I'm encountering the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL blue screen error when using my PC. This happens periodically, whether I'm playing games or even when the PC is just idle. I've already reinstalled Windows and updated my GPU drivers, but the issue persists. I have a dump file that might help diagnose the problem. What steps should I take next to resolve this?

It's been a while since I've seen IRQ errors! They often indicate a hardware issue. I recommend unplugging any unnecessary devices and check if that helps. Also, ensure that all your drivers and software are updated to the latest versions.
To accurately diagnose the BSOD, you need to gather the crash logs from your system. If you can access Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check the folder at C:WindowsMinidump for the dump files. Zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site. It's useful to have multiple dump files for analysis, so if you only have one, make sure to adjust your settings to create smaller memory dumps in the future.
From what I've seen, this could be a memory error. Diagnosing with just one dump file is tricky, but if it only happened after your recent Windows download, old dump files might be gone. You’ll want to collect any new dump files if the error occurs again.
