    I keep getting this error. Tried re-installing the Broadcom driver, but it's still giving me BSODs.

    Anybody else have this issue at one point? If so, how did you fix it?

    This issue at one point seemed to also be preventing the laptop from shutting down - it would simply restart each time.

    Never had it but seem to be an error in the register. First uninstall the driver. Then do a register cleaning with ccleaner or better soft or yourself if you know about keys. And check if you might have an virus. You can try Spyboot search&destroy. Than you can try reinstall driver, but use from dell or a good site: touslesdrivers.com in french.
