**Model: **
Legion 9i
**The issue: **
It crashes up to two or three times in a day with the "Your PC ran into an error" screen
What I have tried:
Nothing; I don't know where to start because I don't know what could be causing it
**When it started producing the issue: **
A couple of days after I got it about two weeks ago.
**Whether I've installed new drivers or software: **
I have been keeping all drivers and software updated.

Do you have a higher res of the picture?

#

I cannot read the "what failed" part

#

Ah it's WifiCX.sys

#

Unfortunately, that's the original resolution

# graceful trout Ah it's WifiCX.sys

I hadn't noticed that but now that you've mentioned it, this is when ti happens most frequently:
I open the laptop lid and wake it from sleep. Then I try to connect wifi to it, it crashes

#

One, it should be connecting on its own but doesn't. So i try to go in and click connect but it crashes after that

So...
1st check what wifi card do you have and report it here
2nd please uninstall the wifi driver via device manager, then download the newest driver from support.lenovo.com, type in your Serial number.

#

Yeah this should be easy

#

should

#

You're giving me hope 🙂

#

I'll get back to you with the info in just a second

#

Is it the MediaTek one?

graceful trout
#

The driver should fix it

#

Otherwise, swapping another card should be cheap.

#

So I just uninstall it and the restart windows for it to reinstall?

graceful trout
#

Just that is a hassle

graceful trout
#

Ah wait

#

If you don't have ethernet cable, download the driver first.

dreamy plinth
#

I have an ethernet connected

graceful trout
#

Especially with Mediatek/ Realtek "newer" cards

dreamy plinth
#

#

Alright, uninstalling using device manager

graceful trout
