Hey everyone! I upgraded my PC about a month ago, and since June, I've been dealing with frequent Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) showing the 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' error. I've already updated the drivers (even fixed one that was missing), checked my RAM (no issues detected), and tried some console commands. Just today, it crashed again even when I wasn't doing anything intensive. I installed Bluescreenview, but I'm not sure how to interpret the findings. I read something about unauthorized memory usage, but I'm at a loss for how to fix it without resorting to a complete wipe (which I really want to avoid). If anyone could lend their expertise, I'd appreciate it!

It sounds like you need to gather the dump files for a deeper analysis of your BSOD issues. These files are essentially crash logs that can help identify the root cause. If you can boot into Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check for dump files in C:WindowsMinidump. You can zip these files and upload them to a file-sharing service like Catbox or Mediafire. It's good to have multiple dump files if possible, and if you end up with just one, follow a guide to set your system to create more small memory dumps. That way, you can gather more useful data for troubleshooting.
Before diving deep, let’s make sure your BIOS is up to date! As long as the BIOS menus are functioning properly without issues, updating it to the latest version can help. You can find that on your motherboard’s support page. After that, download the latest AMD Chipset drivers specific to your motherboard. Install the chipset drivers only, as others might cause conflicts. Check if these updates help with the BSODs. Also, if you’re unsure about stabling the BIOS, it's usually safer to go for the latest version unless there are specific complaints about a newer one causing problems.
