I just started getting this bluescreen error recently. Ive gotten it 3 times now when i wasnt doing anything really. One time i woke up and came to my computer and it was restarted and i had left it on over night. There was a bluescreen log. One time i was browsing the internet, and today i was actually doing data recovery on a 4TB drive which took 8 hours to scan and as i was going through the file list check marking files to be recovered when it crashed.... now i have to run the 8 hour scan again.
I was looking through bluescreenview and while the bluescreen error says DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL L1C63x64.sys , bluescreenview is red flagging ACPI.sys and ntoskrnl.exe.
Some stuff on google is saying its my ethernet driver because of the initial error and ACPI.sys i believe is a file delivered by Microsoft. I was looking on microsofts forum page but i dont see a ready solution for this. Does anyone know what i should do to resolve this?
Here is the bluescreen dump report i just got today from bluescreenview below:

Solution
L1C63x64.sys is a driver for. "Qualcomm Atheros AR8171/8175 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)"

So, update your lan drivers.
ntoskrnl = windows kernel, often blamed for errors but its the victim here
