IRQL not less or equal BSOD on an old PC
My PC is rather old, but it functions satisfactorily. However, in the last few days it comes up, apparently randomly, with a BSOD indicating "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL". At other times after I leave the PC for an hour without any activity, but with applications open, it becomes unresponsive even though I see the hard disk light flashing continuously.
My research on this matter did not come up with an obvious cause for the error. Other than recent software updates I cannot think of any other reason for it. I could however add that the temperature where the PC is located is fairly high at times.
I would appreciate any advice.
