Windows 10: BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Recently this month after windows 10 September update, I've been getting 1-2 BSOD every week. I've already created a previous thread regarding the issue, one of the advisors told me to update all drivers through the manufacturer's web, which I've done for everything. Did a memtest for 8 passes and came through fine, used intel diagnostic to check CPU health, all with passes too. Used harddisk Sentinal for both my SSD/HDD and all are perfectly healthy. Also did chkdsk, DISM/scanhealth and restore health, pc reset from the settings recovery. All is well for about 2 weeks and then today the BSOD came back. Now I'm really getting desperate and worrying a lot. This only seems to happen when I play games and I alt-tab out to google chromes. I'm suspecting it may be one incident I had when I was downloading a soundboard called resonance and the windows defender detected the file to contain a trojan horse virus, which I deleted immediately. This incident happened around August 25, 2019 and I'm suspecting it may be the problem. At this point, I'm just desperate and might bring it into an MS store to get help or simply do a clean install of Windows 10. I also uninstalled one of the program that the driver verifier detected a violation which was the Logitech gaming software, so I uninstalled that but seems like the issues haven't been fixed. I'll really appreciate anyone that can help me in resolving this, if all else fail I'm just going to do a wipe and clean install.


Here are the dump files from before if anyone can help with one last attempt of fixing this issue.

BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I have been getting random BSOD (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Source: nwifi.sys) in the last 3 days. They seem to only appear when playing videos on YouYube, but it might be a coincidence.

What has changed in the last 3 days?

Nothing on the laptop itself. I plugged in a new keyboard and mouse (both USB), and a USB hub (USB-C).
I also installed new drivers for the Intel Graphics and "Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Manager" as suggested by Dell Driver Updater, but this was an attempt to fix the BSOD, which already happened before updating these drivers.

What are the laptop info and specs?

• Text version: MEGA
  
• Speccy version (can be imported into Speccy): MEGA
  
• MsInfo32 Output: MEGA
  

Most recent dump files?

This is the content of C:\Windows\Minidump: (all 3 are the most recent BSOD dumps and match with the date and time of the BSODs)

What have you tried?

I have checked with the Dell System Detect utility to see if all the drivers were up to date; 2 weren't and I updated them (as written above) but that didn't solve the issue.

I have cleaned the system Registry with the CCleaner utility, but that didn't solve the issue.

What can I do?

EDIT:

Upon suggestion, I updated the killer drivers.
All seemes fine of a while, then, after the laptop went to suspended state, I noticed the external mouse stopped working, while the touchpad worked.
After plugging and unplugging, I rebooted.
Laptop stuck to reboot for 6 min (usually takes 6 seconds) then BSOD: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.

BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys)

Hi Seung,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys).

Please let us know the make/model of your computer.

The L1C63x64.sys is the Atheros LAN driver and I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the Atheros LAN driver but install the latest Atheros LAN driver by visiting the manufacture's website and avoid using any LAN driver available though Windows Update.

However the problem could also be with any VPN software and other software so make sure you have the latest version of each of these software.

If the errors continue uninstall the VPN software and check if the issue persist.

Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries for BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys). We are happy to help!
