Hey everyone, I've been running into a pretty frustrating issue while playing Expedition 33. My system keeps crashing and I'm getting the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD error. Here are my specs:
- **OS:** Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
- **CPU:** Intel Core i7-10700KF @ 3.80GHz (Comet Lake)
- **RAM:** 16GB Dual-Channel @ 1596MHz
- **Motherboard:** ASUS TUF GAMING B560-PLUS WIFI
- **Graphics:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (MSI)
- **Storage:** Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe SSD
I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and found no faults. Also, I have my dump files ready for analysis. Here's a link to the minidump. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

To start, make sure to grab those dump files from C:WindowsMinidump if you can access Windows normally or through Safe Mode. Once you have them, zip up the folder and upload it somewhere like catbox.moe so we can analyze the crash logs. This will really help pinpoint the issue!
What version of the graphics drivers are you using? Sometimes outdated or even the latest drivers can cause issues. If you updated to the Nvidia v. 576.28, give it a shot to play a bit and see if the problem persists!
I've got the latest drivers, but I only just updated them. I'll test it out and let you know how it goes!
