Check another 2.1GB of memory. It might help confirm if the issue lies elsewhere.

Is there a separate discrete GPU present? If yes, you can turn off the integrated graphics in the BIOS to free up RAM for the operating system.

iirc there's always at least 500mb or so reserved, even if you disable the iGPU. But that would still be an improvement, I guess

That would adjust the available space accordingly.

OP didn't confirm if Memtest86 detected any hardware problems. A brief search indicates "irq_not_less_or_equal" often points to a driver issue. It might be wise to check that first, by starting in a live setup and running stability checks to verify the OS version.

They didn't fix it properly at first. The issue kept coming back even after updates, so only adding more RAM helped resolve it (this happened on a B350 board).

thanks all. It's a B550 variant. Doesnt seem to be the full fat BIOS. Can't disable iGPU. Ran 4 pass tests 3x, no errors with memtest86. My research was telling me the nt_wrong_symbols was indicative of ram issues, but that was wrong. I was able to correct nt_wrong_symbols by reloading symbols into windbg. I finally got the report that the driver for realtek 8822C was at fault (WLAN/bluetooth card). I had WLAN disabled, but use BT regular. Realtek's site is about useless, and ASUS/ROG only listed an older driver. Used AI to find a newer driver for an ASUS TUF gaming PC. Uninstalled the BT driver (with driver removal) and installed the new driver. Configured VERIFIER to watch the BT driver, so when/if on next BSOD I should get a more detailed .dmp with info of what led to the BSOD. Fixing Win11 on a prebuilt machine is starting to feel like debugging linux on a custom build. Ugh, I bought a new to me prebuilt just so everything would just work and facilitate the move to Win11..

Additional updates: continued unclear messages after swapping the wlan/bt module and adapter. Swapped the RAM sticks manually; memtest86 detected issues. It seems the iGPU was actually covering up faulty RAM. Disabled the iGPU in Windows since the stripped-down ASUS BIOS didn’t help improve the boot problem. Ordering new RAM now, with a future upgrade to a processor lacking an iGPU.
