Hey everyone, I upgraded my PC last month, and I've been running into a ton of random BSODs since June. The error code is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I've tried updating all my drivers (even found one that was missing, but that didn't help), scanned my RAM (and it came back fine), and tinkered a bit in the PC console. It even crashed again while I was just doing some regular stuff. I attempted to use Bluescreenview, but I'm kind of lost on what it means. I read something about unauthorized memory being involved, but I want to avoid wiping everything if I can. I'd really appreciate any advice! Also, here's a link to my DMP error files if anyone can take a look: [BSOD DMP Files](https://www.mediafire.com/file/o9udi2la0att8bx/BSOD_dmp.zip/file)

First off, make sure your BIOS is stable when you're adjusting settings. If it is, updating it to the latest version could help—especially with BSOD issues. Get the latest BIOS from MSI for your board. After that, download and install the latest AMD Chipset Drivers from their official site too, but just stick to the main chipset driver, as some others could cause issues. See how your system performs after these updates.
It sounds like you're on the right path, but dump files would really help diagnose the issue better. If you can get into your system, check for dump files in C:WindowsMinidump and upload them to a file sharing site like Mediafire or Catbox. Collecting multiple dump files will give folks more to work with. Also, consider changing your dump settings to Small Memory Dump as explained in [this guide](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-configure-windows-10-create-minidump-bsod.html) to get smaller, easily managed dumps.
Got it! I’ll check that out. Thanks for the tips! That guide looks really helpful.
Thanks for the info! I heard mixed things about BIOS updates. Is it safe to go for the latest one, or should I look for an older version?
