How to fix DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error?

[menzobomhof]

Hi,

Can somebody help me with the error I get when I boot my pc?
It says: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I read that it can help to look into the minidump files. Here is the link to mine:

Hi Andre,

Thanks!

I dont know what Atheros is, but I installed the right driver of my tp-link wireless adapter which I downloaded from their website, and that did the job.

I rebooted my pc once and it didnt give the error, so I guess its solved now

nice to hear that it is fixed
