Question Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller has a Hardware IO error.

[ThunderDrago]

Hello,

I have been having issues with my pc randomly crashing, as well as BSOD nearly every time I shut down for the night. I have had varying errors including MEMORY_MANAGEMENT to IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Would someone be able to help decipher the minidump file that got created from my last crash? I'm not sure what the best way to upload the file is.

2.5GbE motherboard chipsets from Realtek and Intel are well known for instability problems. Try the Realtek web site and see if you can find a more recent driver than the ones on your motherboard web site.

I disabled the 2.5GbE chipset in the BIOS on my motherboard and installed a 10GbE PCIe NIC instead (I have two 10GbE LANs).

Thank you for the advice! Looking further into my Event Viewer, I'm not completely sure if the error is being caused by the 2.5GbE controller, as there is some time between that error and the actual crash. Is it possible that there is something else causing the issues?
