  3. Blue screen error in windows 10, "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".

    Hi Irwinraj,

    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.

    • Are you able to boot your Computer?
    • Have you made any changes to the system prior to this issue?
    If you are able to boot your Computer, I suggest you to try the steps below and check if this helps.

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Remove all the external devices except mouse and keyboard, hard reboot the device and check if the issue persists.

    Step 2: I suggest you to boot the system to Safe mode wherein the computer starts with basic drivers and no third party programs. Check if you are still receiving the error message.

    Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10


    Method 2:

    Step 1: If the issue does not persists in Safe Mode then perform a
    Clean Boot to
    check if any third party application is causing the issue, as clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.

    Disclaimer: Putting your system in
    Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    Note: After troubleshooting, refer to the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” to return the computer to a
    Normal startup mode.

    Step 2: Follow the below steps to
    place the computer in normal mode
    .

    • Press Windows + R keys to open Run
      command.
    • Type msconfig and press Enter.
    • In the System Configuration window, click on
      General tab.
    • Select Start-up selection as Normal startup, click on
      Apply and Ok.
    • Follow onscreen instructions.
