Dell D400 W22n51.sys

    Hey,

    I've had 3 x Dell D400's blue screen with the following error

    Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    W22N51.sys
    Address F81C6708 base at F8102000 date stamp 40054B01.

    I booted to safe mode with networking and started backing up the users files then after some googling I've found that W22N51.sys is an intel wireless card on the laptop thats causing the problem so I've disabled the wireless card in the BIOS and the laptop no longer bluescreens

    I'm now left with a small problem I have no wireless cards working on 3 sales peoples laptops. I'm going to look for an updated driver to fix it but if anyone has come across this problem and resolved it please let me know.


    Thanks in advance

    If you got 3 with the same issue, and disabling the wireless stopped the BSOD's, then it's a good bet either reinstalling or updating the wireless card drivers AND software will fix the problem. Be sure to download the newest drivers from Dell, but even if they don't work, try different versions!
