I a laptop running Windows 7 SP1 64 bit. It is an HP Pavilion dm4. I have had it for a couple of years and I recently started getting blue screens whenever it goes into sleep mode. I uploaded the dump files to the Microsoft Support forum and everyone has indicated that these crashes are related to Netwsw00.sys Intel® Wireless WiFi Link Driver. They said the solution is to update the driver. In looking at Device Manager I see that the driver version I have for the Intel Centrino Wireless N 6150 is 15.1.0.18, which according to what I can find, is in fact the latest version Intel has available, despite being 3 years old?
When I run the Intel Driver Update Utility it only tells me I need to update the Chipset (from 9.2.0.11 to 10.0.24). However, after I download and finish the install it eventually says it has failed. I am unsure if the Chipset is related to the driver? I assume not.
At the end of the day, what I really need to know is how to remove the driver the is probably causing my computer to crash, and to properly update or reinstall a new one.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
