Windows 10: Bluescreen after a couple a months

My computer has had a history of crashes before but it has started back again. I seemed to fix the issue a couple months ago when clean installing the graphics driver but it seems to have returned. Can you please help me? I have the minidumps from this crash and the crashes before.


The error code was: irql_not_less_or_equal

This happened after while of gaming on Minecraft (probably over a couple hours)


Here are the minidumps from all crashes:

What I have tried for the previous crashes two months ago:

Memory test: All clear (ran with all tests 2 times)

Checked SSD and HDD SMART: all good

Clean installed graphics driver: Seemed to fix things until now.

Ran driver verifier: Made my pc restart but no error code.

Ran Sfc/scannow and disp: Both said no corruption.


I at this point don't know what is causing it and ran out of ideas. I'd perfer not to reinstall windows unless I have to.

A Couple Questions About Partitions


Hello, it's been a couple days. So I decided to get back at the effort of resolving this, but I'm so confused on how to perform the steps you have listed above even though the list looks pretty simple and self-explanatory. Is it possible to go a little bit more in depth and explain it like you're talking to someone who has no experience doing something like this? That would be greatly appreciated.

bluescreen

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.

I understand that it can be frustrating for you when the computer shows bluescreen errors. Bluescreen errors are usually caused due to faulty hardware or drivers. We will try to narrow down the cause of the issue by performing a few steps.

1. Do you get bluescreen errors randomly or while performing any specific actions such as playing a game or running any particular application?
   
2. Do you see any error code along with the message “DRIVERS POWER STATE FAILURE”?
   
3. Are there any external devices connected to your computer?
   

The usual causes for bluescreen errors are Graphic card drivers and Network adapter drivers. We can go ahead and try to update the drivers.

Refer the article Update drivers in Windows 10 on how to update Graphic card
and Network drivers.

You may also refer the article Troubleshoot blue screen errors
for additional troubleshooting steps to fix the issue.

You can reply to this post if you need further assistance

Hope it helps.
