Hey,
I've been having a BSOD problem for quite some time and don't know what to do anymore about it, I hope I can find help here.
Short version: almost an hour ago I've had a BSOD which said that it was caused by "ndis.sys" and its code was "Driver irql not less or equal"; as per the instructions, I've attached the associated dump.
Long version: this is not the first time I've had this problem; recently, I've had this problem some days ago, so I searched on the internet and saw this was tipically caused by drivers or ram. So i've done a memtest and it came out ok, then did some maintenance on the computer (changed cpu's thermal paste), and in the end I've done a fresh install of windows 10, less than a week ago; I've installed the drivers from the motherboard website and only then I've connected it to the internet, hoping there would be no driver problems. Now, some days later, this problem reoccured.
Both times it happened while I had a live from twitch open and also onenote, but I tend to do this often and don't usually have this problem, so I don't think it's related to these two specific applications (but I really don't know to be fair), to me it almost seems like it's random.
If it can be useful, this is a screenshot from HWiNFO so that you can have some info about my hardware
I'll post this too because maybe it could be useful: this is a screenshot from event viewer
Sadly these are all in Italian, but if it can be helpful I'd be more than happy to translate some or all of them in English. This particular one says "Control events not elaborated from transport. 0.", the "Critico" one is when I've had the BSOD.
Optional info: I don't think this could be useful so this text can be skipped, but I'm writing it because maybe it can help if an hardware failure is feared. This PC is quite old, I've had it since around 2013 and changed hard disks and ram because they had failed in the past. In late 2013 I tried to change the heatsink and I think I did some damage to the motherboard: some USB ports didn't work anymore and I had some bsod that had a code that was like "Bugcode-Usb-something". Reinstalling windows solved the bsod, but since then, if I went in "devices" there had always been an "unknown device" listed, and I always assumed they were the usb ports I broke (haven't tried them anymore in fear of causing more hardware malfunctions). This time though there is not, and I'm always scared that that malfunction could come up, cause bsod and force me to change motherboard and everything else. I list this as "optional info" because for these eight years it's been fine, I've had other bsod but not never relating to the moterboard at all, so I think it would be unlikely.
I'm not sure, but I think some years ago I've had this same bsod, and I noticed at first it was caused by launching an online game, and then it escalated and blocked me from using the computer because it would come up minutes after booting windows. Reinstalling windows did solve the problem that time though. If you think this could be related, I'd be more to happy to be more specific about this story.
I'm truly at a loss, and I thank you kindly for reading and possibly helping. If you need anything - more info, results of tests etc. - I'll be more than happy to comply!
