driver irql_less_or_not_equal (e22w7x64.sys) already updated drivers

[warkel]

hey guys, i'm having this BSOD error: driver irql_less_or_not_equal e22w7x64.sys
unfortunately, it's not always consistent. I sometimes get differing BSODs as well.
It doesn't occur when doing anything particularly stressful on the computer.
for example, this latest crash just happened when I was browsing the internet (no videos/multimedia)

I've already used Guru3D's DDU to do a real clean uninstall of my GPU driver and did a clean install.

Hi,

It seems like you're Network adapter is the one causing the BSOD's. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to uninstall both LAN and wifi adapter from Device Manager.
- Once completely uninstalled, download and install the latest driver for both LAN and wifi adapter from the manufacturer site.
- Reboot your PC once the latest driver has been installed then test it again.

Hi,

It seems like you're Network adapter is the one causing the BSOD's. Here are some troubleshooting steps that may help.
- First is to uninstall both LAN and wifi adapter from Device Manager.

So I have 2 network devices:
1. My built in network adapter for ethernet connections;
2. A separate Wi-Fi adapter.

I don't use the Wi-Fi adapter anymore, so I just removed it.
For the built-in adapter, I tried looking online for the right driver to download. It's manufactured by Qualcomm, but there are so many driver options I didn't know which to pick. So I just went ahead and uninstalled it anyway, and hoped that Windows will download the right driver for it when I restarted.

So I've done that already, and Windows indeed has downloaded a driver. So far, my internet is working, so that seems to be ok. Now it's a matter of wait and see as to whether the issue happens again. I hope not

So it looks like it's still crashing. But the reason now is different:
