How do you manage repairs for remote staff? Networking.Hello, I am IT director for a medium sized company (100 PC) based in Canada and starting 2 years ago like many corporations, we gone from a 100% local business to 75% remote employee working from home from anywhere in Canada and even worldwide (I have emp. Remotely lockdown/wipe corporate computer when employee terminates? Security.Moving the computer does provoke the error, however only when I move it a distance >1 foot. Shaking the computer has had no effect, and I did not want to do it past a certain threshold (hinges for the screen to be concerned about. I have no Bluetooth devices, so the functionality of the card on that level is largely irrelevant to me. I did not see any clips to hold the card in place at the time, so I did not expect any I will reopen the computer and check for them after posting this. I did not notice any snaps when I inserted the card, but I did insert it firmly. Of course, I "installed" it when I removed the card and put it back in.

While I appreciate any last advice, I suppose this thread should be closed following any last Saltgrass: I did not install the wireless card myself, no. This would make it almost certainly a hardware problem, and definitely not in the purview of these forums. However, the computer has gone up to two days without dropping a connection before, so I will keep an eye on it and mark the thread solved if it stays stable for a few days.īooted the machine to an Ubuntu drive connectivity problems continued in the alternate OS. I opened up the laptop today and re-seated the network card connections have been stable since. It seems to have been a hardware problem.

However, there was no indication of what was causing the drivers to fail, so I eventually reached a dead end. A service called netwnb64 was failing to find the Event IDs of several events (5002, 5007, 7001, and more), indicating that the drivers holding that information were missing. WLAN Autoconfig was indeed terminating and failing to restart I checked Event Viewer to see what was being thrown immediately after the WiFi cut out. I also used multiple rolled-back versions as well, all to no avail. I installed drivers from Intel's website whenever I reinstalled drivers. Unfortunately MSI only had Windows 8.1 drivers available (though the computer was listed as Windows-10-compatible on their site).
Neither prevented the Saltgrass: I uninstalled the drivers multiple times, yes.

I turned off the Power Saver option on the wireless adapter's driver settings, both when the machine had Windows 8.1 and when it had 10. Not exactly sure which diagnostic files you will need, but I've attached msinfo32 and the results of an ipconfig (before and after adapter failure) to start.įirstly, thank you Trouble and Saltgrass for your responses. Reverted to the PC's original OS (Windows 8.1 64bit) Changed Advanced settings (Ht Mode, Roaming Aggressiveness, and many more I found lots of advice online haha)

Updated latest Windows 10 drivers off of Intel's website Neither of these symptoms occur until after the driver for the device is not found. The computer will also fail to shut down, barring a hard shutdown.
anything plugged in will continue to work, but if I disconnect and reconnect a device (say, a mouse) the computer will not recognize the device. Every time I have done this, the card crashes.Īdditionally, whenever the machine displays that there are no drivers installed for the adapter, my USB ports fail as well. move it more than a foot in any direction. The only way I seem to be able to provoke a crash is to move the computer in space, i.e. However, the WiFi always crashes again, given time. When I reboot the computer, things return to normal. If I force quit and return to Device Manager, the description has changed to "There are no drivers installed for this device." This is what I mean when I say the drivers are, "disappearing."

When I try to interact with the driver in any way, however (change an Advanced setting, try to update drivers, etc.) Device Manager will freeze. Whenever I look at the wireless adapter (it is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260), the device description is that it is working properly. What is strange, however, is the behavior in Device Manager.
If I try to disconnect and reconnect, the connection fails and the only remaining network disappears (it is as if there are no available WiFi networks in range). However, that connection becomes Limited, and I am unable to access any websites, download, etc. At seemingly random times my visible WiFi networks will vanish, save for the one that I am currently connected to (There are typically 3-4 available networks from my apartment). As mentioned in the title, I have been experiencing strange disconnections on my MSI GS70 2PC Stealth Pro.
