BSOD - Driver IRQL

Hello and welcome to TenForums :)

It is difficult to tell which drivers might be causing you problems. It could be related to hardware and so a memory test is worth doing. for your system Memtest86+ will need to be run for 1-2 days in order to complete more than the 8 passes which is required for proper testing.

Please remove any overclocking while troubleshooting.

To find if any drivers are causing problems you can run Driver Verifier for a period of about 1 day or until any BSOD occur. Look at the following tutorial and please take heed to the warnings especially about setting a system restore point. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5...dows-10-a.html

just finished a 15hr/8pass memtest, no errors so thats good news. I will follow up with a driver verifier tonight on stock bios and will post again. thnx for the help.

so i ran driver verifier on a stock bios for a couple of hours while playing overwatch and had no bsods. the readings showed 0 counters for every value when i went into display information on currently verified drivers, which is normal correct? it if is then it seems my overclock has gotten unstable from the last time i updated bios. i will post again within the week if bsods dont occur for more than 2 days.

im at a complete loss, still getting DRIVER_IRQL bsods after a cmos reset, ddu clean, bios rollback, windows reset. was there anything from the logs that showed anything? happened a couple times during overwatch today, and when i was playing hearthstone and watching twitch.

Please post a new zip file with the recent BSOD crash dumps.

Hello hydten :)

I was able to find the following references to driver errors in one of the new crash dumps:

Code:

The first is the nvidea driver but you already have the latest version dated 25 Aug 2016. You could try uninstalling completely all nVidea graphics driver related files using the DDU method and then reinstalling with a clean install just the driver and PhysX files as you have done before.

The second is the Intel Network adaptor driver which is rather older and dated 18 Jun 2015. It would be worth looking for a newer driver for your network adapter.

As two of your BSODs were KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (139) errors it would be worth making sure you are up to date with your security and anti-virus software and running a full system scan, I don't think you have a problem here but as this error can sometimes be associated with malicious attacks it is worth checking.

ah, so i just realized, i flashed my bios with a ntfs usb drive instead of fat32, which may have related to the crashes. i just did a proper flash to the lastest bios ver. (1902) and will ddu clean install, reseat the gpu and do another windows reset just in case. hopefully my issues will be resolved then. thnx for the reply i will post again after a day or two.
