WNDA3100V3 BSOD Security Check Error with disconnect and reconnects

Every time my Netgear WNDA3100V3 USB WIFI adapter  disconnects and then reconnects to the internet, my computer shuts down and displays the BSOD (blue screen of death) that says the stop code. "Kernel Security Check Error" and tells me to go to windows.com/stopcode and find an answer? Well I have uninstalled and reinstalled and made sure my computer and the adapter are updated. Nothing works. This happens many times a day!

  • Hi Fixitplease,

     

    If you disconnect the adapter, does the computer still goes on BSOD?

     

    If you have another computer, try installing the adapter and check if the same issue. Try cleaning as well the registry of your computer(Check microsoft).

      If I disconnect it from the computer and don't plug it back in, my computer is fine. But if I plug it back in in connects the internet, then I get the BSOD. Also, if I lose the wifi signal and it reconnects by itself I get the BSOD.
