[Drewby1012]

Hi i have an asus cm 1730 desktop.
i was downloading something from origin and surfing the web when it crashed and this is what shows up in blue screen viewer. ntoskrnl.exe and tcpip.sys.

it also said Driver IRQL less or equal

i tried restoring my pc to a previous point and removing older nvidia drivers since now im using Radeon HD 7950 but that didnt solve the problem.

tcpip.sys BSOD can often be caused by security apps. For testing purpose please remove Total Defense Security Suite and use Microsoft Security Essentials in its place.
