  1. I keep experiencing BSOD as a result of "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"?


    When playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 it does occur intermittently throughout normal usage, but it's repeatable every time after 20-30mins of game play in BO3 I receive a BSOD for a driver related failure. I've followed instructions on this forum for checking drivers, no specific drivers were listed when my PC was stuck in a boot cycle, just the same "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error message with no "What failed:" attached.I have also gone through and updated all my drivers manually as well as through device manager.I've packaged up my recent Microsoft Dump Files, hopefully someone is a

    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.

    BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Could you please take a look at these dump files, thank you. I've reinstalled the MTK WIFI driver and still experienced a BSOD. I wasn't able to catch the error code for the BSOD but it wasn't DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    Edit: Just got another BSOD and this time it's a different code than the BSOD I got to make this reply.

    Stop code: ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY

    I've added a new dump file.
