I've been dealing with constant blue screens while casually using my computer, which is driving me nuts. I've checked my CPU and memory usage, and everything seems fine. Recently, I managed to resolve one issue with an unknown device in Device Manager. However, I'm still stuck with a Base System Device problem that just won't budge.
The device ID is PCIVEN_8086&DEV_464F&SUBSYS_7D411462&REV_02. Initially, I received a 'Kernel_Security_Check_Failure' error, but now it's showing 'Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal.' I've followed various advice to update the driver, but can't seem to find an update or a solution that actually works. I've even tinkered with my motherboard settings and Intel drivers, but can barely keep the computer running for 20 minutes before it crashes again. This DIY build is only two years old and has been great until now, so I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated!

If this keeps happening and you're really stuck, maybe it's time to consider getting a different system, like a Mac. They tend to have fewer driver issues if you're open to switching.
First, I recommend checking for dump files which can help with analyzing the BSODs. If you can access Windows normally or through Safe Mode, navigate to C:WindowsMinidump and see if there are any files there. If you find some, zip the folder and upload it to a file sharing site that's not blocked, like Catbox or Mediafire. Having multiple dump files will help in diagnosing the issue more accurately. Also, consider adjusting your dump settings to create small memory dumps for more consistent results.
Have you checked the Event Viewer around the times when the blue screens occur? It might provide some useful insights and error logs that can point you toward a specific issue.
Before you go too deep into troubleshooting, make sure to back up your important data first. After that, a clean install of Windows might be a good option. During the setup, delete the system partition to ensure a fresh start. Don’t forget to visit your motherboard's support page and download the latest chipset and system drivers!
