Did anyone manage to run that WiFi card smoothly on Windows 10? For me, it kept crashing with BSODs (WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR) occasionally, particularly during downloads from Steam or Epic Game Store. I disabled overclocking and turned off power-saving settings for the PCIE card and its link.

I believe I found the AC68 nearby. It was my W10 model before switching back to wiring. Updated on January 5, 2020 by HumdrumPenguin

Based on my observations and personal experiences, WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR usually points to a hardware issue, though I've noticed certain overclocking setups can trigger it as well.

I can check the event viewer for you and provide the precise error details along with additional information about the issue.

Hope it’s okay with the Central European dialect... The first one is for BSOD, and the second is just one of the 345,567,376,777 errors.

Hello! I also have a similar NIC. It generally runs fine on Windows 10 (version 1909). I've never faced any issues or BSODs when Windows boots normally. The problem I encounter is occasional crashes during boot. The animation halts and the PC doesn't respond, even after pressing the reset button. This only happens during reboots, not when shutting down Windows. It becomes bothersome when forced to restart—like during updates or feature installations, which can take up to 10 attempts before launching. I noticed the BIOS settings for PCIe might affect this behavior. Look into your BIOS options—it depends on your model. Edit: I should have mentioned that AC66 doesn't support a Windows 10 driver, but the AC68 driver seems more reliable. Try it too. Edit2: It turns out enabling "PCI Express Native Power Management" helped me complete 10 consecutive reboots without issues! This is great. Make sure to check your BIOS settings if the card appears faulty. If it works, you're likely fine.

Exactly what you're asking about? Your mainboard is an Asus Z270F Strix, but it shouldn't affect anything.
