[URL=][/URL]I put the original WiFi M.2 card back on the motherboard and no more BSOD's. So the L4.51A fix works at least for the WiFi card that comes with the motherboard.

Has anyone been able to get it to work with any other WiFi card?

I was hoping for a 2x2 WiFi card but I guess I'll have to settle for 1x1.

BTW, I have all the latest drivers installed.

did u try latest "greatest" intel drivers?
also do a full install before
dpc_watchdog can happen from old (unsupported) drivers
make sure all your drivers are up to date
and try to avoid amd drivers for sata

otherwise ull need some dump file, and since u dont have issues with applications but with hardware, than u will need to change something
Quote change your system memory dump to kernel, run cmd.exe as an admin then run
verifier.exe /standard /all
reboot, run until you get the next bugcheck then
copy the memory dump file c:\windows\memory.dmp
to a server like microsoft one drive and post a link.
how to change the memory dump type:https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/111474.aspx

when you are done testing run
verifier.exe /reset
to turn off the extra error checking or your machine will run slowly until you do.

To be clear, I removed the wifi m.2 card that came with the motherboard. I then replaced it with the 7265 m.2 card.

Based on the other reply, I will put the original card back in and see if the BSOD's go away.

Thanks.]]> Sun, 08 Apr 2018 11:03:22 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7807&PID=49449&title=wifi-bsod-on-ab350-gaming-mitx-ac#49449 <![CDATA[WiFi BSOD on AB350 Gaming mITX/AC : From what I can tell, the beta...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7807&PID=49445&title=wifi-bsod-on-ab350-gaming-mitx-ac#49445 Author: Xaltar

From what I can tell, the beta BIOS is a fix, a workaround to a problem likely coming from the AGESA code. In cases where there is a fix, it is quite common for it to be specific to the bundled hardware. It may well be that the fix does not work with the adapter you installed or, if you have both adapters installed, it is they are conflicting as ajnosek suggested. ]]> Sun, 08 Apr 2018 04:56:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7807&PID=49445&title=wifi-bsod-on-ab350-gaming-mitx-ac#49445 <![CDATA[WiFi BSOD on AB350 Gaming mITX/AC : rluhman wrote:Note, I am not...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7807&PID=49436&title=wifi-bsod-on-ab350-gaming-mitx-ac#49436 Author: ajnosek

Just to be clear, you are not using the onboard wifi, you are using a dedicated wifi adapter, correct?  Why not just use the onboard wifi?  

I don't know if the recent ab350 itx/ac motherboard wifi issue was a problem for ALL wifi devices, or just the onboard wifi.  It's possible that ASRock didn't anticipate people using other wifi devices when they came out with the wifi fix in 4.51.  

Or it could be that there is some kind of conflict between the two cards.  I would try using the onboard wifi and the dedicated wifi independently. Try disabling the onboard wifi and only using the dedicated card.  Verify the onboard wifi works without the wifi card installed. This would at least give you some more information.

Well yesterday I upgraded to the P4.51 beta bios from P4.40. It solved the Sleep mode problem that I was having. However, it still does not fix the random BSOD (DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION) that I get which appears related to the Intel Wireless device.

Note, I am not using the wireless AC card that came with the board. I upgraded it to the 7265 device that is used in the X370 version of this motherboard.

I am using wireless because it is rather difficult to get a wire to this location in the house.

Chipset drivers should always be first.

Once those are installed, order is not that critical. This is because the chipset drivers facilitate the correct identification of components and help prevent conflicts.

I was trying to, but honestly I was getting confused by their installation files.  

The file from the chipset driver's page is called: amd-chipset-drivers_18.10_feb.exe
The file from the video driver's page is called: rv-win10-64bit-whql-radeon-software-17.40.3701-feb12.exe

There appears to be numerous drivers in both installation packages, and many of them overlap but not all of them.  If I install the chipset drivers first (v18.10), and then I try to install the video drivers (v17.40), I get an error saying the later version is already installed.  I don't understand this...I didn't install the video package yet, and I believe there are drivers in there that aren't installed yet.  

Then, to complicate the matter, there is a different installation package called: radeon-software-adrenalin-18.2.3-minimalsetup-180222_web.exe

I figure that I might be able to use this somehow to get around this issue, but that isn't exactly clear either.  

What I think I ended up doing was uninstalling all them, and putting 17.4 in first, and then putting 18.10 in on top of that.  But I suppose this is installing the video drivers before the chipset drivers?

What did you do, and how did you get around this issue?
