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 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.

    Hi BennyBenX

    Are those the only USB 3 ports you have on your PC?

    Are you able to help me find the correct driver to download for the Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller?

    I have the installation disk but I also heard that the windows 10 default drivers might work for this.

    This is the specific PCI-e card I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011LZY20G/ref=oh\_aui\_search\_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
