I've been getting recurring blue screens in Windows 10 with the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, but I can't determine which driver or hardware component is responsible. I have a crash dump file and would like to analyze or share the relevant information so someone can help identify the cause. What's the best way to do that?

Faulty or unstable RAM is another common cause of this stop code. Run a memory diagnostic, and if you have multiple sticks, test them individually if possible.
I already have the dump file; I’m trying to figure out the safest and most useful way to provide its details so others can help identify the underlying problem.
A dump-analysis tool such as BlueScreenView can show which driver was active when the crash occurred. Treat the result as a clue rather than absolute proof, since the listed driver isn’t always the true cause.
Try removing any hardware you added recently, then boot Windows into Safe Mode. If the crashes stop there, that points toward a third-party driver or recently installed device.
Sharing the analysis output—such as the bug-check details and suspected module—is usually more useful than uploading the entire dump. Also include recent driver, hardware, or software changes.
