Hi guys,

I have Dell Precision M4800. Before having Windows 10 Pro x64 installed I had Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 and all that time I didn't have any BSODs. However, since I use Windows 10 Pro x64 I periodically have BSOD. Below is the error in Event Viewer.
Code:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  
The bugcheck was: 0x1000007e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff8004c870c7a, 0xffffd00024d7a6d8, 0xffffd00024d79ef0). 
A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\Minidump\072116-7265-01.dmp. Report Id: be6c65b4-bbdd-4ec5-b597-869b0fb99a97.

Log Name: System
Source: BugCheck
Event ID: 1001
Level: Error
User: N/A
OpCode: Info

What's more interesting BSOD happens only when files are downloaded in torrent client (I use uTorrent). When uTorrent is not running or uTorrent is running but nothing is downloaded then I don't have BSOD.

Any chance this issue can be resolved? I would appreciate if someone could help me with this BSOD.

Thank you.

Hi,
all dump files are the same and causes include faulty hardware (usually RAM), drivers as well as an out of date bios. The probably cause relates to this driver:

bcmwl63a.sys Mon Nov 23 22:56:21 2015: Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter wireless driver. I checked your system support page but no 'Broadcom' driver is available. However it might simply be named under the collective name of Dell. Try this driver from your support page:

Please update your drivers in general using the support page:

Post any new dump files.

Hi kemical,

Thank you for your prompt response. Is it possible to have Windows Updates enabled but turn off any kind of updates for any specific hardware component. In my case it could be a Wi-Fi adapter.

Thank you.

Hi SacredBoy,

Not easily no, at one time you could do that but now best you can do is either turn them off or on again. So either you get all the updates or non at all.
Microsoft does have an app which will allow you to defer an update until a later date but that's about it. (it also depends on which version of 10 your using)
What Does “Defer Upgrades” in Windows 10 Mean?
