Windows 10: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD and Random Restarts

Howdy folks,

Over the past few weeks my computer has started experiencing pretty constant BSODs/random restarts. They usually happen while playing World of Warcraft, but I've had a few just off the desktop. All typically happen after 30 mins to 1 hour of use. The crashes usually happen every other day, but recently have become daily.


I've done a full reinstall of windows, tried updating drivers, stress testing hardware, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, etc. and no luck so far. I've run the driver verifier which as I understand may not actually correctly diagnose what's wrong?, chkdsk, memtest86, and the built in windows 10 memory diagnose tool. All have come up clear so far. Most recently I've tried testing out one stick of ram at a time. Both crashed within 5 minutes. Once I put both sticks in, the computer seems more stable but I am expecting it to crash at any time.

So far I've been unable to diagnose what's actually causing the issue. Temperatures have been normal so I don't think that's an issue. WhoCrashed points to ntoskrnl.exe with an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error and google has been less than helpful in regards to that error.


After every random restart, the event viewer prints an error that says "A fatal hardware error has occurred. Reported by component: Processor core."

Any help is greatly appreciated. Specs + Dump files below:

Getting random BSOD (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)

Hello MS-Community,

I have been getting bugged by this for over a week now. I have a Dell 5547 laptop which had Win8.1 preinstalled in it. I installed Ubuntu over it in a different disk partition after a month of purchase. After that , I have been getting random BSOD saying
'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'. There isn't a fixed action which triggers the BSOD. I have looked up in the internet and followed one of the suggestions to run the 'Driver Verifier'. However, no luck. Even after running the Driver Verifier, it does not produce a
detailed dump file.

It is also worth noting that I clean installed Windows 10 replacing Windows8.1. All went fine for 3 or 4 days but as soon as I installed the GRUB repair for my dual-boot in my laptop, boom! I've been getting bombed by this BSOD time and again. It is really
frustrating.

I have attached the two dmp files along with this. One is prior to running the 'Driver Verifier' (giving the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bsod) and the second one is after (giving a differed bsod 'SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION').

Link to the dmp files are below:

Please Help!

Much Thanks.

 

Random BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Hello everyone,

My PC has been crashing for quite some time now.

The Crashes are REALLY RANDOM. Some times its like 2 Months with no crash at all and then it comes a week where i get BSOD like every hour or more...

One of the BSODs i get is the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

I googled it and found many similar topics everywhere. Suggestions where to do all sorts of things. Memtests. Drivetests. Stresstests. I reinstalled windows looooots of times and a driver verifier.

I did everything and nothing found any problems only driver verifier BSODed instantly before it could even fully load Windows when restarting after enable driver verifier. I had to go in save mode and disable driver verifier to get into windows again. If
i remember correctly i did the settings to "check every driver" even the windows ones. I don't have the Dump after enabling driver varifier sadly, but i got the dump of the "random" BSOD from today.

Often times it is while playing games, but i had the bluescreen while surfing the internet too.

Here is my mindump: Minidump.zip

Please let me know if you need any other informations... i REALLY need help with this since i can't fix it on my own anymore.

If you can already see what the problem is in the minidump file, please let me know what's wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Markus

 

Random restarts

when you start the computer up press F8 repeatedly until you get a list of how to start windows, choose do not automatically restart on system failure. if your getting bsod's list what your getting here so we can further help you. IF the system is not getting bsod's and still restarting as you say then i would look into getting a line conditioner for your computer as you might be having power issues.
