Intel WiDi causes BSOD

[Jorge Pietra Santa]

Hello, I'm fairly new to the forum and I don't know the rules yet, but I'm hoping you won't be too harsh with me for being a noob. Anyways, I recently started having some trouble with my Dell Inspiron 15 7567 while using Intel WiDi to connect to my LG Smart TV, whenever I connect to the TV the screen freezes and displays the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, saying that Netwtw04.sys failed. I think it's worth noting that my processor (Intel Core i5-7300HQ) is undervolted with an offset of -0.150 V, could that have anything to do with this?

I doubt that the lower voltage of your CPU has anything to do with your network problem.
" DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL " usually indicates a driver issue.
Take a look here, it may help you:

That driver, netwtw04.sys started causing problems for one of my systems when the Creator's Update was released. I even warned Dell of the problem.

Getting the latest driver for the Intel card will probably help. If you have the 3165 wireless, I changed mine to a better Intel card and the Blue Screens stopped. It may have stopped with the newer drivers but I did not give it time to find out. Currently, I am running a Killer wireless 1535 on my 7567 for testing.

I don't have a smart TV for testing which I can connect with. As far as I know, Intel WiDi is no longer used. But it gets confusing where that process overlaps with the Miracast stuff.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but it's been quite a busy week for me... It seems like updating the Intel Wireless Display drivers fixed it, thanks for re-directing me to that thread!

Yes indeed, updating the drivers did it for me, thanks for the advice.
