Hi guys, I'm relatively new to computing so I was wondering if I could have some help. I recently made this computer and have had 3 or 4 BSOD's. I opened the minidump of the last crash and it says:
"*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for bcmwl63a.sys*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for bcmwl63a.sys"
I've looked that up and it seems to be a broadcom 802.11 wireless driver. Does anyone know anything about this and could maybe help me (using easy to understand terms )
Thanks in advance

Here is the DM Logs.
Besides of Avast, do you use any other protection software?
A firewall driver has been flagged, however I can't find this driver in the logs.

Thanks for a fast response. I was using Bullguard antivirus but I uninstalled it because I thought it might be causing the problem, so apart from avast I can't think of anything else.
How did you remove Bullguard?
The driver is a firewall driver from Agnitum, Agnitum software is implemented in BullGuard software.
I can't remember . I think I used the uninstaller. Do you think it's causing the issue? I have it on my laptop as well and I have never had this BSOD on it.
I think an improper removal caused the network driver to be flagged, but I could be wrong.
Is this file, afw.sys, present in the following location?
%SystemRoot%system32DRIVERS
Press windows logo + r to search and copy paste it in the search function.
Yes, it is there, however I was getting the BSOD before I uninstalled it.
I think I am in the wrong way of troubleshooting.
It seems Avast has also implemented Agnitum software.
Please uninstall Avast and use Windows Defender while troubleshooting
