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!

    Hi Benny

    111218-74500-01.dmp lists vrtaucbl.sys as a cause, that however is non-specific as the rest of the minidump files do not list that driver, which is a virtual Audio Cable . . .

    Did you look at the latest dmp file named 111218-74500-01.dmp?

    I'm not sure if I still have that driver installed since I uninstalled it.

    Hi Benny

    In the back-end I still see rusb3xhc.sys (Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller) listed as the cause . . .

    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 . . .
