I'm experiencing a recurring blue screen of death (BSOD) on my Windows 11 system, showing the error DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, specifically linked to the tcpip.sys driver. This issue occurs whether I'm using Ethernet or Wi-Fi. I've already tried a long list of troubleshooting steps, including resetting network settings, updating drivers, running malware scans, and even a full Windows reset, but the BSOD still happens roughly once a week, often seemingly at random. I'm running out of options and would greatly appreciate any help or advice!

It sounds like you've done a ton of troubleshooting! One thing to check is if you have any overclocking settings enabled in your BIOS. Sometimes, even if you didn't set them yourself, the default XMP profile could set your RAM speed too high. Try disabling any overclocking in the BIOS or loading optimized defaults and see if that helps. Good luck!
You should definitely collect some dump files for better analysis. If you can boot into Windows, look in C:WindowsMinidump for any files. Zip them up and upload to a file-sharing site like MediaFire or Catbox, so we can take a closer look at what might be causing the crashes. Multiple dump files are even better for diagnosing the issue!
Just a heads up, if you're making any changes in BIOS, make sure you back up your important files first. You never know what can happen, and it's better to be safe than sorry. If you're unsure about anything, feel free to ask!
