How come every time my AP is turned off or updated or anything it crashes my PC?

[BirdDad]

I get the blue screen any time ANYTHING happens to my access point. Like I updated it as soon as it was time for the AP to reboot I got the new improved BSOD. Any time anything happens on the network like a AP reboot or something my PC crashes.
Is there a setting somewhere where I can tell it not to do this? I have two PCs connected to the same AP both are Win 8.1 Pro. One crashes the other stays okay and lives through the ordeal.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

There's no reason your computer should be blue-screening when network connectivity drops momentarily. Reformat/reinstall.

 

[BirdDad]

Any other options out there perhaps a registry key?
Thank you

Could be memory problem?

Windows 8.1 does that. Don't know why.

::dave breaks out into hives::

That's not "normal behavior" for Windows; 8.1 or otherwise.

You'se guys have a problem. Or, as the boss at my first IT job said, "It doesn't just need to work, it needs to work well."

Windows 8.1 does that. Don't know why.

I haven't ever seen a BSOD cause by that, unless it was a flaky driver at work.


So, it usually would be faulty system files, faulty drivers, faulty memory/HD/SSD/NIC chip or PSU, but, if that is the only symptom, I doubt it is the PSU.

Yeah I am running windows 8.1 on two machines at work, our WiFi is notoriously flaky, it regularly drops out, and I have never experienced this.

 

[BirdDad]

It's whenever the AP is switched off or goes down, it is not wifi.

 

[mikeymikec]

IMO a flaky wifi driver seems to be the most likely possibility. I can't think of another possibility that makes any sense as far as the symptom goes, at least in a direct fashion.

Thank you

What, like a 21st Century variation of NOSMOKE.EXE?

 

[BirdDad]

it is not wifi, it is Ethernet connected.

 

[mikeymikec]

You've got a computer connected via ethernet to a wireless access point?

Does the WAP then communicate your data via wifi or via ethernet?

What NIC are you using?

Networks is networks. No difference except at the driver level.

:hmm:

Hey, driver level is where most blue screens happen.

:awe:

Reinstall your NIC drivers and/or replace your NIC.

Do the reformat/reinstall anyway because it's always the right thing to do.

no it is a wired connection from AP to router, ethernet, Killer e2200

I am using an Intel NIC now. Hopefully it will solve the problems
Thanks for the link.

It's Bitdefender causing it!
driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (bdfndisf6.sys)
is the error I get after some google it is a bitdefender problem.

You probably should have included that info in your first post. BSODs do actually usually tell you what piece of software crashed.

But whatever, we've all ignored the obvious. What I can't get over is that apparently you paid for antivirus software?

Nah. I just put in my time as a reimage monkey.
