    Blue Screen of Death: DRIVER IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL error


    I randomly started seeing this BSOD error this week after trying to eject my external hard drive which holds some games and photos. Now I am unable to use my laptop for more than 5 minutes without receiving a BSOD. I recently updated my BIOS and installed Windows Updates prior to this issue. I attempted to run System Restore back to the day before I installed the updates, however the restore failed and any attempts to undo the restore fail as well. Now I receive an error upon startup that my windows apps are unavailable and show greyed out on the start menu. I am still having BSOD after 5 mins too. I was able to go into safe mode and retrieve the crash dumps which I will link below. Any and all assistance is appreciated.
