Can faulty Wifi PCIe x1 card cause GPU BSOD?

[Tech Reprise]

Can a faulty WIFI PCIe x1 card cause BSOD related to a GPU since both are PCIe devices?
The card in question is Asus PCE-AC55BT and inside it is a Intel 8260NGW. 

Mods may remove the post if found in violation of group rules. But also attach the group rule violated in question to avoid this in future.

@Tech Reprise A faulty PCIe card can cause BSOD when the OS tries to communicate with it, but I don't know what you mean by "related to a GPU"? It is a separate device.

Well since both use PCIe lanes can issue on wifi card cause the GPU to throw a bsod out of nowhere?

Although the BSOD of Gpu can also be driver related. I am trying to pinpoint the main culprit here.

Just remove the card and try USB Tethering from your phone

What a BSOD pinpoints as the cause isn't 100% reliable if you have hardware problems, since it can just be a fluke/coincidence what the PC was doing when the error occurred, though random BSODs I'd argue are more likely to be faulty/unstable memory than they are anything else.

 

That said, if 100% of your BSODs point to the graphics card or drivers, then I wouldn't ignore it.

The BSOD's aren't random but occur 90% of the time after logging into Windows. Memory came out fine in memtest86

By random I meant what the BSOD pinpoints as the cause, not when it occurs.

Update: Wifi card is not the issue. Removing the card also throws a ntoskrnl bsod.For the time being downclocked my TridentZ 3600Mhz (XMP) to 3200Mhz (System Memory Multiplier) to test.

Strange thing is on Asrock system was super stable on 3600 but somehow Gigabyte is not so stable.
