The system was overclocked and functioned properly for a half-day before beginning to crash repeatedly.
I increased my GTX 1070 speed with MSI Afterburner following a guide, using small steps. The adjustments stayed stable so I saved them and continued playing games. The next day I returned to the PC after playing games that morning and it kept crashing while trying to watch YouTube. I received three repeated crash reports. After unoverclocking the GPU, the issues persisted.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGE_AREA
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
and SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED What failed: bcmwl63a.sys
If anyone has any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I’ve limited the problem to using YouTube on Google Chrome, no reason known except it only occurs there.
chrome functions by utilizing your GPU to render and speed things up.
Check if chrome is current—maybe it’s the issue.
If benchmarks and stress tests run smoothly on your GPU, it’s likely a google chrome problem.
Restart your PC.
If that fails and you’re already on the latest version, uninstall and reinstall chrome, then restart again.
If problems persist, something else might be causing the issue, but in any case, consider switching to a reliable web browser like Firefox until it’s resolved.
It’s important to verify all your drivers are up to date for your system.

Restart your PC if needed.
If problems persist after updates, uninstall and reinstall chrome, then restart again.
If that fails, consider alternatives—use a reliable web browser now and switch to Firefox later to avoid crashes during troubleshooting.
Verify all system drivers are updated, particularly network adapter drivers, ensuring they match the latest versions from your motherboard manufacturer.
