My laptop encountered an NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE BSOD error then restart itself during regular use. This problem appears very randomly but mostly when I connected to the internet through WIFI.
I update the BIOS to the latest version available (F.40), Reinstall windows several times using both Resetting this pc and Fresh Install using the USB method, but no luck!
Update the drivers to the latest version using Device Manager first then download and update drivers from Product Support Download Page of HP Website Still no luck!!
If I use my laptop with a WIFI connection ON the BSOD Error appears at least 3 to 6 times a day on regular use but If I use it with an Ethernet connection the error never shows up!
It seems the culprit is the WIFI card or Driver. How do I determine the real problem and be able to get rid of the BSOD error??
I'd really appreciate your help regarding this problem. Thanks!

Hi@rafiqur-rahman, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
You have done the basic troubleshooting as per the document and the notebook needs to checked taking remote access so that get to know it's a hardware or software issue.
I'd suggest you contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your computer or HP Chat Support Team.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello Praveenbv, Thanks for the reply!
I've done a test for if the problem is the WIFI device/driver or not and I found that the error magically disappears after I'm using the laptop with the WIFI device disabled in Device Manager. So I'm pretty sure either the WIFI hardware is faulty or the driver has an error. Although I updated the latest driver downloading from Intel Website. I have also tested with an external USB wifi device "Realtek RTL8188EU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter" and It's also working perfectly fine!
