Question BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Constantly

gobitoe · Jan 27, 2021

Description of the issue:

My web pages will constantly crash, until my computer eventually just bluescreens. The most common BSOD I get is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", though I do get some other ones like PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGE_AREA or MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.
This has been happening consistently, at least a couple times a day, ever since I have gotten this computer built.

My computer does not crash ever if I am running the web page / program in full screen mode. It only crashes on windowed mode. My computer used to have more issues, which I was able to find that it was my motherboard. I have since changed my motherboard, but I am still getting the three issues stated above. It does not crash when playing ANY games. It will ONLY crash when I am in applications that are not in full screen.

These BSOD will sometimes happen when I first boot my computer, though rarely, and most of the time it will be the IRQL one.

What I have done:

Update every driver in device manager
Change my motherboard
Run memtest (It found 0 errors, though someone has told me that my RAM could still have issues)
Reset my computer completely
Re install windows
Switch parts of my computer with my friend's, which were all compatible. I have tried: RAM, GPU, SSD, HDD. My PC was still crashing after every part. We did not try the CPU because his CPU was not compatible with mine.
Update my BIOS
Check that the memory was matching on my BIOS
Check that the voltages were fine in my BIOS

My assumption:

- It is most likely a physical issue somewhere on one of my part, but I want to know which one so I can replace it.

This is a big issue for me because I am now unable to use my computer for school or work, and I am forced to use some <Mod Edit> laptop because my computer has become highly unstable. I want to avoid having to run a driver verifier and brick my computer as I still use it and need it every day, and multiple people I have asked have told me it is probably a faulty part, without any more help.

My build:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING II ATX AM4 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
Kingston A400 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive - WINDOWS IS ON THIS DRIVE
Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
PowerColor Radeon RX 570 4 GB Red Dragon Video Card

No I am not overclocking anything to my knowledge. I have checked multiple times to see if anything was being overclocked.

Could be CPU, or PSU or MB, since you didn't try swapping those.

you already tried another SSD, and it crashed... so i feel this is a symptom of the problem, not actual cause.
if you getting loads of restarts that will corrupt the install.

I think you need to take PC to a store and ask them to swap out everything and see if they can work it out.

try running this on it - https://www.techspot.com/downloads/7050-asus-realbench.html

Hello gobitoe.

After reading through all six crash dumps, this problem seems more-so memory (RAM) related. The reason behind this is that all six crash dumps have no correlation, not pin pointing one software. However, it could be a CPU-based problem, but only if certain criteria is met. For starters, try running Memtest86 just once more. It could pass the first time, but it may not pass the second. If any memory modules fail the test, replace (or remove) them accordingly. In addition, ensure that you do not have XMP enabled in the BIOS. XMP is a setting in your BIOS (nowadays UEFI) that allows you to overclock your memory. If it is enabled, try disabling it. Also, you should probably disable overclocking on any hardware altogether, if this applies to you in any way, shape, or form. Now, as goes for potential problems from the CPU, ensure you are not overvolting or undervolting your CPU. Too much voltage can harm a CPU (I assume you knew this), but undervolting a CPU can also cause problems, such as single bit flips (enough to take down a system). Would also like to state that you never gave us information on the version of Windows you are using. If possible, boot into the machine and execute 'winver.exe' (or use the search bar at the bottom left). Provide us with the exact build you are using (e.g. Microsoft Windows Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1316). One more question, as this can also be a root of many problems, what brand and how old is your power supply? If it is a Chinese or older power supply (give or take seven years), you should consider replacing it.

Even though you swapped before, take 1 stick out & test, then try the other stick on it's own.

Memtest86+
