Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter Netr28x.sys DRIVER IRQL BSOD

[EvenNotOdd]

I keep getting BSODs about DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL with netr28x.sys. I am assuming it's a driver issue based on the BSOD and the fact that my laptop originally ran Windows 7 but now runs 10 (which I just did another clean install of). The short of it is that I am looking for a 64 bit Windows 10 driver for my Ralink RT5390 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (Hardware ID of the card: PCI\VEN_1814&DEV_5390&SUBSYS_1636103C&REV_00).

Hi:

That model card is not supported very well in W10.

The newer the build of W10, the worse the card works.

I'm surprised that it is even showing up in the device manager.

There was only one driver released for it, and it is almost 5 years old.

Ok. I mean the wifi works but the random BSODs are annoying to say the least. I will try that driver (I'm assuming it's not a Windows 10 driver but the most recent for that hardware?). I already have that driver since it was the only one but will see if that reinstall helps.

That is a W10 driver. 

It was the only one released for the Ralink cards including the one your PC has.

Thanks for clarifying. Let's hope that fixes it!

You're very welcome.

If that is not the driver currently installed, then it should make things better.
