Hi Trouble,
Thanks for your swift response. I've upgraded all the drivers you suggest except the Atheros one (the download link you suggested gave me a zipped archive,
but I'm unsure how best to go about installing the drivers contained within (there doesn't seem to be any kind of installer attached).
In any case, I will monitor my system (ie. play more games
) and let you know if the problem persists.
Cheers,
Sir Thursday
I suspect that your network devices are still involved and according to your latest dump files three of the five files that I suggested updating in my original post are still reflecting the same dates
hamachi.sys 2/19/2009 update, uninstall or rename to hamachi.OLD you can always rename back to hamachi.sys if it proves not to be at fault.
netr28ux.sys 5/24/2009 Wireless Network Adapter (Possibly Linksys with RaLink Chipset) update from here

L1E62x64.sys 8/23/2009 Atheros Ethernet Adapter update from here
Link Removed

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. [COLOR=#ff0000][U][B]This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.[/B][/U][/COLOR]
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.

Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL

bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)

As far as installing driver files that are contained within zipped archives, first you have to extract them, I personally use a piece of software called 7zip, but you can use anyone you are comfortable with including the built in windows 7 extractor.
Once extracted you need to force the install by using device manager.
Locate the device you wish to update
Right click it and choose properties
Select the driver tab
click the update driver button
Browse my computer for driver software
Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Have disk button
Browse button
Use the Locate File dialog box to browse to the folder where you have downloaded and extracted the files to, in the case of the Atheros driver you'll be looking for netL1e64.inf (3/29/2010), double click it and OK and next until finished.
NOTE: To answer your other question
As I mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to install the Atheros
drivers...
how likely is it that those are the problem?
I would think, quite probable. Since your dump files are still reflecting problems with drivers and all your most recent dumps reflect "League of Lege" which I assume is the online game you are having issues with.... unless of course there is something inherently wrong with the game itself and you need some updates and patches to correct it, in which case I might suggest checking their forum boards and see if there are any other players with similar issues. But if it's happening with other online games as well, then it's still likely a driver issue.
