  1. I keep receiving IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL


    While playing Path of Exile video game on Steam & watching a stream on Kick.com I keep receiving IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL blue-screen error.Here is a link to the Minidump logs for the error. I just want to update the driver or remove the driver to fix my computer blue-screening.

  2. Irql_not_less_or_equal

    So I have this clients PC that blue screens and gives a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP 0x0000000A error message. Error Goblin (link in sig) says the following:

    And I have NO IDEA what the hell that means. It has wrapped around my head 5 times and caused it to explode. Ive ran memtest for 7 and a half hours and it didnt find any errors. I will probably run it again overnight just to be safe. Ive also cleaned out the computer with an air compressor and checked the hard drive for bad sectors are none are to be found.

    Im trying like hell to avoid reinstalling Windows but it seems unlikely.

    Im going to try updating some drivers and see what happens. Some of the drivers on this computer date back to 2007.

    Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks guys.

    EDIT:

    Alright so it doesnt look like ill be able to get onto the internet to do anything because nearly every time i try, i get the BSOD. Format seems imminent.

  3. Bsod "irql_not_less_or_equal"

    This most probably is due to a faulty charger or a battery.

    But there are other common causes of it:
    • Incompatible Drivers
    • Malfunctioning hardware
    • Registry Issues
    • Malware attacks
    • Incomplete driver installation

    To solve the problem, you could try using the following common methods:
    Method 1: Use SFC and DISM
    Step 1: Press Windows + X and then select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    Step 2: Type in the following command and then press Enter.
    sfc/scannow
    Step 3: Wait for the process to finish and it will show you results. If Windows can repair your files, it should say that the corrupted files are repaired. If the process is stuck, the Windows could well fail to recover itself. You will have to use the DISM tool to repair your Windows sinceit’s a more efficient and powerful tool than SFC, use these steps:
    Step 4I keep receiving IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL :press Windows Key + X and then click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    Step 5: Now type the following command and then press Enter.
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Method 2: Update Your Graphics Drivers

    Step 4: Right-click on your graphics device, and then select Update Driver.
    Step 5: Select the Search automatically for updated driver software option.
    Step 6: The computer will search for drivers online and install them.

    Method 3: Check Your Memory and Hardware
    If the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is not related to the software, then some hardware glitches might be causing the issue. In such a scenario, you should try testing the RAM of your device. Fortunately, Windows offers a utility tool called memory diagnostics. Refer to the following instructions to learn how to access the utility tool.

    Step 1: Press Win + Q to open the search box, enter Memory Diagnostic to open the Windows Diagnostic utility.
    Step 2: Select the Restart now and check for problems option to scan the RAM.

  4. I keep receiving IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Received blue screen error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you receive a blue screen error. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the make and model of the computer?

    • When exactly are you facing this error?
    This Stop error message usually occurs during installation when there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process internal request level (IRQL). Typically,
    this error occurs when a driver uses an incorrect memory address. Other possible causes of this error include an incompatible device driver, a general hardware problem, or incompatible software.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, , I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    If the issue persists, if the issue persist, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the display, graphic and network drivers and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the display and graphics driver and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.

    2. In the list of devices, you should see the Display Drivers.

    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    In some computer you may also see graphic drivers installed additionally, in that case, I suggest you to uninstall them by following the same steps provided above. Do the same for the other drivers mentioned in the post.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
