    BSOD DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Hi,

    I have been getting random BSOD (DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Source:
    nwifi.sys) in the last 3 days. They seem to only appear when playing videos on youtube, 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 connected), and a usb hub (usb C connected).

    I also installed new drivers for the intel graphics and "thermal paste manager" as suggested by the 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?

    • Txt version: MEGA
    • Speccy version (can be imported into speccy): MEGA
    Other info on the laptop? (MSinfo32)

    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 register with the CCleaner utility, but that didn't solve the issue.

    What can I do?

    IRQL driver_not_less_or_equal

    Stop Code "Driver IRQL not less or equal" after switching to Windows Insider Fast Ring

    Hi Nikola,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

    • What is the make and model of the machine?
    • Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?

    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.

    This occurs when a driver tries to access an address that is pageable (or that is completely invalid) while the IRQL was too high. This bug check is usually caused by drivers that have used improper addresses or a driver that
    was trying to execute code when the code itself was paged out. Possible causes for the page fault include the following:

    • The function was marked as pageable and was running at an elevated IRQL (which includes obtaining a lock).
    • The function call was made to a function in another driver, and that driver was unloaded.
    • The function was called by using a function pointer that was an invalid pointer.

    I suggest you to upload the mini dump files to know the root cause of the issue and troubleshoot accordingly.

    Copy the Mini Dump files from C:\Windows\Mini Dump to your Desktop, zip up the files, and upload to the Cloud. Post the link for the same, so that we can examine.

    Meanwhile, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps listed in
    Troubleshoot blue screen errors and check if it works for you.

    Regards,
