Windows 10: BSOD while playing Darkest Dungeon, Stop Code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

One BSOD today and multiple in the past. All of them were triggered while the application "Darkest Dungeon.exe" was running. I tried updating my drivers from my manufacturer's website but it hasn't fixed the problem.

The DM Log Collector is attached.

BSOD irql_not_less_or_equal crashes

That is actually the only thing that shows up in the bsod before the pc restarts:

stop code: irql_not_less_or_equal

 

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL While playing games

Hello,

Occasionally while playing a game on my PC it will freeze and then a few seconds later go to a BSOD with the error code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

Driver Verify created a minidump but I do not know how to open the .dmp or how to examine it to see what causes this crash.

This has been an ongoing issue for me and I've tried re-installing and updating multiple drivers to no prevail. Please help!

Thank you,

-Andrew

 

One of these crash dumps showed the following:

Code: Unable to load image \SystemRoot\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nongraf-skl-v4836.inf_amd64_3a7431f73f9f0636\igdkmd64.sys, Win32 error 0n2 *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for igdkmd64.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for igdkmd64.sys[/quote] It looks as if you have the following graphics driver version installed:

Driver c:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\nongraf-skl-v4836.inf_amd64_3a7431f73f9f0636\igdkmd64.sys (22.20.16.4836, 12.80 MB (13,422,560 bytes), 1/25/2018 8:47 PM)

This is the correct one from the Lenovo website but is not the most recent from INTEL which is Version 23.20.16.4901

You could try updating to this one: Latest Intel Graphics Driver for Windows 10

 

The logs displayed software to bypass the activation of windows.
Please explain.

 

I use that software to activate Microsoft Office 2013 on my computer. Mainly for use of Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, and OneNote.

 

Tried updating to the lastest Intel Graphics Driver for Windows 10 but it said, "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer."
