Windows Vista Bsod. Rt61.sys

Hello there..

I've been getting a lot of system crashed. Im currently using
D-link DWL-G510 Wireless G Desktop adapter which uses the file
rt61.sys file. I've used the Windows debugger tool, it seems to
me that its the file rt61.sys which is causing the problem to occur
Before I was using this card, I was using a Level-one wireless adapter which was a Level-one NIC 0301 or similar, and the debugger said that this driver: netr6164.sys which it uses, could be the cause of the system crash.
I havent been able to make a complete debug with the netr6164.sys, says something about it being wrong symbols even when Im connected to the internet. But since this is two completely seperate drivers I suspect that its not those drivers that cause this problem, but what could the problem be then?

I'll post the debug log here:

Hi and welcome to the BBS,

Have you looked in Control Panel -> Programs and Features for uninstallers for those drivers/software (Level-one and D-link)?

 

Yes I have and there are drivers for the D-link card, but for the Level-one there is'nt, since I removed them completely when I uninstalled the Level-one card.
Are you suggesting I uninstall the driver? I've recently installed the drivers for the D-link card, and by recently I mean a few days ago. And the problem still persisted. So if I uninstall the drivers, then what? Because these are the latest drivers for the D-link card I could find (no x64 drivers on the driver cd).

 

The debugs always relate to a network driver? If so, those drivers would be the ones to concentrate on.

Would it seem to, say, coincide with installing SP1?

I think I would try booting into Safe Mode and uninstall the D-Link there.

I would do updates of other major drivers that may be involved, firstly the motherboard chipset drivers and also the Ethernet (LAN) drivers. Actually I would do those after uninstalling the D-link and before reinstalling it again.

Matt

 

Yes they have. Did you look at the debuglog?

About the SP1, the SP1 has been installed prior to the D-link drivers,
and it was the first major update to a clean install, which was roughly 3months back. So I doubt it has any thing to do with installing SP1, because there have not been any problems with the Level-one after installing SP1. This problem just suddenly came out of the blue, I think it might have to do with a windows update.

There is an onboard network adapter on the motherboard, but I have deactivated those to avoid any conflict, since I cannot physically remove them.

The only driver as of now that is involved is the rt61.sys, at least that is what the debuglog shows.

I think it would be worthwhile to mention that the bsod have until now only occurred when the D-link wireless has been put on heavy load.

If I then go safe mode and uninstall the rt61.sys, that leaves me with no internet, because as I said the driver I have for it is the latest x64 driver.
And there are none x64 drivers on the cd. Should I try to find an older driver for it, which is x64?

"...when it is under heavy load..." That sort problem would make me concentrate on the drivers. I wouldn't expect much load on the hardware itself but the wrong drivers can cause the electronics to overheat. These drivers can be shared, in a quick search I see it referenced for Linksys and Belkin. Since you have been installing similar drivers, it is probably that the version used by one is not being overwritten by the other (that's the way I see driver problems like this).

Yes, but that is to remove the old drivers completely. When you reboot, reinstall the most appropriate drivers. If the Add New Hardware wizard runs when you boot into normal mode, click Cancel. Run the driver installer when you get to the desktop. Edit: although you should check for instructions on how to install the D-Link drivers.

You have "deactivated" the onboard network hardware. They can be disabled in the BIOS/startup settings so that resources are not allocated to them. Check in Programs and Features for drivers/software for the onboard LAN and uninstall those (and I would also do that in Safe Mode).

These sorts of problems do come up when you are changing similar types of hardware. Like I said, it is probably due to the version of the driver files or some type of of "managing" software.

I might not rule out that it is some type of firewall problem. For example, my LAN system has a NAT type of firewall and a software program that runs it, but it will only run my onboard LAN, if I disable my onboard LAN, I would need to (should) uninstall the NAT software.

Matt

 

Hello again..

I've done as you've instructed..
Booted into safe mode and uinstalled all network adapters, including the wireless
adapter. I made sure that the drivers were uninstalled from the system.
After that I disabled the onboard lan and booted into normal mode.
I installed the newest motherboard chipset drivers and then I installed
The D-link wireless adapter. I did'nt get the Bsod for a few days until today,
but I did'nt put the wireless adapter on heavy networking until today.

So I still have the problem, what can be done now?

Thanks in advance for your help

 

It sounds like you are having a little problem getting a driver for you 64bit system. Could the driver not be the correct one? (Sorry, but I have tried Win XP 64bit, I run Vista 32bit and drivers is a reason why I would not go Vista 64bit yet.)

What is doing the "heavy load "? Seems you are downloading (or uploading) at maximum rate. Look at the download/upload program/s, they may be overloading your network system.

Matt
