What are ftsvnic.sys Error Messages?


ftsvnic.sys Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Errors

There are a number of reasons why you could be encountering issues with ftsvnic.sys. Most of the issues concerning sys files involve Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. These types of ftsvnic.sys errors can be cause by hardware problems, outdated firmware, corrupt drivers, or other software-related (eg. FortiClient update) issues. Some of these errors include:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ftsvnic.sys.

:( Your PC ran into a problem that it couldn't handle, and now needs to restart. You can search for the error online: [BSOD] (ftsvnic.sys).

<strong>STOP 0x00000050: PAGE FAULT IN A NONPAGED AREA (ftsvnic.sys)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0×0000007A: KERNEL DATA INPAGE (ftsvnic.sys)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000007E: SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (ftsvnic.sys)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000003B: SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION (ftsvnic.sys)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL NOT LESS EQUAL (ftsvnic.sys)</strong><br /><strong>STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (ftsvnic.sys)</strong>

It's Critical to Resolve Blue Screen of Death Errors

In the majority of cases, you will encounter ftsvnic.sys BSOD errors after you've installed new hardware, software (FortiClient), or performed a failed Windows Update. In other cases, software corruption caused by a malware infection can lead to ftsvnic.sys Blue Screen of Death errors. Therefore, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.


GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a ftsvnic.sys Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

How to Fix ftsvnic.sys Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your ftsvnic.sys issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.
  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the ftsvnic.sys error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed FortiClient (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling FortiClient software.

You can uninstall FortiClient software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many ftsvnic.sys error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".

    Windows 10: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ftsvnic.inf_amd64_dab6842971aa35f7\
  4. Restart your computer.

Download ftsvnic.sys Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying ftsvnic.sys to your appropriate Windows system directory. Fortinet typically does not release FortiClient SYS files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing ftsvnic.sys and all other SYS files for FortiClient. An incorrectly installed SYS file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
