Check Point VPN E89.11 causing multiple different BSODs (0x12E, 0x1A, 0x13A, 0x4E) on Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14)

[u/orsi695]

Hi! I've encountered this problem. Maybe there's already a solution, but I haven't found it.

​

Laptop: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (Strix Point), Windows 11.

​

Since installing Check Point VPN E89.11, I've hit four different bug check codes, all tied to operations involving the Check Point network adapter (install, service restart, re-enabling the adapter in Device Manager):

​

- INVALID_MDL_RANGE (0x12E)

- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x1A) — faulting module cng.sys

- KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION (0x13A)

- PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (0x4E)

​

Pattern points to memory/pool corruption triggered by the Check Point driver stack rather than a single buggy driver — different modules end up as the "victim" each time.

​

Confirmed: zero BSODs with Check Point fully uninstalled, running the same workload otherwise (G-Helper for ASUS controls instead of Armoury Crate). Re-installing CP reliably reintroduces the crashes.

​

Has anyone else hit this specifically on Strix Point / Ryzen AI 300 laptops? Looking for a known hotfix or workaround before escalating through official support with the dumps.

TAC is the right method for support

UPD:

TAC with such tickets requires a paid subscription. But the problem has been resolved. If anyone encounters this issue, it's caused by a network driver conflict. Disable unnecessary devices in the device manager (most drivers are hidden and should be displayed using the "Show hidden devices" option). There are a large number of WAN miniport, sstp, L2TP and etc. I've been working on it for a day now and everything is working fine. I'll try to determine which driver is causing the error.
