Windows 10: Network adapter crashed and Pc Frozen while playing games.

Hi, When I play games for more than 20 minutes My network adapter gets disconnected. After this my windows will get crashed and I have to force shutdown my pc to recover from this. I tried updating all my drivers. I have replaced my RTX 3060Ti GPU to RTX 3070 and tried repairing my CPU, Motherboard. I updated my OS to Windows 11. But still the issue is happening. Could not find out what is happening in my PC yet?. Note: After testing more number of times I have noted that these happens only when my CPU reaches around 75 Degree.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tQAL4x8O_bXFuhy8mI5C

Network adapter disappears everytime I play online games

This started when I tried to upgrade to Windows 11, I thought it was because of the windows 11 so I downgraded it back to windows 10 but the problem is still there.

Whenever I try to play online games, after a few minutes it will disconnect because my network adapter is gone. I can't see the wifi anymore. I've tried a lot of things that fixes the missing network adapter like

• Unchecking 'Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power'
  
• Updating the driver to the latest available version
  
• Uninstalling the driver and restarting
  
• typing 'netsh int ip reset' and 'netsh winsock reset' in cmd as adminstrator
  
• setting WLAN autoconfig to automatic
  
• Network reset
  
• Troubleshooting network adapter
  
• Resetting PC
  

And other fixes that I see here. It brings back the network adapter but the main problem which is the network adapter always disappear whenever I play online games is still there. I hope you can help me with this issue.

 

Qualcomm Wireless Network Adapter Automatically Disabling/Crashing/Turning OFF only while playing games.

Okay so it is quite unfortunate that latest possible driver version 12.0.0.948 dated 22-APR-2020 of
Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter is also behaving in same way as before. It is also crashing and getting disabled only when i am playing a Game. Just within 5 minute launch of the game the wi-fi network adapter get disabled or crashes.

Definitely some compatibility issue will wait for the update from Microsoft either as a cumulative update or as a new driver version of Network Adapter.
