    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Overclocked PC


    I had a couple of WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR bsod while i was setting up the oc then i lowered the multi and the bsod stopped, so i tough my pc was stable. But today i had the one stated in the title so i changed everything back to stock and seems to be running ok.

    These were my settings while OCing:
    i7 2600k@4.4ghz
    Vcore 1.264-1.280 (Offset OC)
    VRM Freq: 350
    LLC: Medium (The other ones lowered my idle Vcore to below 0.900.

    Gskill Ripjaws 8GB (x2 2x2)@ 1866CL9 1.5v (XMP value at 1600CL7 1.5v)

    GTX 960 MSI Gaming
    +30Mv
    +130 Core
    +250 Mem
    105% Power Limit

    BSOD Memory_Management and other

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is a bug check issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high. The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.

    We suggest that you check any new hardware or software is installed properly. If you are overclocking, kindly disable it until the problem is resolved.

    Bluescreens, on top of bluescreens.

    When I built my PC back in 2016, I began to blue screen not short afterwards. I thought it would solve itself, but no. It crashes at random times of the day, and has no correlation with what I am doing. I could be staring at my desktop and my PC would bluescreen.
    My temperatures are fine when gaming, and overclocking had nothing to do with it considering that it bluescreened before I overclocked. I'm stuck and really have no clue as to what I should do next, considering I've looked at registry errors, driver issues,
    updates, etc.

    If I need to post anything like specs or windows logs, let me know. From memory I know a few bluescreens I got were:

    KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR

    MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

    From memory I believe a few filetypes that the bluescreen listed were:

    tcpip.sys

    usbaudio.sys

    fltmgr.sys

    If anyone has any insight to this, it would be much appreciated.

    The Nvidia graphics driver (nvlddmkm.sys) is listed as the faulting module in the minidump you posted. You should go back to default settings regarding the GPU overclock, and then update your graphics driver to the latest version.

    Several of the files in your .zip are either missing or appear to be corrupted - msinfo.nfo for example. Try and run the log collector again.

    msinfo32.exe just wont finish the test, gets stuck at 13%/14% CPU utilization and 123+ MB Ram. I waited over 10 mins to finish, had to kill task or the collector wont finish.

    Ill attach the dump anyway but tell me if theres another way i can provide files

    I will update the drives meanwhile

    Look for newer drivers for your Razar devices and for the Steelseries Engine 3 software.

    Uninstalled synapse since i dont really use it and updated steelseries engine 3, since i removed the oc on the gpu i didint got any new bsod.

    is it normal that the dmp collector gets stuck at msinfo? I had to kill msinfo32 again after it ended or the dmp wouldnt finish.

    No, not usual at all. I did a search for msinfo32 hangs and got all kinds of different reasons for it happening.

    Try running these commands, in order, from a Elevated Command Prompt:

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    SFC /scannow


    If any errors, run that command agaibn, up to 3 times.

    Run everything without errors, restarted but still hangs. I tried to manually save but it does the same, after its done checking everything it just hangs.

    Is there any service related to msinfo32? I disabled some services after i installed Windows 10, i might went overboard and disabled something usefull.

    Sorry, I don't know.

    I would suggest enabling all the services you disabled unless you are absolutely certain there is no negative impact. I've not found any need to disable Windows 10 services,

    You could try running DM_Log_collector.exe from a Elevated Command Prompt rather than the from File Explorer.
