Hi everyone, this is my first post so I'm not that fond of the forum yet.

I keep getting BSOD Saying IRQL not Less but not equal. It only seems to be happening to my cpu when I am watching media such as YouTube. It runs for maybe five minutes then error code IRQL LESS BUT NOT EQUAL Shows up.

I've done some researching and downloaded WhoCrasehd and I got these reports:

On Mon 8/19/2013 12:45:50
AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file:
C:\Windows\Minidump\081813-13478-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the
following module: tcpip.sys (0xFFFFF8800196B245)
Bugcheck code: 0xD1
(0x0, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFF8800196B245)
Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

file path:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System

company: Microsoft Corporation
description: TCP/IP
Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode driver
attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This
appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a
hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your
system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by
another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.




Hopefully you guys can shed some light on these because I've grown tired of trying to find out what this is.
