Hello
The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (7e) error is a common BugCheck that usually indicates a system thread generated an exception that was not caught by the error handler. This specific error often points to a problematic driver or function. In your case, the exception code 0xc0000005 suggests an access violation, and the address fffff80436475f5e pinpoints the location where the exception occurred, which is within the ndis.sys module.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
Identify the Faulty Driver: The exception address can help identify the driver or function causing the problem. In your case, it points to ndis.sys, which is related to network drivers.
Update Drivers: Ensure all hardware drivers are up-to-date, especially those related to network components. Updating the ndis.sys driver might resolve the issue.
Check for Memory Issues: Run memory diagnostic tools like MemTest86 to check for RAM errors. Memory issues can sometimes cause access violations.
Boot in Safe Mode: If the system is unstable, boot into Safe Mode to perform troubleshooting steps. Safe Mode loads only essential drivers, which can help isolate the problematic driver.
Use System Restore: If the problem started recently, you can use System Restore to revert the system to a previous state when it was stable.
Check for Windows Updates: Ensure your system is up-to-date with the latest Windows updates. Sometimes, Microsoft releases patches that fix issues with specific drivers or system functions.
