    BSOD while typing a review, downloading torrents, facebook etc


    I've had the title happening since last night, and I think its related to the replacement mini PCI-E wifi card I installed last night, but then again there was a dmp at 8 am yesterday also, but was still doing the same just normal browsing.

    I think I was watching some videos and downloading at same time. the last few days I have had some pop ups from win 10 about having to restart due to drive errors or something like that, so downloaded the kingston ssd checker tool and looks ok.

    The BSOD screen says 'page fault in non paged area" for all three times.

    The wifi card is an AzureWave Broadcom BCM94352, which I had trouble finding drivers and had to use some from ASUS.

    Well here's the gathered info.

    Thanks

    Gerry

    Yup, looks like the Broadcom Wireless driver is the culprit.

    Try the Broadcom Wireless Windows 10 driver from Lenovo, see if that works for you.

    If that doesn't help, see this thread for a similar/identical problem and solutions:

    ok I'm going to install this driver and see whats up, if not then I'll try an older version and if still no good then I'll have to put back the old card and see about getting a replacement card, made Intel.

    yeah I saw and read it, somewhat same issue, but I dont want to go thru a wipe and start over, if thats my case I'll just go back to older card. I did install this card yesterday before the BSODs but had the wifi wouldnt turn on issue and found that taping pins 20 and 51 got the wifi to work, following this post WiFi not working after replacing WiFi card [BCM94352HMB]

    since I installed the driver you mentioned I havent had a bsod, yet, and doing the same as when it had, downloading torrents, browsing, moving files, etc, hopefully issue is resolved.

    thanks

    Well I got me another BSOD, just happened a bit ago, doing much the same. I have attached the filez...

    Going to go back to the older card for now and order me something else, guess have to wait for exuberant speeds
