Why does my PC get the bluescreen error IRQL_UNEXPECTED_ERROR?

[jamesbrackin]

Specs:
GTX 650 TI, 8 GB RAM, i74770 Processor, MSI Z87 Motherboard, 120 GB SSD (Main storage), and a 3 TB external drive.
I updated to Windows 10 a few days ago and now I keep getting these error messages then my PC restarts. Anyone know what causes this and what can I do to fix this? also can I search for the crash logs?

Does it happen without the external drive as well?
Are you using any kind of wifi adapters?
What other Devices are connected to the PC?

Saying, I got blue-screen will not bring you anywhere and nobody can help.
On the bluescreen, you should see numbers. The error code, I mean.
What are those? Using it, you can perhaps try to google it and get an idea where to start diagnosing.
We can also try to help you only if you write the numbers.

all it says is IRQL_UNEXPECTED_ERROR. I looked for codes trust me, but for some reason their are none. (using windows 10 if helps)

Hi james, this BSOD error code is usually a RAM problem. Take your RAM sticks out and insert them back in one at a time until you find the faulty stick.

Yeah I thought it was a RAM problem thank you for replying

See?
The error code is quite helpful.

If none of the sticks work without Blue Screen you should check the compatible Ram List of your Motherboard, i upgraded to a Z87 MB(Asus Z87-A) last year and it didnt like my rather old XMS3 RAM, altough newer batches of it work without problems.
