Question IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

[Ironiccc]

Been getting this BSOD error recently. Tried resetting windows and disabling WiFi in the BIOS, based on potential other google searches but still getting the BSOD.

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.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffffffffd0, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff8030eccd396, address which referenced memory

Updated these from the MSI website from my specific motherboard’s page previously, but it did not seem to fix the issue

4 copies of overclock driver ntiolib_x64.sys running from different directories are the likely cause of this bugcheck. (remove all copies and reboot)
(if you really need the driver, keep only the mots current version)

Deleted and uninstalled MSI Center (where they seemed to come from), will report back if issues continue.
