Windows 10 BSOD caused by QCamain10x64.sys and IntelHaxm.sys

[ChromeNine]

My laptop crashed with STOP code DEVICE_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, stating that QCamain10x64.sys had failed, which according to Google, is the driver of my laptop's wireless adapter. Just to make sure before attempting to reinstall the driver via device manager, I saw this wiki which showed how to track down misbehaving drivers. Upon following the instructions, the driver verifier prompted a BSOD with STOP code DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION, referencing IntelHaxm.sys. The laptop had only crashed once due to the first STOP code, but I just want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
