BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL after sitting idle for around five minutes
So this problem cropped up yesterday, and I'm no stranger to it. This Win10 install is relatively fresh, just a few weeks old with not too much being installed on it. Less than 24 hours ago, I began getting these BSODs out of the blue whenever my computer sits idle.
First and foremost, the system is indeed overclocked but has passed 6 hours stable with Prime95, OCCT and even Linpack, and I've ran several instances of Memtest86+ all to verify there isn't anything wrong hardware wise. But for the sake of troubleshooting, I completely went to stock clocks and still get it after sitting idle.
From what I'm gathering after a bit of reading around, this is indeed something driver level for the most part. Before all this started yesterday, the computer had been on overnight. I checked to see if anything had updated without me knowing, but there were no updates. As far as I know, no software had been installed or updated.
This has been no stranger to me, as this isn't the first time this obscure BSOD popped up out of the blue. Always after a few weeks of running this machine, it'll have fits like this once a week where it just constantly crashes when left idle. Then be okay. Then another week passes and it has another day where it just won't cooperate until another fresh install.
