BSOD when trying to play games, error 0x0000000a

mandias · 17 Mar 2019

Hello.
I've been having constant BSODS when attempting to play games. Its giving me the error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, caused by ntoskrnl.exe with the error 0x0000000a every ten minutes while i've been playing a game. I thought it was my ram at first and ran the memtest86 overnight on a usb but it passed successfully, and I cleanly updated my gpu driver, but that wasn't it either. I updated my BIOs and finally, I thought it was the XMP profile but I disabled it and half an hour later it BSODed again. What could be causing my BSODs?
Here are my logs.

Edit: I ran chkdsk on my HDD and SSD. Both came back without errors

Did you update your chipset drivers before doing the BIOS update?

The crash dump is showing the graphics driver as the problem but it is the latest version. Maybe there are earlier versions that would work better? Can you try on-board graphics to see if the problem persists so as to rule out the graphics card?

Hm. I did update my chipset drivers to the latest version as the new BIOS update for the GA-AB350 required it. Ill try reverting my GPU to another version. Could this be related to AMD relive? Previously I was having bluescreens with it and ended up having to disable it completely, but I re enabled it after I updated.
