Help with blue screen error IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Hi,

I've been starting to get blue screen of death errors pretty frequently. Whenever it happens I get the error code IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, but no other identifying information. I tried the basic suggestions on microsoft's website, namely making sure there
are no new updates for windows and scanning for malware but it still happens. I've noticed that when this happens I'm using chrome but I'm not sure if that is just a coincidencce since I am almost always on chrome when using my pc. I'm not very tech savy so
any help/ suggestions for diagnosing and fixing the source of this error is appreciated.

Thanks

 

Blue screen error: "Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal" on Windows 10

Hi Mike,

Thank you for responding and apologize for the delay in response to your issue.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you with the error message Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal. We will help you with this issue.

I would like to inform that this behavior occurs because the file system driver did not place a reference count against a volume device object, and the object was being deleted before the current input/output (I/O) operation had completed.

Do let us know the additional information to assist you better:

• Are you able to boot the device to desktop?
• Were you able to see any error code along with the error message?

Step 1: I suggest you to boot the system to Safe mode wherein the computer starts with basic drivers and no third party programs. Check if you are still receiving the error message.

Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10


Step 2: If the issue does not persists in Safe Mode then perform a
Clean boot to
check if any third party application is causing the issue, as clean boot helps in eliminating software conflicts.

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: After troubleshooting, refer to the section “How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” to return the computer to a
Normal startup mode.

Step 3: Follow the below steps to
place the computer in normal mode.

• Press Windows + R keys to open Run
  command.
• Type msconfig and press Enter.
• In the System Configuration window, click on
  General tab.
• Select Start-up selection as Normal startup, click on
  Apply and Ok.
• Follow onscreen instructions.
