Windows 10: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Hello all, I've been having intermittent BSODs with the error reason IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.I've run Driver Verifier and initially found the cause to be an older Logitech Gaming Software driver - I've since updated it to the most recent version available on the manufacturer's website driver date 3/8/2018. However, I still seem to encounter inconsistent crashes - sometimes within a few minutes of booting up, sometimes after a few hours of uptime, and sometimes I'll go through a week of regular use and turning on/off without any errors. Most recent crash details:IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL aAn

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.

BSOD problems IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL + MEMORY_MANAGEMENT + PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Some days when I turn off my PC it happens sequentially these 3 BSOD (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL + MEMORY_MANAGEMENT + PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA). Not necessarily in this order. But the errors are basically one of these.

• I've already done memtest86 and got no errors
  
• SFC /scannow with no errors too
  
• checkdisk with no errors
  

I've checked the error with BlueScreenView and the problem is with the driver ntoskrnl.exe.

Any suggestion of whats going on?
