nwifi.sys BSOD

Hi everyone.

So I'm stumped. I have recently been experiencing daily BSOD related to nwifi.sys on my laptop. Its an MSI GS73VR, with Killer LAN and Wifi. I started having issues when I tried to connect wirelessly to my HP 4650 printer. While trying to connect, I got BSOD due to HP driver error. I have since removed all of the HP software and drivers (through Device Manager), and am still have BSOD issues. I have uninstalled all network drivers, rebooted. I haven't tried running without the Killer Suite, but I didn't think that would be an issue since its all driver related.

All BSODs relate to both ntoskrnl.exe and nwifi.sys. I have tried different power modes, and cannot quite figure out what is going on. Part of me is debating resetting the OS again, but then I have the ass pain of setting up all of my programs again for school. Any suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, MSI wants me to RMA, which they are probably just going to do an OS reset and ship it back to me anyways....

Notably, I have had issues with random shutdowns. None are expected. They occur randomly. I have attributed this mainly to the Dragon Center power settings, which I have disabled and use the default W10 power settings. I haven't had issues since.

If you need any specific info, please let me know. I can provide the BSOD reports if they would be helpful. Just let me know how you want them uploaded.

Thanks in advance, Ryujin2003
