Running a fresh copy of windows 8.1, updated from 8, on a hard drive fully wiped with cmd. PC runs fine for a random amount of time before a blue screen crash with a range of errors, most commonly "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
my pc has a ASRock z97 PRO4 motherboard with a 4.0 GHz i7 4790k quad core cpu, a Palit gtx 750ti gpu, 16 gb of ram (2 8gb sticks). All of it is compatible
I have:
1. updated windows. had to force the pc to search for updates and trouble shoot it since it didnt want to on its own.
2. updated all drivers to the most recent version.
3. attempted windows disk reset/refresh/repair, which gave "couldn't reset", "drive is locked" and "Operating system version is incompatible with startup repair". (only fix for this i'm not sure worked was to make sure my motherboard and components attached to it are connected properly)
Any help would be useful. Think I've tried other ideas but been working on this pc trying to get it to run for almost 24 hours now.
