Windows 10: BSOD With the error code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL caused by ntoskrnl.exe

Hi everyone,


I just got a new pc and have had an issue with it crashing at random times after minutes or even hours of use. All the blue screens are related the ntoskrnl.exe module. I have tried many different things including running a memtest, changing out my ram sticks, running a windows memory diagnostics test, running chkdsk c: /f and chkdsk c: /r. None of these found any issues.


PC Components:

CPU: Intel i9-10850k

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB @ 3200 Mhz

Motherboard: MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Graphics Card: Nvidia RTX 3070

Storage device with windows installed on it: Western digital 1TB m.2 drive


Copy of my WhoCrashed report this is the only one I have saved but they've all been related to ntoskrnl.exe:

The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

sigh
If your computer auto restarts on BSOD find the setting in windows to make it stop.
Second step is to look for the error code of the BSOD.
Perhaps easier would be to use an online application such as bluescreen viewer.
Once you know which driver is causing the problem you can look further into fixing it.
