I have an x201. It’s been a workhorse. The one problem is occasionally on heavy downloads or watching YouTube or certain websites, I get a BSOD. I didn’t save it to share with you folks but it seems to be related to WIFI. Based on research I have read about some older Intel WIFI cards not working with W8 nor W10. In one case I came across that W7 also had problems (and I am assuming due to new MSFT patches causing some issues of incompatibility). When I go to the Intel site to look for a driver it won’t allow me to download any updates pointing me back to Lenovo. In another case on the HP site, I read of a similar problem with different Centrino card where Intel said they won’t provide a remedy. Also read a case where someone with a T550 I think had to replace the WIFI card.
Any experience with this problem? Again, it’s not systemic but happens more than necessary. This happens at different WIFI locations (home and office) so it’s not a router or bandwidth issues as far as I believe.
What do do?
This is what I have:
Intel Centrino Advanced N 6250 AGN
Last driver version : 13.2.0.30 (Lenovo Thinkpad version)

uninstall hardware, force it to re find the card and reinstall drivers.
