Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal Windows 10

Anonymous

I recently bought a used Asus Z370-A motherboard and processor and noticed I've been getting reoccuring "BSOD Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal", once with Watchdog Violation, and once with Kmode Exception Not Handled.

I believe this is a driver issue with my PCI-e express cards but it could also be an issue with my motherboard.

Can anyone take a look at my DMP file and let me know which it might be?

Thanks!

    Okay I had run Driver Verifier again and had crashed.

    Here are my new files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QZaVfqWVO\_PSIRMCUciqkvUEJxXiinyS/view?usp=sharing

    This time the error pointed to Wudfpf.sys

    Hi Benny

    Yes you can try that if you do get another BSOD, however, please note, driver verifier can product a lot of false positives and should not be turned on long term . . .

    I tried installing that driver but it seems I have a later version already.

    I think windows installed this version for me which is different than what I had before. I no longer have the rusb3xhc.sys driver but rather the USBXHCI.SYS driver.

    Shall I go ahead and retry the driver verifier tool to see if I BSOD again?

    No I have other ports but I am utilizing many of them and I would prefer to be able to use this extra PCI-e USB expansion card.
