    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    Reporting back. No BSOD so far after replacing the CPU, everything runs well. I also turned off Asus's AI enhancement setting, which restores the default CPU power limit. @Satan-IR @ubuysa Thank you guys for helping along the way! I've learned a lot during the past two weeks. I will edit my...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I should be receiving the RMA CPU today, will test and report back. During my research this week, I learned that all Asus Z790 motherboard has Asus Multicore Enhancement set to ON by DEFAULT in the Bios. This setting will override the CPU's power limit and bascially supply the CPU with...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    @Satan-IR @ubuysa I did create the install drive on my other laptop (since I couldn't even get into windows on the problematic PC). BIOS was update to latest version when the BSOD started about 2 weeks ago. This morning, I remove all SSD (3 of them), and installed a brand new one I just...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    So I was trying to do a fresh install from a usb drive (followed instruction on the pinned post) after re seat my SSD. However, when the install finishes and the PC restarts automatically, it goes into another BSOd loop with same error code 0xc000021a every time. Tried install a second time...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    It’s very similar to this one I’m having. I could not boot into windows, it goes into a mobo logo>BSOD>restart>mobo logo>self repair>repair fail > restart > BSOD loop. I was able to fix it by doing a wipe on system drive and did a fresh install of windows. But I still get BSOD occasionally after...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I honestly don’t remember if anything changed on 1/3. But I had a breakdown and did a fresh install back in late December last year. The system wasn’t stable after that. The breakdown was also a BSOD loop, I couldn’t get into windows so I just did a fresh install. Didn’t do much diagnostic back...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    Update: after enable DV and reboot, it immediately goes into BSOD loop. I can boot into safe mode, but nothing else. Does that point to driver issue? Unfortunately since I can’t boot normally, I won’t be able to collect dump files. Now I have a more pressing issue, the PC doesn’t even post...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    Yes, I'm only using the new kit (2 sticks only) for RAM. Not mixing any thing else. For Prime95, I ran the "Blend" test which I assume incorporates all the other tests. I haven't tried DV yet, I am going to back up my system first (I heard it may cause BSOD loop). If everything fails, I will...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I ran overnight memtest86 on my new RAM and the passed. However, I was able to run Prime95 stress test for 3 hours without error when I just installed the RAM. But today when I try it again, Prime95 gave BSOD within minutes. I didn't change anything to the system during the past couple of days...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I left the PC on and went outside Yes, I am using Office365 (annual subscription) which is linked to my microsoft account. I will try to update it. Good point on the fresh install of windows. I also prefer to identify the root of the issue instead of reset my PC everytime it happens ;) I've...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I uninstalled Amory Crates and encountered a BSOD during the uninstall, and another one after it's uninstalled lol. But now that software is GONE! (I used a uninstall tool provided by Asus). The 14TB WD was mainly used to back up media and used as my Plex streaming storage, usually I don't...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I don't have a bluetooth modem, the Mobo has wifi feature but not sure about BT modem. Let me check on that. My PC is connected to internet via ethernet cable. I DID install ASUS ARMORY CRATE!!! Because I wanted it to check if all my drivers/chipsets are up to date :( Should I uninstall the...

    Here you go, I took screenshots for the past couple days (3/7/24 to 3/12/24), I installed new RAM kit on 3/10/24. View: https://imgur.com/a/AijPoy3 Some additional info on the processes: - VaM.exe is a video game I play regularly, and it crashes all the time. But I rarely get a BSOD while...

    [SOLVED] BSOD loop at startup with error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but can boot into safe mode ?

    I did run extended tests with HDsentiel, all drives show 100% healthy with 0 bad sectors. So I thought the drives are good too! Now, the SFC scan thing is interesting. The first time I ran it, it says ”windows resource protection could not perform the requested operation.“ I did some research...
