BSOD "tcpip.sys", already tried repairing Win11, new BIOS update and new network drivers. What else can I do?

Here's my minidumps since 5 days ago: https://www.mediafire.com/file/83qxlij3brx3pdd/111325-8187-01.zip/file and a new one today https://mega.nz/file/xwYSmZRL#krKw8YczDqaiIIf5KFu0HzRrkTksyiekg3_YdhdebLA

I keep getting BSOD crashes on my Win11 system, every few hours it happens, just about when I think the problem is finally fixed it BSODs again for the exact same reason.

The issue is supposedly tcpip.sys according to Bluescreenview and WhoCrashed, so this is a driver issue. I installed new drivers for my wired network adapter and... BSOD after a couple hours, again.

I tried some cmd commands like the ones detailed in this thread and sure enough, after some use it BSOD's again.

I updated my BIOS just now (since that was a recommended step in every thread I could find) and it hasn't BSOD'd so far but I doubt that was the solution. Guess I'll let you know if it was (since I just got done with that, so can't know if that was it as of now)

I've been using my PC for 5 years with Win10 and it has only started doing this since I switched to Win11. Can anyone go through the minidumps for me and help me out?

    Please reinstall network drivers from MSI site.

    I removed the suspicious driver and the e1d.sys file, then downloaded the driver for Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (10) I219-V again from the website. I made sure the new e1d.sys file says last modified in 2025, and that traces of the old driver are removed.

    Unfortunately, I just crashed again. New minidump: https://1drv.ms/u/c/81f83c2704edbce9/IQADdHRp6TxMQptMmXOwVVVrAVonnSil7E99u_dNMzdDmOM?e=xVYZMe

    It's the exact same error as before. Nothing changed. I used my Windows for 5 hours today until it crashed again at the expected time (it always does when I use the PC for 4-5 hours)

    If my intel network adapter is the issue, would getting a new adapter or a different way to connect (Wifi, or a USB -> Ethernet adapter) bypass the issue? I would just remove the problematic hardware/driver and rely on a different way to connect instead. If this is a hardware issue (and the network adapter really is the reason) then this is the only thing I can think of trying.

    Dump points to e1d.sys file, seems it is a part of Intel LAN controller driver. Could it be that you installed this driver not from MSI site but from some other site? If yes, please reinstall correct driver.

    Check MSI site for updated BIOS and chipset (motherboard) driver.

    Hi.

    My name is Igor. It's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll try to help you. I am merely a fellow user trying to provide insight and information that may be helpful to others.

    Please do not use sites with a lot of ads. Share several memory minidumps to OneDrive for analysis.

    mega.nz shows temporary error to me.

    Likely the problem is in some network driver, BlueScreenView may show incomplete information unfortunately.

    If you're experiencing repeated BSODs related to tcpip.sys after updating drivers and BIOS, here are some additional troubleshooting steps you can take:

    1. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is fully updated. Sometimes, Microsoft releases patches that address known issues.
    2. Run Network Troubleshooter: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network troubleshooter. This can help identify and fix network-related issues.
    3. Reset TCP/IP Stack: You can reset the TCP/IP stack by running the following command in an elevated Command Prompt: 
         netsh int ip reset
      After running this command, restart your computer.
    4. Check for Malware: Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or another reputable antivirus program to ensure that malware isn't causing the issue.
    5. Disable Third-Party Security Software: If you have third-party antivirus or firewall software, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the BSOD issues.
    6. Check Event Viewer: Look for any critical errors in the Event Viewer that occurred around the time of the crashes. This can provide more insight into what might be causing the problem.
    7. Perform a Clean Boot: Boot your system with minimal startup programs and services to see if a background program is causing the issue. You can do this by typing msconfig in the Run dialog, selecting Selective startup, and disabling Load startup items.
    8. Reinstall Network Drivers: Even though you've installed new drivers, consider uninstalling the network adapter from Device Manager and then reinstalling it. This can sometimes resolve underlying issues.
    9. Run Memory Diagnostics: Use the Windows Memory Diagnostics tool to check for memory issues. You can find this tool in the Control Panel under Administrative Tools.
    10. Check for Hardware Issues: If the problem persists, it may be worth checking for hardware issues, such as faulty RAM or a failing hard drive.

    If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to consider rolling back to Windows 10 if the BSODs continue to be problematic after the upgrade to Windows 11.
