BSOD at seemingly random times, IRQL not less or equal (ndis.sys)

Zatchey · 24 Oct 2016

I don't remember for sure if it said ndis.sys, but I'm almost positive it was.
Anyways, I get this BSOD at random times, it usually happens while I'm streaming a video on YouTube or Netflix but I'm not sure if there's any correlation since that's what I'm usually doing.

I hear ndis.sys has to do with network drivers and can also cause latency issues, which might explain why I have a much more unstable ping while playing League of Legends, than my roommate who uses the same Wi-Fi.

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Dump indicates a problem with BitDefender AV:

Code:

ffffe701`84a148f8  fffff80c`d1d0168dUnable to load image \??\C:\Program Files\Common Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender Firewall\bdfndisf6.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for bdfndisf6.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for bdfndisf6.sys
 bdfndisf6+0x168d

Please uninstall it and run with the built-in Windows Defender for awhile, see if that resolves the problem. If yes you can stay with Windows Defender which is what I use or try a newer version of BitDefender or one of the other AV programs.
