Hey everyone! I've upgraded my PC last month, and since the start of June, I've been experiencing random BSODs with the code "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". I've already tried updating drivers—there was one that was missing, but even after updating, the crashes continue. I also scanned my RAM, and no hardware issues popped up, plus I did some troubleshooting through the PC console. It crashed again just an hour ago while I wasn't even doing anything intensive. I tried installing Bluescreenview, but I'm kind of lost on what the findings mean. I read something online about unauthorized memory usage, but I really have no clue how to fix it without wiping my system clean (I've heard that might work, but I want to avoid that). Any advice would be super appreciated! Also, I have a link to the folder containing the DMP error files if that would help, but I'm unsure what to do next.

First off, you'll want to gather those dump files when you can. They contain crash logs from the BSODs and are crucial for understanding what's going wrong. If you can start Windows normally or through Safe Mode, check your C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files. If you find some, copy that folder to your desktop, zip it up, and upload it to a file sharing site. Multiple dump files would give us better insight into the issue! Make sure to follow a guide on how to set up your system to create small memory dumps if needed.
Got it! I'll check for those dump files and follow the steps you mentioned. Thanks!
