BSOD Random, Minidump inc. - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL tcpip.sys

[thussain]

Hi, I don't know what's happened but I haven't installed any new hardware or software. This happened out the blue (no pun intended) and now it doesn't stop. My NetGear USB Wireless Adapter no longer connects to the Internet if that gives anyone any clue. I don't know what to do and I have been searching for solutions for the past two hours.

I have attached the MiniDump - I have no clue how to analyse it. Please help.

I did a System Restore to an earlier date, that didn't help.

Additional information is required.

1. Download the DM Log Collector application to your desktop by clicking the link below

DM Log Collector.exe

2. Run it by double-clicking the icon on your desktop, and follow the prompts.
3. Locate the .ZIP file that is created on your desktop, and upload it here in your next reply.

Thanks for your reply. I have attached the zip file as requested.

Any help please? I can't use my desktop at all as this keeps happening randomly and I haven't got a clue as to the cause?

The .dmp files dont give many clues to the problem.

Please do the following:

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Driver Verifier will cause your computer to run very sluggishly - this is normal. What it is trying to do is force your system to BSOD and isolate the offending driver/s. When it does, reboot, disable driver verifier, reboot as normal and upload the new dmp file/s here.

I recommend creating a system restore point before turning on driver verifier:

If your system fails to boot to desktop once driver verifier is enabled, turn it off by booting into Safe Mode:

In case anyone else has this problem and can't a solution, mine was faulty RAM i.e. After 4 years it just stopped working out the blue (no pun intended). I replaced the faulty stick and no more BSOD.
