Hello
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

It looks like you're dealing with a system crash caused by a SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error in the NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) module (NDIS.SYS). The error details suggest an access violation occurred at memory address fffff801974a556b.
The exception code c0000005 often indicates an attempt to read or write to a memory location that the system does not have permission to access, potentially due to a null pointer dereference (AV.Dereference: NullPtr). The particular function ndisCreateStringStreamEntry within the NDIS module seems to be implicated in causing this issue.
To troubleshoot this error:
Driver Issues: Given that NDIS.SYS is a network-related driver, outdated or incompatible network drivers could be the root cause. Consider updating or reinstalling your network drivers.
Memory Corruption: Check if there's any faulty RAM by running memory diagnostics tools. Faulty RAM can cause access violations like the one you're experiencing.
System File Corruption: Conduct a system file check using the sfc /scannow command in the Command Prompt to verify and repair corrupted system files.
Windows Updates: Ensure your system is fully updated. Sometimes, Microsoft releases patches or fixes that can address such issues.
Third-Party Software: If the crash started occurring after installing new software, try uninstalling it to see if that resolves the problem.
