BSODs when waking up after sleep/hibernate (Atheros driver issue?)
Hello everybody!
I have a Dell Vostro 15 3568 laptop with Windows 10 Pro (v. 10.0.17134). Sometimes I go away from the keyboard for long periods of time, and the computer is automatically put in a sleep/hibernate state (I don’t actually know if it’s a “sleep” or a “hibernate” state). Almost every time the computer wakes up from this state, a BSOD shows up and the computer has to be rebooted.
The BSODs frequently concerns qcamain10x64.sys, which refers to Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4/QCA9377 Network Adapter. I tried to update it to the latest available version (12.0.0.709), using the Dell Driver Update tool) -- to no avail; I also tried to downgrade it to an older version (12.0.0.307), but BSODs still happen.
Like the attached dump shows, the BSODs sometime refer to other error messages; still, they always happen when the computer wakes up from sleep/hibernation.
What could I do? Do you have any advice?
Thank you for reading this! Let me know if I can provide you with more or different information.
