Frequent BSOD using Bootcamp on bcmpciedhd63.sys

Hello,




I just bought a Macbook Pro 15" 2018 and installed Windows 10 using Bootcamp. My laptop crashes every few minutes on module bcmpciedhd63.sys. It also crashes on the Apple Audio driver occasionally, Please HELP!

I had same trouble (0x0000082d blue screen), and probably found solution.


Open "Device Manager" -> "Network Adapter" -> "Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter" -> Open "Property" -> "Driver" tab -> Click "Roll back driver" -> Reboot


Probably, Windows Update Broadcom driver is not suitable for Macbook bootcamp.

I'm sorry to hear that there's another person having similar issues -- good and bad :)


Just before I decided to format my hard disk in preparation for a return, I wanted to try one more thing, which was to doubly making sure the version of the WiFi was the same as what came with BootCamp (BC). Since I couldn't figure that out (but thanks to loner T, we now know). I spent a bit of time in Device Manager to review all the settings for the WiFi driver. While doing so, I accidentally clicked on the "rollback driver" button and it appeared to do something! Now my WiFi driver info reads like this:


Driver Provider: Broadcom

Driver Date: 9/25/2018

Driver Version: 100.10.330.6


I haven't experienced any crashes since!!! I will keep you posted as I will test this one out for a few days before I decide what to do with this laptop!


Give it a shot and post what you see as well.


Best!

From Bootcamp.xml downloaded for a MBP 15,1 using Brigadier,


This is the Product version...


<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>
<ProductVersion>6.1.7071</ProductVersion>
<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>


and the specific driver you should have is


<Name>Broadcom 802.11ac PCIE Network Adapter Driver
<InfName>bcmwdidhdpcie.inf</InfName>
<Class> Net</Class>
<ClassGUID> {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}</ClassGUID>
<CatalogFile> bcmpciedhd63.cat</CatalogFile>
<Provider>Broadcom</Provider>
<DriverVer>06/25/2018, 100.10.200.18</DriverVer>
<ServiceBinary>bcmpciedhd63.sys</ServiceBinary>
<HardwareID></HardwareID>
<isX64>yes</isX64>
</Name>



You can also find the exact PID/VID of the card on the macOS side, in About This Mac -> System Report -> WiFi. It is a Broadcom BT/WiFi card. The iFixit teardown can be confusing between chipsets and modules.

Loner T - OK - you have to stop doing this!? :)


Based on your last post, I disabled the T2 functions and guess what, the audio issue is gone! At the risk of jinxing myself, I have had a full day of Windows 10 on Macbook Pro 2018 without a single crash for a full day - nearly 18 hours since the last reboot!


I still have the trackpad (getting jerky) issue but it's only intermittent so I may be able to live with it.


This is progress. I will test this for a few more days before declaring victory so I will post a summary soon if all goes well.


Loner T - thank you so much for all your help!!

You are certainly braver than me. I cannot afford any down times with the laptop as its my primary work laptop, hence my decision to not move forward with it. I wish you all the best and hopefully Windows 10 doesn't throw any curve balls at you. I suggest disabling all device driver updates so when Windows 10 updates (monthly, weekly or whenever) your laptop continues to work with existing drivers Only consider updating the device drivers if you have any issues, otherwise, just keep up with the working set. That would be my last piece of advice for you.


Best!

OK, it's almost time to give up on this laptop. It looks like the crappy Broadcom WiFi driver is crashing windows but a search on the Broadcom support website is completely useless. I'm not even sure what Broadcom WiFI model is used on this 2018 Macbook Pro 15'. Starting in 2012, I have put in a healthy amount of time trying to make Windows work on Macbook Pros. I'm totally disappointed to say the least....

Finally someone else experiencing this. I'm seeing (mostly) the same problem with the same machine. The frequency is a bit lower for me, with crashes happening about twice a day, and I haven't noticed any audio driver crashes. I too noticed that Broadcom's website is worthless. This iFixit teardown of a 13" TouchBar model indicates the WiFi chip is a "Apple/Universal Scientific Industrial (USI) 339S00428 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module", but I don't know if that applies to the 15". Searching for drivers for that chip was fruitless for me.


I also used brigadier to download the drivers. Digging through the folders, I didn't notice anything obviously related to Broadcom WiFi worth re-installing.


I've tried messing with the WiFi power management settings but haven't found anything reliable yet. Will keep an eye out for audio driver crashes. Let me know if I can provide any information.


One unusual thing about my setup is that I am on the Windows Insiders Slow Ring, so I already have the May 2019 update. Also, I develop regularly with Hyper-V (via Docker for Windows) and I've noticed on other machines it can interfere with networking - though not lead to driver crashes.

After battling with the driver issues causing stability problems in Windows 10 (W10) on MacBook Pro (MBP), I decided to give in and return the laptop. With neither Apple nor any other company backing the configuration, it's a huge risk I'm taking for a premium product. I'm a bit peeved that I spent countless hours debugging the issues and have nothing to show for it. Here are the reasons for my decision to return the laptop back to Apple:

    1. With numerous device driver issues lurking with W10 (on MBP), I cannot afford to waste any more time without any support to debug these issues every time there's an update to the OS.
    2. After 7 years since I bought my original MBP in 2012, the 2018 edition is certainly faster and alleviates the memory issues I've been having with my old MBP (because it has only 8 GB); however, given the amount of time elapsed since my original purchase and the incremental improvement in capability of MBP, it's not worth the premium price I paid for it.
    3. Battery performance in the 2018 edition is nothing to write home about as W10 is not optimized for MBP, the nearly 7 year-old battery on my old MBP is as good as the new one! The 2018 edition also heats up quite fast.


I can go on and on but these are the key reasons for my giving up on MBP 2018 edition. I'm back to using my old MBP as long as it lasts...


Adios Amigos!!


PS: With the experience I've gained debugging W10 on MBP, it feels like I can start providing BootCamp consulting in lieu of Apple as it's very frustrating to deal with the issues right after one purchases a new laptop without any support from the OEM!

Apr 29, 2019 4:18 PM in response to Loner T

Point well taken! Thanks!


I meant to say that the BootCamp installation process has come a long way since when I first used it in 2012! I simply couldn't get it to work in my 2012 MBP; therefore, I ended up installing W10 directly on MBP (BootCamp drivers on top of that, all done manually) and it has worked just fine for the last 7 years. In the 2018 edition, the BootCamp install was almost Parallels-like but the darn thing got into numerous device driver conflicts (after a successful W10 install), ruining the whole experience.
