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.

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

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Or a random eternal freeze or restart out of nowhere

My pc (custom built) Randomly bluescreens with the stop code SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or it randomly freezes and i have to use the restart button on the case or it will randomly go black and restart. Full spec list: Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6ghz, MSI VENTUS XS Gtx 1650, Crucial Ballistix sport 2400mhz 16gb (4x4) Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC Motherboard, Evga G3 Supernova 550W 80+ And a WD Blue sn550 500GB drive. all temperatures are very good. I have updated the chipset drivers and i have tried fresh installations of both windows 10 and windows 11. I am stuck because it crashes up to 4 times a day and it causes me to lose a lot of time and work. it happens COMPLETELY randomly, whether i was just watching a youtube video, my computer just being on the desktop or playing apex legends while recording in 240fps, no matter the load or task it crashes randomly. any suggestions are welcome and i can provide more information if needed.

Thanks for your time!
