I'm having daily freezes and crashes and blue screens of death! I'm going CRAZY! I've googled the messages I get:
IRQL not less than or equal
WHEA uncorrectable blah blah
There was one about a kernal?
attemped execute of no execute memory

The solutions I've read all say either a driver or hardware. On the device manager, there are no devices with a ! on them, PLUS ive gone through each item and they all say they have the latest drivers.

I know it's a hardware issue. Guides say "Find the hardware at fault" but HOW? None of them tell me how to find which specific hardware is causing this nightmare.

Here is my minidump folder along with computer specs and dxdiag:

I will try this when i can.

I did notice this morning that the device manager showed a questioned item. It shows a PCI Device, listed under 'Other Devices'. It sees that there is a device there, but cannot tell what kind of device it is. I tried uninstalling it but it came back after a reset. Trying to update the driver, it said "could not find drivers for your device', and when i looked at properties, it said

'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.'
Start with reinstalling your motherboard drivers.

So i went to the Del 8910 support drivers page and did an update, everything was fine, said i was up to date.

But then... I did a "quick test to identify common hardware issues".... and I got the following 3 errors:



CPU FANFan FAILURE

PCI DevicePCI FAILURE

PCIeStatusPCI Status FAILURE

Okay when I went to...

Manually find a specific driver for your XPS 8910​


It shows me 15 drivers for various devices, including 3 it says are critical, so I'm going to do that.
