Windows 10 BSOD Stop Code IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal

[Ken_97]

Hi this is my first post here and have I ran into a brickwall involving my BSOD. My computer that I got a month ago has been giving me BSODs with stop code IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal. It seems to have a higher chance of happening when I alt tab out of my fullscreen games. I downloaded Whocrashed and it shows the following:

This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

I have tried finding the drivers for Realtek RTL8192S USB NDIS Driver, Realtek Semiconductor Corporation but cant seem to find anything relating to rtl8192su.

Here are my specs:

Intel i5-6600k CPU @ 3.50GHz
WD 1TB WD Caviar Blue 3.5" SATA Desktop

rtl8192su.sys appears to be part of their NIC drivers but your PC has Intel? Do you have a WiFi card?

802.11bgn was a Realtek Wireless USB 2 network adapter - i can't find any win 10 drivers so it might be time to get a new one if you do.
