Windows 10: Unplugged an external SSD and Windows 11 crashed.

I was using Windows 11 and had an external SSD plugged through my USB port. When I unplugged it, Windows crashed and I got a BSoD with a code 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'. Here is a link to the crash minidump file. I do not know much so was not able to debug it and find the cause. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhPOSYldzRPUiSquzhznPgu2ZmqE?e=LpHkax

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

Windows 11 Black Screen

A question before I proceed with your instructions:

• Unplug all external hardware ...
  
  • Would this include my 2nd monitor?
    
  • Would this include my external hard drive? The external hard drive appeared to be used on my W11 install attempt as my computer did not seem to have sufficient space on its hard drive.
    
• Your step 4 above, I assume you mean "Windows 11" vice Windows 10, correct?
  

Thank you

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.
