    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD only when gaming


    Hi all,I have been getting consistent BSOD's, all with the stop code: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. What failed: tcpip.sys. This specifically only happens when playing Fortnite for whatever reason. It has not happened outside of Fortnite at all. It must be some other program conflicting with Fortnite causing me to blue screen I would imagine. I have checked my RAM as that error is associated with it, and the RAM is fine. I have scoured the internet and not found any solutions that have worked for me. My minidump file is provided below as well. Any help in deciphering this would be greatly app

    :)

    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)

    MEGA
    MEGA
    MEGA

    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.

    Hi,

    I got another BSOD:

    Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_Equal - Ntoskrnl.exe (From BSOD Viewer) 0x000000d1

    What is the next step in identifying this driver issue?

    Thanks,
