I've been getting recurring blue-screen crashes in Windows 10 with the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. I'm not sure which driver or hardware component is responsible. I have a crash dump file available and would like to know the best way to analyze or share its relevant details so the cause can be identified.

I already have the dump file and was hoping to use it to figure out what’s actually causing the problem. What information from the dump should I provide for others to analyze?
A crash-dump viewer can often show the driver that was active when Windows crashed. Treat the result as a clue rather than absolute proof, since the named driver may only be where the failure surfaced.
Faulty memory is another common cause of this error. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic or, preferably, a thorough bootable memory test. If you have multiple RAM sticks, testing them individually can help identify a bad module.
Start by disconnecting any hardware you added recently, then boot into Safe Mode. If the crashes stop there, that points toward a third-party driver or recently installed device.
