Wifi driver is killing my pc basically
Getting straight to the point,I'm having a issue with my wifi driver. What started off small and happened
from time to time grew into something big and annoying and keeps happening every few hours. Basically my wifi driver would basically just crash. I'm using "Intel r centrino r wireless n 2230".Basically this driver has began to cause quite a bit of damage and heres how. After the wifi drops,there is no chance of re-enabling it.
Any attempts to do this have been met with failure. I've tried running the troubleshooter just in case only for it to tell me that it "Can't find any problems". I find this weird since the driver just up-and-quit so mmhm..
When my PC closes it crashes it then too which is really stupid but it does. After looking into the blue screens it was caused by "Driver power state failure". What faulty driver do i have? The wifi driver. Theres more to it.Any and all attempts,After the driver crashes,(Disable or uninstalling it) through the device manager have been met with complete and utter failure. When attempting to do so Device manager will simply freeze and crash. Things really start going sour. I've done a check for viruses,I've even taken to a tech and nothing. How can one driver cause this much damage? I can't just not use it anymore. Not sure what to do at this point.
Sure i would like to keep using the internet but i can't let this piece of crap driver keep crashing everything.
Overall performance of the computer is great and operates normally. When the driver crashes the computer still functions properly. Only when device manager is launched will there be freezing. When resetting the PC it will have to be done with the power button (after the driver has crashed). Attempting to reset the "Proper" way will be met with a blue screen and error "Power_driver_state_failure". After doing the logs it points to the wifi driver since things tend to go wrong after it crashes. I don't have any other drivers that do this or cause my pc so act this way. It's annoying and i'm ready to rip my face off over it tbh. Here is what i've done so far
- Reinstalled the driver
- Checked for other drivers
- Uninstalled unknown devices (Recently)
- Checked for a driver update (Failed)[Told me it was "up to date" but the driver itself dates back to 2015]
- Preformed several virus scans
- Ran registry cure pro to correct any registry errors (Seems fine)
What i'm about to do
- Run more virus scans
- Run more registry scans
- Re-install it (Again..)
- Get lenovo support to talk to me (In the morning)
- Rage
- Disable it for tonight just to see if it crashes in the morning
