My PC keeps bsod between 5-10 minutes after every startup. The bsod error message varies and seems like everyone is different. Once the error msg read "irql not less or equal". Some internet posts say to uninstall antivirus software (already did). But it just keeps blue screening.

Event viewer had an error message about the cdrom and nvidia. I installed new nvidia drivers. removed cables to cdrom and removed it from bios. Still get random bsod.

Thinking about wiping out OS and starting over, but don't want to go that route if it's something that can be fixed.
