BSOD of death, possibly relating to power saving mode

[Inkedwolf]

Hi, I have a windows 7 x64 machine that seems to ritualistically crash when i run in power saving mode. The model is asus a53s, and crashing seems to be random, but always tied to when i run in asus power4gear batterysaver.

System specs
x64, original install, it's OEM, the hardware is six months old, and the original OS is installed.

I note you run McAfee.

McAfee is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
Suggest you remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST!

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

Though the most recent DMP file is from January, they all point to McAfee and are Related to NETwNs64.sys Wireless WiFi Link Driver from Intel Corporation

I would follow JMH'S suggestion and update the driver to the most recent. Yours is from 2010

Ok, will disable.

I didnt know mcaffee was a source of crashes like that. I know graphics and art programs, the antivirus that came with the machine, not so much.

Should I disable and test in both battery saver and entertainment mode?

Thanks!
