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!

    I also want to note that I only experience these BSOD when I am using my Oculus Rift VR.

    Perform the following steps:

    1. Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
    2. sfc /scannow
    3. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    4. chkdsk /scan
    5. When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
    6. Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting
    7. uninstall the Nvidia GPU driver using DDU (display driver uninstaller)
    8. re-install the Nvidia GPU driver from the Nvidia website
    9. make sure that you check the clean install box and if available install the physx driver.

    1. For every BSOD:

    a) run the administrative command prompt command > post a new zip into the thread using a share link

    b) open file explorer > this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for:  C:\windows\memory.dmp > if the file size is < 1.5 GB then zip > post a one drive or drop box share link

    1. Run sfc /scannow again and report the results

    Sorry I will post the output from the commands and the zipped memory.dmp from now on for you.

    I am currently in a non-overclocked state (CPU and GPU) and will post again if I BSOD but I do prefer to go back to being overclocked if possible.
