    KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Windows 11


    Hello everyone. The problem started a month ago. I did nothing, but for no reason blue screens of death started appearing. Sometimes the laptop would just suddenly turn off and not turn on the first time. The laptop is about 7 months old, I don't know what to do anymore.

  2. BSOD - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    Keep getting BSOD:

    KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    and

    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    These happen at random times, never a consistent crash. Sometimes happens when there's a heavy CPU/GPU load and sometimes when I'm just using MSWord. As you see below I have 2 GPU's installed (not SLI). People keep recommending it may be the 2xGPU's but
    this was happening before I installed the second one.

    Build:

    CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K

    GPU0: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB

    GPU1: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB

    SSD: SanDisk Ultra II 480GB

    SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB

    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (2016)

    RAM: Corsair CMU32GX4M2C3000C15 2x16GB

    MBD: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD3 Ultra-CF

  3. DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (nvlddmkm.sys) AND KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    Hi Joel,

    Thank you for responding.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with blue screen error on Windows 10, do let us know the following to assist you better:

    • Is this issue confined only when playing the game?
    • How often you see this error code?

    As a workaround I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps:

    Step 1: If the issue is confined only with the game, I suggest you to uninstall the game, try to access the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Step 2: I suggest you to perform Clean boot to avoid any third party software conflict and check.

    Disclaimer: Putting your system in
    Clean Boot
    state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article mentioned below to perform a Clean Boot.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)

    Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue and required information, we will be happy too help you further.
