Just today, I got my first BSOD on this computer which is still under a year old. Haven't changed the hardware or software in the past few days. The BSOD is giving an error "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" with the file "tcpip.sys" as a culprit. Some help with this would be really appreciated

PS All windows updates and updated drivers using Driver Genius, except for Nvidia (their new drivers are unstable)

are you running norton a/v if so it may be causing your prob.

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

Nope, I gave up on Symantec products years ago. Currently I'm running Comodo Internet Security (Free Edition) - all updated.

Thanks! Will do.

Went and posted the issue over at http://www.d-a-l.com/help/spyware-ad...tcpip-sys.html. They (Broni) gave me the green light for a clean system. The other day, I opened it up and sprayed out the dust which there was quite a bit of. Nonetheless, still getting the same BSOD's.
