Windows 10: Computer freezes and then BSODs. I believe it is the wifi card to blame?

I have, in the past month, been experiencing random crashes that only get more and more frequent as time goes on. The computer will randomly freeze up for about two to three minutes and then will crash with the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error.Going into event viewer the event viewer shows that there are repeated- 'IntelR Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz : Has determined that the network adapter is not functioning properly.' '5032 - Driver Miniport reset watchdog''IntelR Wi-Fi 6 AX200 16

computer hang & BSOD

3 dumps point to 3 different device drivers:

• One blames McAffee.
• One Blames your NVIDIA Virtual Audio Driver
• The last one says your Intel WiFi network adapter

I suggest completely uninstalling McAffee and using
built in defender in its place for some time.

The next step would be completely uninstalling and reinstalling both the above said drivers.
