My computer has been experiencing some random BSOD while playing Destiny 2. I ran an analysis using Bluescreenviwer and Windbg, both pointing to ntoskrnl.exe or afd.sys. I’m not sure what to do next. Could you help me?

afd.sys is an auxiliary driver for winsock. It's utilized by Windows for networking purposes; it seems the issue might stem from Ethernet or Wi-Fi drivers, so updating them should help. I'll ask a friend to convert the dumps.

your lan drivers aren't that outdated, but I don't see any other software on my PC that requires AFD.sys, do I think?
