[SOLVED] Frequent irql_not_less_or_equal errors after moving Windows 10

[petrock25]

Hey all, I recently upgraded my storage from an HDD to a Samsung 860 Evo 1tb ssd. I cloned my C drive from my hard drive, which contained windows, onto the ssd so that I could get faster startups. As well as that, I moved a portion of my steam library onto the drive. However, seemingly at random times, my pc crashes to BSOD because of an "irql_not_less_or_equal." I tried repairing the disk, but the issue still persists. I would really appreciate some help.

System:
CPU - Intel i5 7600k
Mobo - Asus TUF Z270 Mark 2
GPU - Nvidia GTX 1080
RAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 2400MHz DDR4 2x8gb
SSD - Samsung 860 Evo
HDD -2x Western Digital 1tb (dont remember exact model)

I can provide any other information too
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Here's the link to my user benchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28990529
I did the DISM processes and clean booted my PC. I checked the memory, and it was fine, and there were no problems with the ssd and hdds. Hopefully the problem got fixed with the DISM. I'll post again here and update if it comes back. Thanks again!

your RAM is only running at 2133MHz, enable the XMP profile in BIOS to get the native 2400MHz

also check the temperature of your CPU while under load

ok thanks for pointing that out, I switched on XMP. I ran an AIDA64 stress test for an hour and my cpu temps were between 55-65C.
