Driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

Hi, recently i have been getting BSODS with the error message DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x000000d1 and it also said tcpip.sys. I have the minidump folders but i have no clue how to open or read them. This only happens to me when I am playing a game called League of Legends. I doubt that League of Legends is the cause, and its just a coincidence. I have had this error message before and i solved it by updating some drivers in the network adapter area in my device manager. I forget exatly which, but i will list them for you:

Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card
Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

Also I tried updating my video card drivers (Ati HD 5770), though i did not uninstall the old ones and i did it through steam, which i doubt is very reliable. I did it properly this time but i had no time to test my system by playing league of legends because i am too anxious to make sure the problem is gone. Though i hope that installing the new drivers properly fixed it.

Also i should note that the ram i have is pretty new, and i doubt is bad since i recently had bad ram and this new ram solved all of those problems. I have not tested it with memtest yet but i am pretty confident.

Minidump reads that the last recent BSOD i had was January 19th 2011, and then i had 2 today on the 29th. All 3 were the same BSOD. And before those times, I had not had a BSOD in an extremely long time. The only thing that changed with my computer was my mouse, i got the razer mamba for christmas. Is that a possible cause?

Any suggestions would help alot. Thanks.

If you wish to have others assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder. The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
* Briefly describe the problem history and circumstances in the same post. Somebody will attend to your query as soon as possible.

ok posted it, i thought it was enough if i name some things of my bsod. Also can somebody tell me how to read these dmp files?

Are you overclocking?

Can you fill in your System specs?

Run memtest memory diagnostics extended for 6 passes or so.
