Always IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD; occurs strictly when gaming
Over the past few months, I have been experiencing this BSOD at random times whenever I'm gaming. It usually happens after an extended period of time (at least 30 minutes), and it seems to happen for any game.
The BSODs I experience are always the same. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Never anything else. And BlueScreenView always points to ntoskrnl.exe, which implies that it's very likely video driver related.
I have continually updated my drivers whenever the BSOD happens, to no avail. Thus, I can only assume that the issue goes beyond the GPU driver. I'm convinced that my GPU is dying (degrading/deteriorating); it's almost three years old, which may be causing these BSODs.
The minidump can be analyzed here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kv0tp30xa8b9ego/062019-13984-01.dmp?dl=0
If somebody could analyze the minidump and tell me what the culprit could be, that would be great. Thank you very much!
