Hey everyone, I've been experiencing frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on my laptop over the past few days. I'm not quite sure what might be causing it, and I could really use some help figuring it out. I checked the Event Viewer and saw Event ID 41 listed. I've also uploaded my mini dump files, which you can find here: [Minidump](https://www.mediafire.com/folder/m8r72o1le9dx9/Minidump). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

From the dump files, it looks like there's a recurring issue with the WiFi card driver, specifically Qcamain10x64.sys, along with some hardware errors related to your CPU or a PCIe device. You might want to try updating the driver for your Qualcomm QCA9377 WiFi card, since those WHEA errors indicate a likely hardware fault. WHEA errors are typically not caused by drivers, so if the issue persists after updating, it might mean the WiFi card itself is failing. Also, consider checking for updates on the Intel Rapid Storage drivers, as that showed in the dumps too.
It sounds like your laptop is having some serious issues. Event ID 41 usually indicates that your system restarted unexpectedly, which can be due to power loss, hardware issues, or driver problems. Analyzing the mini dump files you provided is crucial to pinpoint the exact cause. I'd suggest using BlueScreenView or WinDbg to check for specific error codes and drivers at fault. You might also want to look into possible hardware issues like bad RAM, overheating, or corrupt drivers. Here are a few troubleshooting steps: 1) Run a memory diagnostic test, 2) Monitor system temperatures to rule out overheating, 3) Update your drivers, 4) Use "sfc /scannow" and "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" commands to fix corrupted files, and 5) If you made any recent hardware changes, consider rolling them back to see if it resolves the issue.
