Identify Irql not less than or equal errors
System built on Windows 11, 24h2, equipped with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, ASUS Prime B450M-A II RAM (2x8GB), Corsair Vengeance LPX CL16 (3200MT/s DDR4), and Crucial P3 Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD. Additional components include a Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003, Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM010, and a Thermaltake TR2 600W PSU. The setup originally functioned well after a free upgrade—new motherboard, CPU, and RAM were provided. Initially, DOCP was active at full speed, the GPU was RX 580 8GB, and the RX 6600 was later added for performance upgrades. After driver updates and Windows updates, BSODs began randomly appearing. I rolled back changes and rebooted; it resolved temporarily. However, after switching to Chrome in Firefox, the issue persisted. I suspected an irql_not_less_or_equal error from ntoskrnl.exe, likely due to a faulty driver. I cleaned everything, reinstalled drivers, but the problem remained. A full OS reinstall as a clean install produced the 24h2 build yet still triggered BSODs. Games like MW6 Black Ops and Mass Effect Saga ran stably during play, but web browsing caused crashes with the same error. Running MEMTEST with two RAM configurations showed no issues. DOCP was disabled then the problems continued. Crystal disk info confirmed SSD and HDD are healthy. I’ve attached the latest mini dump file for reference. Please help if you can.
Performance was excellent prior to the updates. AMD confirms this is the maximum speed.
