WiFi Adapter Causing Blue Screens in Windows 10

So basically, a little while ago I asked a question that my computer keeps on blue screening. I ended up fixing the problem by uninstalling my graphics driver, but I installed it back because it created a few problems. Now I have blue screens whenever I
move my computer or just randomly at random times when I'm using it. However, I used BlueScreenView (third-party software) to see what was causing my blue screens. I found out that my network adapter was causing the problem. The Blue Screen stopcode was 0x000001d3
and it said it was caused by the driver Qcamain10x64.sys which it said was my WiFi adapter. So I disabled it and booted up my computer and everything worked fine, no blue screen no problems, except one MAJOR problem, I had no WiFi Connection. So I re-enabled
my network adapter and the blue screens came back. Can somebody please suggest a way I can deal with that driver (e.g. installing another driver) and solve my blue screens? I would appreciate it a lot!

USB ports fail, then blue screen of death on three Windows 10 computers -- Can this be fixed or is this caused by a virus?

Hi Grace,

It's possible that certain drivers, such as USB and other device drivers are causing blue screen errors on your PC. Another factor is due to a conflicting third-party software. Now, before we get into the solution, were you able to boot your computer normally
or can it boot to the desktop screen? If yes, then we suggest that you run the
Hardware diagnostic tool on your PC. Just type troubleshooter on the
Search box, press Enter, then look for
Hardware and Devices, and click Run the troubleshooter.

If the troubleshooter didn't resolve the port issue, then might as well you update the USB driver, and the BIOS firmware of your computer.

In addition to that, if you're still getting a blue/black screen error after performing the recommended steps, then we suggest that refer to the troubleshooting steps from these articles:

• Troubleshoot blue screen errors.
• Troubleshoot black screen or blank screen errors.

Let us know the outcome.

 

Recommendation for WiFi usb / card

If you have a desktop computer I would STRONGLY suggest a PCIe adapter rather than a USB adapter if you go with WiFi 6. The only USB WiFi adapters that I have seen thus far use a Realtek chipset which is reported to have some serious flaws. In my own personal experience, I have tried 2 of these and returned both, getting performance worse than other WiFi 5 adapters and constant disconnects even 10 feet from my WiFi router. If you go with a USB adapter, I would suggest a quality WiFi 5 adapter. One more note: Should you decide to go with a WiFi 6 PCIe adapter, I would suggest a WiFi 6e model. They actually cost no more, and they are one step up just in case you ever go to a WiFi 6e router.
