

  * Please download to a service like Skydrive or "Rapidshare" to share files and put a link to them in your answer.

  Link to find out how to download below.

  http://www.WikiHow.com/use-SkyDrive

  To ensure the minidumps are enabled:

  * Click Start, in the search box, type: sysdm.cpl, press ENTER.

  * On the Advanced tab, click Startup and recovery... Settings button.

  * Make sure that automatically restart is unchecked.

  * Under the writing debugging information header, select image partial memory (256 KB) in the list box drop-down (varies from 256kb).

  * Ensure to that small Dump Directory is listed as % systemroot%\Minidump.

  * OK your way out.

  * Reboot if changes have been made.

  Please also run MSinfo32 and download the output as well.

  To run MSinfo32 please go to start > run > MSinfo32

  Go to 'file', 'save' and download the PDF is saved with the DMP

  System specs are extremely useful then please include everything you know.

  I've read about it online but do not understand because it seems that everyone had different problems or newspapers. Could someone help me solve my problem?

  These accidents were related to the corruption of memory (probably caused by a driver).

  Please run these tests to check your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.

  
  

  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.

  
  

  Since then, it is more likely to be a pilot run everything first.

  A few days before I installed a StaadPro v8i program on my laptop.

  Then I got a blue error screen.  When I checked the dump files it shows and there is a problem in the tcpip.sys driver.  After you restart windows, it runs when I connect to the internet using LAN.

  Your operating system is corrupted. To eliminate the problems on your computer, you need to restore factory settings and rebuild your computer system.

  A recovery of the system partition contains a copy of the operating system as it was when the computer was purchased new. Using the copy of Windows 7, you can restore the computer to factory settings. Of course you must back up your data files to an external before restoring support as the process reformats the disk thus clearing all existing files before writing new files.

  Page 40 of the Manual:
  FTP://FTP.Hasee.com/English/Handbook/R14K%20English.PDF

  The download takes time, be patient.

  Instant recovery software

  No need to find a recovery CD to restore the settings of your software, it is already preinstalled on your hard drive for laptop. Simply follow the steps below and restore your laptop to factory settings.

  How to access your instant recovery software

  1. turn on your computer and press F4when Twinhead logo appears.
  2. click on Protect/recover the menu on the left.
  3. click on FirstWare Recover Pro Phoenix.
  4. the system restarts and will take 15 seconds until the next step is displayed.
  5. of Phoenix FirstWare Recover Pro Quick Start, click on the chosen backup.
  6. starting at Recover Pro, factory restore is the default selection. Click on restore.
  7. from the command prompt Recover Pro, click Yes.
  8 FirstWare Recover Pro will load.
  9. click on the disc to recover.
  10 prompt appears, click Yes.
  11. the recovery begins.

  Source: Page 40 manual

  When you have restored to factory settings you need to configure an internet connection, install anti-virus software, updating all the drivers from the web site of Hassee and install Windows all updates. Run Disk Cleanup and defragmentation of the intervals.

  You should then be able to reinstall the programs. With this in mind, make a list programs must be installed and make sure you have the means to do so. Make a list of what you need to do and the order in which you intend to do each task. This will help you greatly when you perform the operation. If you have the second computer available when you rebuild your computer system, it helps if you reach a problem and need to check online.

• Can Windows 8 driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (Netio.sys), anyone help me?

  Hello

  I read a lot of posts on the same problem and I actually tried some of the 'solutions', but my laptop always breaks down. It crashes on average twice a week.

  In case you're going to ask the minidump file, I have the file zipped and uploaded here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/download/c4zf8o7mhcc085d/022114-32359-01.zip

  I'm not very good with computers, so I don't really know if it is the right file. I just went to C: / / Windows/minidump

  On the antivirus, I used two of them both before and I uninstalled the other, but the problem persists. I also learned that the problem was caused by the 3rd party antivirus and many suggested to uninstall all 3rd party antivirus and just use windows defender. I'm not really sure if the use of your computer with windows defender only is sure however.

  I hope someone can enlighten me on this subject. I would be very happy. I was facing this problem since end of 2013. I uninstalled actually may programs already.

  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.

  By default, the fault of accidents is NETIO.sys which is network IO subsystem. This is not the real cause of the accident and usually when we associate network crashes like that, it is caused by one of two things:

  1 network drivers themselves must be updated.

  2. 3rd party antivirus or firewall software cause of NETBIOS conflicts.
