Question BSOD with the error irql not less or equal

[yamkzs]

this error does not seem to specify any specific thing that is causing it and this is the first time experiencing this. i have the dump file but im not sure how to display it on site nor how to open it properly to get info out of it.

Specs:
RTX 2080
i5 9700k
650W psu

install whocrashed home edition and run it and then click analyze to analyze the dump file. it will tell you the bsod name and the file responsible for it

btw how many bsod have u gotten until now? if it's only one then ignore it because it's a coincidence. if you are getting a lot of bsod in a short while then it's a problem

what are rest of specs of the PC?

Can you follow option one on the following link - here - and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD - that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD

copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a file sharing web site, and share the link in your thread so we can help fix the problem

Whocrashed will blame ntoskrnl 90% of the time or if you really lucky, actually mention the actual driver at fault. ntoskrnl = windows kernel. its what crashed but that doesn't tell you why
