BSOD = "Limited Access" on wireless network

A few days ago I booted up my HP Pavilion dv4-2049wm laptop. Windows update needed to reboot, due to my postponing it for a few days, so I let it reboot and I started getting blue screens.

After a few restarts (getting the BSOD every time), I booted into the last known good configuration. It booted up fine, but now I can no longer connect to my network (wired and wireless). It sees my wireless connection, but states "Limited Access."

Things I have tried:

Uninstalled/Updated network drivers from HP's site, specific to my laptop model.

Uninstalled all windows updates that were installed before BSOD

Flushed, registered, renewed dns via command prompt

Reset Winsock via command prompt

Tried a "clean" boot

Ran Windows Check Disk

Ran Windows Memory Tester (Unsure of exact name)

On the day of the crash I attempted to do a restore, but the earliest restore I could do was at the time of the windows update (same time as BSOD).

One thing I did notice is that the "Teredo Tunneling Pseudo_Interface" listed under network adapters is no longer there. Not sure what that might have to do with anything.


I ran this tool (Who Crashed/Crashdump) and here is my log:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On your computer a total of 26 crash dumps have been found. Only 21 could be analyzed. Only 15 are included in this report. 2 third party drivers have been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

atikmpag.sys (AMD multi-vendor Miniport Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.)

athrx.sys (Atheros Extensible Wireless LAN device driver, Atheros Communications, Inc.)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss...no idea what to do.

Thanks

We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.

If you are overclocking STOP

You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.

To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.


To ensure minidumps are enabled:
* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.

Attached is the DMP file.(Retrieved from Windows\Minidump" folder)

I am not overclocking.

My laptop is no longer crashing. When I was getting consecutive BSOD a couple days ago, I then booted into last know good configuration. I have not been getting any more BSOD's. However, the result is now I have "limited access" to my network.

I made the necessary changes to ensure minidumps are enabled, and rebooted my laptop.

Thank you,

Justin

How To Find Drivers:
- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads



3-Your athrx.sys file was implicated in virtually all of these. This should take care of itself when you update the o\old drivers.

Hey Zig,

Just some clarification on the 2 old drivers. Is the list of .sys files that you posted the makeup of those 2 old drivers?

Or do I need to individually google each of those .sys files and find out what driver they correspond to, and then update that driver?

Just want to make sure I do it correctly.

Thanks

Or do I need to individually google each of those .sys files and find out what driver they correspond to, and then update that driver?

Just want to make sure I do it correctly.

Thanks

Each *.sys file is a separate driver. Yes there are a lot that need updating. I suspect you upgraded from a prior OS.

Ok, so this was probably the least fun thing I have done in quite a while.

I was not able to update everything listed. I listed the reasons why next to each file.

As far as updating to SP1, with my "limited access" I am unable to connect to my wireless network. Cannot connect via wired either. The drivers/files I was able to update I put in bold type.

OK, if you can get the drivers highlighted in red, you should be ok. Sorry I didnt do this for you earlier. It is one of the reasons that MS and most of us recommend clean installs.

I appreciate it.I purchased the laptop brand new with Windows 7 installed already. Have never updated the OS

Also, if you have time. Can you look at the info I wrote, regarding the files you just put in red text. There were reasons I could not update those.

Thanks

Well....to add to the issues.

I installed all of the driver updates (bold text), rebooted. And now it is hanging at the "Starting Windows" screen

The most important on that list is probably the Atheros driver. First, download it from Atheros 2011 Wireless LAN Driver HP Pavilion dv4-2049wm Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

Now, I will give some information that most do not know because they have not had an Atheros driver on their systems themselves or maybe they were just lucky not to have the problem that many have updating these drivers. The Atheros drivers for some reason cause problems in Windows. When you install them to overwrite the current drivers via the install package that vendors provide, they don't stick. I do not know why. Also, if a user tries to update them through device manager, for some reason, Windows informs the user that the system already has the most up to date drivers. Again, I do not know why. There is a special procedure that must be followed for these devices to update them properly.

Now that you have downloaded the latest Atheros package, here are the steps to install it so it sticks and actually updates the drivers for the device.

  1. Click Start Menu
  2. Right Click My Computer/Computer
  3. Click Manage
  4. Click Device Manager from the list on the left
  5. Expand Network adapters
  6. Right click the Atheros network device
  7. Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
  8. Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device and hit OK
  9. Do not restart your computer
  10. Install the downloaded driver for the Atheros network device.

Alternatively:
  1. Login as an adminstrative user.
  2. First, download the latest driver. Then do the next steps.
  3. Click Start Menu
  4. Click Control Panel
  5. Click Hardware and Sound
  6. Click Device Manager (the last link under Devices and Printers)
  7. Expand Network adapters
  8. Right click the Atheros network device
  9. Click Uninstall (do not click OK in the dialog box that pops up after hitting Uninstall)
  10. Put a tick in Delete driver software for this device and hit OK
  11. Do not restart your computer
  12. Install the downloaded driver for the Atheros network device.

Followed your steps exactly. A window popped up that says, "This program might not have installed correctly"

There are two options to select:

- Reinstall using recommended settings

- This program installed correctly

Check the date on the driver through Device Manager. Open Device Manager using the steps in my previous post. Then right click on the Atheros device and click Properties. Go to the Driver tab and check the date and post back with the date you see.

Well the driver was gone, because I uninstalled it using your steps. This window popped up after I installed the Atheros driver that you put in the link from HP's site.

I attempted re-installing the driver, specifying a different folder for the driver to be in and I didn't get the window this time. The driver is now there(Atheros A5009 802.11a/g/n WiFi Adapter 2/24/2011); however now my laptop is not seeing any wireless networks.

So i repeated the steps. The driver installed just fine. It sees my wireless network. However, it is still saying "limited access" and I am unable to get online.
