Killer E2400 Ethernet drivers.

I built a pc yesterday, and occasionally I was getting IQRL_UNEXPECTED_VALUE blue screen errors. I looked into it and couldn't find anything that I thought was wrong so I continued using my computer. However, today I couldn't start up my computer without getting the same bsod error. I booted into safe mode and disabled my ethernet driver (Killer E2400) to see if that driver was causing windows to have problems. The computer booted just fine, and worked completely fine. However now I had no internet. I tried enabling the driver again to see if it was really the issue, and after a few minutes my computer bsod to IQRL_UNEXPECTED_VALUE again. It seems that my ethernet driver is causing my windows to crash. I tried installing the driver directly from their website instead of the motherboards website, and I had the same issue. I tried to see if there were any generic drivers for ethernet but I couldn't find any on the microsoft website. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

The driver isn't the issue, its the killer network manager that causes this. Get the Driver Only variant and you will be good to go.

 

Here's the driver I use on my system, it works perfectly (remember to get the driver only variant)...

How do you install it (there is no .exe or anything)...

Sorry for being annoying.
