BSOD on Windows 10 [Broadcom 802.11 Wireless Driver, bcmwl63a.sys]
Hey Guys,
~Per a moderator's request, I have created a new thread. I had initially commented this post in another thread. ~
I did a bare metal install of Windows 10 on a Dell E7250 (touch). While docked at work, no issues at all. As soon I took the machine home, BSOD after BSOD. At this point I'm trying to figure out what culprit is... VPN? SEP? Drivers?
So I ended up looking at the dump files, and it seems that "bcmwl63a.sys" is the main culprit [Broadcom Wireless 802.11ac -ASA- Dell Wireless 1560 802.11ac]. I'm not all that familiar with deciphering BSOD dumps.
I have tried several different driver scenarios. I have tried installing the latest Win 10 driver from DELL (version 7.35.290.0_A01), which made no difference. Reverted back to an older driver (version 7.35.267.0), still had BSOD's.
I also tried an SFC scan, and it did return errors that were supposedly unfixable. Not sure if it is related at all.
My fear is this is a definite driver issue that dell and Broadcom have to figure out. I'm in the process of testing out another machine (same model) just in case. But I thought just to post my findings thinking maybe someone can suggest something that I haven't tried, or make an observation that I wasn't able to see.
Attached will be the minidump logs collected by dm log collector. I will also upload my cbs.log from the sfc scan, to see if that helps:
dm collected logs >>> Attachment 36590
CBS.log >>> Attachment 36591
Some other info that may be helpful:
- E7250 was setup with UEFI Secure Boot configuration
- BSOD only happens when using wireless
- Never had these issues on WIN 8.1 (with the same machine)
