Dell XPS 15 9560 Random BSOD for a couple months now

Just had another BSOD within minutes of the last one, this time it's DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Minidump file (052720-8390-01.dmp) uploaded to my OneDrive: Public
BlueScreenView is highlighting fwpkclnt.sys, ndis.sys, ntoskrnl.exe. This is the first time I have seen DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

I will update my chipset and management engine drivers now.
 
Hello, do you think the wifi network card driver caused all of the crashes? Or just the most recent crash?
 
Hello, I haven't had a chance to test with wifi module disabled, but I received another DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD. Minidump file (052820-7875-01.dmp) uploaded to my OneDrive: Public

This happened while I was away from my laptop, and laptop should have been idle.
 
Test that driver with driver verifier.
From an elevated command prompt:
Code: 
verifier /flags 0x03bfefbf /bootmode rous /driver Netwtw08.sys
(And reboot)

Hello, two more BSOD, minidump on my OneDrive: Public

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - 052820-7609-01.dmp
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - 052820-7687-01.dmp (after "verifier /flags 0x03bfefbf /bootmode rous /driver Netwtw08.sys" and reboot)
 
Disable Driver Verifier and enable it again with the same settings, but for verification, in addition to the netwtw08.sys driver, also select ndis.sys
 
Hello, latest BSOD with verifier enabled per your recommended settings: 052920-8859-01.dmp. Uploaded to my OneDrive: Public

It was a SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED on ndis.sys according to BlueScreenView.
 
Had a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD caused by NETIO.sys (052920-9031-01.dmp). I updated my Intel 9260 Wireless drivers to the latest dated 5/20/2020 on the Intel site.

Started verifier again with
Code: 
verifier /flags 0x03bfefbf /bootmode rous /driver Netwtw08.sys,ndis.sys

It then crashed again with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED caused by ndis.sys (052920-8781-01.dmp). Could it be that my wireless card is bad?

Thanks, I'll try it out. It's just hard because not being able to go online almost makes the laptop useless :)
 
I will need an external LAN adapter. The Dell XPS 15 doesn't have a LAN port built in. I'll see if I can pick one up.
