Random BSOD

Hello, I have recently gotten about 3 BSOD over the course of 2 weeks with the most recent happening about 30 minutes ago. I haven't downloaded anything new besides a few games. Since the first BSOD I have taken apart my pc to check for anything loose, reseated the CPU with new thermal paste and updated my bios and GPU drivers. I also have done a memtest that passed all tests so I am kind of at a loss of what it could be. Im assuming either a driver is corrupted or conflicting with something else as it I have only gotten these errors while browsing the internet, never while gaming or anything demanding. In Event Viewer the bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff8030fb54627, 0xffff960ba613ea58, 0xffff960ba613e260).

Here is the mini dump file as well: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gkp8l9qhmenmw10m5a9ml/101625-7828-01.dmp?rlkey=nfbwd0bctw1yjos5xnx7pzl4p&st=hgro6nbi&dl=0

If any other information is needed, let me know. I am off to work now so if its any kind of files ill have to upload when I get home. Thanks for any help!

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    The minidump points to a network-related driver as the source of the crash. This could have been triggered by the network adapter driver active at the time, a VPN driver, or third-party security software such as an antivirus or firewall.

    I suggest reinstalling your network adapter driver as instructed below.

    Before starting the procedure, download the latest network driver from the motherboard/computer manufacturer's website.

    Uninstall the current driver:

    1. Open "Device Manager" (Windows + X and select Device Manager);
    2. Expand "Network adapters";
    3. Right-click on the adapter and select "Uninstall device";

    (It may have more than one adapter. If you don't identify the correct one, share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.)

    1. On the confirmation screen, check "Attempt to remove the driver for this device" and click "Uninstall";
    2. Restart the PC.

    Then, run the driver installer you downloaded and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

    If the problem persists, and you have a VPN or third-party security software, uninstall it and see if the system works stably.

    If the BSOD occurs again after doing this, please share the minidump it created.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.
