Didn't have a BSOD for years, had one out of the blue after installing my new NVIDIA graphics card. Did a Google search as both ntoskrnl.exe and tcpip.sys were both causing issues.
Reinstalled NVIDIA drivers (straight from the NVIDIA website) and also tried to update my network card drivers which were massively out of date to no avail.
Any help is appreciated!

The Windows 7 installation is not genuine.
I doubt that members here will help until that is rectified.
My computer was purchased second hand, but came with a fresh Windows 7 install from the guy I purchased from. Guess I should have guessed it wasn't genuine since everything else was a shambles with it too.
I appreciate your advice, I assume there's no way I can purchase a genuine copy without the need to reinstall my current Windows installation? I'd be happy to if it's as simple as entering a genuine key, if not I'll have to wait as I have more important family matters consuming my time at the moment.
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately, I'm not well versed on your options. Let me ask for help from some other forum members.
I totally understand about real life - family matters.

Ignore errors produced when clicking on the Copy button - they simply mean that the tool could not create the backup files for some reason. The data is still copied to the clipboard for pasting to your response.
Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!
