Hey everyone! So I recently upgraded my PC last month and since the beginning of June, I've been dealing with some frustrating random blue screens of death (BSOD) that show the error code "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I've tried updating my drivers (even fixed a missing one), scanned the RAM (which came back fine), and did some troubleshooting with the console, but it crashed again an hour ago while I was just casually using it. I attempted to use Bluescreenview to diagnose the issue but I'm not really sure how to interpret the results. Additionally, I've read online that this could be related to unauthorized memory usage, but I'm at a loss for how to fix this without resorting to a full system wipe, which I really want to avoid. I've also included a link to the DMP error files if anyone can help analyze those.

To get a clearer picture of what’s causing those BSODs, you should check for dump files, which are essentially crash logs. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for any dump files. Zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or Mediafire. It helps to have multiple dump files to analyze. Follow this guide to change your dump settings to Small Memory Dump if needed, especially if you don’t see many files.
