Hello,
My pc has been crashing since I built it a few months ago. I get the BSOD and IRQL_not_less_or_equal. How can I share with you information you would need to diagnose what is causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading similar threads but it seems that it is different for every instance.

Thank you
