Hello people, first time posting here. I am not very experienced in viewing dump files, but I have been having an absolutely mind numbing issue when I attempt to play a game called squad, which has always worked in the past for me with the few and far between issues that crop up. Essentially I cannot load into a game without the game either crashing or restarting my computer all together leaving a dumb file related to IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a).
I have installed WinDbg in an attempt to figure out what is going on at the core of all this. It appears to me I may have a faulting driver but I can't seem to pin point a way to solve this.
Now, my computer had been crashing constantly and I took it to a micro center and it was diagnosed that my computer had bad RAM. The RAM was replaced and I still am having BSOD issues with similar if not the same stop codes as before, but maybe less frequently. I had also replaced my system drive from HDD to SSD and replaced the PSU with a 750W EVGA gold.
Specs are as follows...
i5 7600k no overclock
GTX1070 overclocked (tested with and without overclock same issues)
Gigabyte Z270X-ultra gaming updated to most recent bios.
1TB samsung 860 evo, 500gb 860 evo, 500gb 850 evo.
16GB RAM GSkill Ripjaw @ 3200MHz
I hope someone can help me with this issue as this is my favorite game and can't play it anymore. =(
***
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: ffff9e0985d69571, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, 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: fffff8045822a960, address which referenced memory
