Hello everyone! I would like some help to figure out what is causing my BSOD "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" I've followed plenty of youtube videos and read multiple threads about people with the same issues but nothing works for me. So here I am trying, hoping someone could help me analyze my dump files. This BSOD happens when playing specific games.

Here is also something interesting I found when trying to analyze the dump file : IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses.

I do not know that this means unfortunately.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Can I ask, have you tried uninstalling your GPU drivers with DDU and reinstalling them? That may fix your issues, since you are saying it happens during games, it could be a corrupt Nvidia Driver or you have an older driver that is causing issues. I am no expert so this may or may not fix your issue. I hope it does fix it.

Also may I ask, what GPU do you have?
