Windows 10: Windows 10 BSOD ERROR: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Alright, so I will explain everything in detail.
I was trying to join a voice chat on Discord and for some unexpected reason, I got a Blue Screen of Death.

''Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart, we are just collecting some error info and we'll restart for you.''
Error code: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
What failed: qwavedrv.sys

The version I am running is Windows 10 2004 Build 19041.450.

Can anyone help me?

Getting DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD error on windows 10

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

Is it DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD error?

The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
Blue screen error, or stop code, will make your computer shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss. The likely cause of the issue might be incompatible drivers.

Check and confirm that your PC is running with compatible drivers from Manufacturer website. If you find an updated driver, then replace old driver with it to see if it makes any difference.

Suggest you to refer Bug Check 0xD1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
and see if it helps you in fixing the issue.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.
