Windows 10: Two unrelated BSODs within days of eachother, would like to know if machine is failing and...

Hi, I have a 4 yro acer nitro 5 gaming laptop running windows 10 and while I've had a virtually BSOD-less experience for the past few years, I recieved two seperate and unrelated crashes within 3 days of eachother and it's got me concerned for the health of my machine. Using the pc health app I was given no warnings there and additionally used crystaldisk for the health of my ssd which is also fine.The first crash was a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR stopcode on the 24th which I reasonably assumed to be a driver issue from past experience - albeit a long time ago - as I am running on rather outdated

BSOD Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Unrelated Occurrences

Windows 10 fails to update


When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

 

rtwlanu.sys failed

Probably the BSOD and Blank screen are unrelated.

The following steps outline the steps to fix Windows failing to boot and you can boot to the advanced startup options.
