Hey everyone! I'm running into a frustrating problem with my Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 adapter. Whenever I enable it, my system immediately experiences a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Here's a bit more context: I'm using a GIGABYTE B650 Eagle AX motherboard and I have Windows 11 installed. The BSOD happens right after I turn the Wi-Fi adapter on, but the system is totally stable when it's disabled. I've tried updating the drivers, rolling them back, and even doing a clean reinstall, but the BSOD keeps happening. Has anyone had similar issues with this setup, and is there any workaround to get it functioning without crashing? Thanks for any help!

It sounds like your BSOD is likely related to driver issues or hardware compatibility. First, let’s get some crash dump files for a better diagnosis. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for any crash logs. If you find some, zip them and upload them to a file sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire. Having multiple dump files can really help in troubleshooting this issue. If you don’t have dump files, consider following [this guide](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-configure-windows-10-create-minidump-bsod.html) to ensure you can capture them in the future.
Have you updated your BIOS yet? Sometimes incompatibilities can arise from outdated BIOS versions, especially with newer hardware. Check the GIGABYTE support page [here](https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-EAGLE-AX-rev-10-11/support#Support-Bios) for any updates that might address this issue.
I haven't updated the BIOS since last March. I’ll definitely look into that.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll check for those dump files and follow the guide for any future crashes.
