I recently purchased an MSI GT70-2OC US laptop through NewEgg and after a week or so of using it started giving me the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. However, it's been giving these errors more frequently: so much in fact that I've had to restart this post three times before being able to successfully submit.

Reading the event viewer shows that they all relate to Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power, which I realize provides little to no help. I've updated all my drivers, installed MSI Afterburner, all of that sorts. I'll provide the XML through my event viewer, though I am noticing some difference in explanation between the Summary view Events and Administrative Events. If anyone could provide any help or needed any specific kind of information, ask and ye shall recieve.

If you read the entirety of what I posted, you will see that I said I already have, so please disregard me categorizing your response as the "solution".

If it helps the situation any, I've already read throughout much of TomsHardware for similar cases and have seen things relating to the possibility of everything from an issue of the Killer Wireless driver, to the bluetooth driver, to the GPU, even so much as hardware problems surrounding the RAM. While all of my drivers have been updated, I'm hoping that it's something that someone here can point out that avoids me having to get the laptop refunded or replaced.
