Re:Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz : Has encountered an internal error and has failed.

HelterAlan · ‎09-01-2021

Hi, i have an approx 1 year old Lenovo T5 28IMB05 (July 20) and the last few weeks the internet has been so unstable it has actually resulted in system freeze (only happens when viewing online content... music streaming or YouTube for example) requiring a hard reset.
It freezes the system, occasionally with a buzz (as if the sound has slowed so much it time-stretched) and requires a hard restart.

In the last days i did a complete factory reset of the system (new Windows 10) and used Avast Driver update to get the latest drivers... issue still happening. I used a Lenovo autorised diagnostic tool and they are unable to finad an issue, today the wifi adapter froze again and i have some info from the event viewer.

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160mz (Current version: 22.60.0.6)

Events:
Event id 5005: TX/CMD timeout (TfdQueue hanged).

(and these repeat a few times then freezes).

I am not sure what to write more at the moment, i am just wondering if you know of this error or have tips on how to fix.

Regards

Hi Andrew, i eneded up doin g a factory reset on the PC (what i did not want to do) and updated thew drivers listed on Lenovo's website for my model (not the latest found by Avast Driver updater) and it seems to be stable now.
I also did not re-install Avast so i am assuming somehow that upgrading to Avast Pro in the weeks before kicked off this whole disaster.

At the moment the PC seems stable and "solved" hopefully.

Thank you for your time and interest.

HelterAlan · ‎09-14-2021

Here is the SSU text file anyway and answers to the initial questions:

1- Are you having issues with Wi-Fi only or with Bluetooth too (both)?
No bluetooth issues that i know off but i don't think i have any bluettoth connections (without extra usb adapter... keyboard, mouse).

2- Is the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 the original wireless adapter that came pre-installed in your system or did you integrate/replace it?

Came pre-installed.

3- Do you remember if this issue happened after a new Windows update or Wireless/Bluetooth driver update?

Possibly yes for drivers... i think Avast recommended new ones as opposed to what Lenovo did.

4- Router / Access point model:

Using neighbours/landlords WiFi... unsure

5- When the issue happens, is there any error message or error code under Windows* Device Manager >> Network Adapters >> Intel® Wireless Adapter >> right-click on Properties >> General tab?

Unable to have that after factory reset.

6- An Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) report to gather more details about the system. Please follow these steps:

attached.

Hello HelterAlan

Thank you for your response and for the details and the report.

We understand that the PC is stable now and it seems the problem is solved after you performed a factory reset and installed the drivers from Lenovo*. We are glad to know that and we will keep the thread open so you can monitor the behavior for some days and report if the behavior is totally fixed.

It is worth mentioning that the driver or software for your Intel® component might have been changed or replaced by the computer manufacturer (OEM) Lenovo*, and the usual recommendation is to use the drivers provided by the OEM and to get the drivers through the official tools or websites published by the OEM. Having said that, we agree that it was a good idea to install the drivers from Lenovo* and our recommendation is that you continue using the drivers from Lenovo* Support websites.

If you would like to use a tool or a feature to automate the process, it seems that Lenovo* has options for this purpose, for instance, the "Automatic Driver Update*" feature on their website or the Lenovo* System Update tool. We would recommend checking further with Lenovo* Support team for more details about these and other options.

Best regards,

Andrew G.

Afternoon Andrew.

This is not an isolated incident for HelterAlan. I have the same machine as described in the original post with what appears to be an identical error message.

I experienced my first crash after the latest Windows Update.

To help expedite the matter as I do not wish to perform a factory reset, I will also answer your original questions:

1- Are you having issues with Wi-Fi only or with Bluetooth too (both)?

It appears it is an issue with the component/driver itself. I am not using any Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Instead, I am hard wired to my router for internet.

2- Is the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 the original wireless adapter that came pre-installed in your system or did you integrate/replace it?

It came with the original purchase.

3- Do you remember if this issue happened after a new Windows update or Wireless/Bluetooth driver update?

I have been having issues with this per the event log, but the system froze and crashed on me for the first time this morning after a windows update.

4- Router / Access point model:

Linksys whw03

5- When the issue happens, is there any error message or error code under Windows* Device Manager >> Network Adapters >> Intel® Wireless Adapter >> right-click on Properties >> General tab?

When the issue happens, the system is frozen. Upon rebooting, the General tab no longer displays any error messages.

6- An Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) report to gather more details about the system. Please follow these steps:

Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

Hello @jon_s

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

The root cause of the problem reported by HelterAlan seems to be due to a conflict with a third-party tool used to update drivers (Avast*); however, you mentioned that the crash/freezing issues started after some Windows* Updates, so this could be a different problem.

Everyone's situation and environment are unique so we kindly recommend creating a new thread to isolate your case and system configuration. Please make sure you add the information of the system model and specs, detailed information of the problem that you are having, plus all the information that you have already added to this thread, so we can get more information about the problem.

Thank you for your understanding; hope to hear from you soon.
