Last month, I upgraded my PC hardware, and since early June, I've been dealing with frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors showing "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I've tried updating all my drivers (even found one that was missing), scanned the RAM, and attempted some fixes using the console, but the crashes keep happening—just recently while I wasn't running any intensive tasks. I installed Bluescreenview, but I'm not quite sure how to interpret the results. After some research, I found out this might relate to unauthorized memory usage, but I'm hesitant to erase everything to fix it. Any advice would be appreciated! I've also shared the DMP error files that might help diagnose the issue.

Make sure your BIOS is up to date, especially if everything seems stable otherwise. Head over to the MSI website to grab the latest version for your motherboard. After that, don’t forget to download and install the latest AMD Chipset Drivers specifically for your board. Those have been known to fix various issues in some setups!
To really tackle BSOD issues like these, you'll need those dump files for a proper analysis. Check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files that might be there. If you find any, zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing service like Mediafire or Catbox. It’s crucial to have multiple dump files to work with, so if you only have one, try adjusting your settings to create Small Memory Dumps, which won’t overwrite previous ones. Follow this [guide](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-configure-windows-10-create-minidump-bsod.html) to set it up!
Got it! I’ll check for those dump files and find a way to upload them.
Thanks! I’ve been worried about updating the BIOS; is it okay to go with the newest version? Some folks say to pick an older one instead.
