Let me start with specs:
R9 290
i5 4460
B85M-E45 Motherboard
Corsair VS 550W
8 GB RAM G.Skill
1 TB HDD
TP Link Wifi Adapter
Have this problem happening for a long time, happened even when I had a GTX 960.
Basically, PC will crash/freeze randomly and usually display the dreaded IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
I've tried running memtest, I've tried updating drivers, I've tried runinng SMART scan on the HDD. Hell, I've stress tested the GPU and the CPU to rule them out as culprits. I have no idea what could be causing this - maybe the motherboard as i have issues plugging in USB devices sometimes.
Anyway, here's the crash dumps:
On Mon 23/01/2017 19:40:16 your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\012317-31281-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x14A6F0)
Bugcheck code: 0xA (0xFFFFDD03F5A99042, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFF800FEF5290A)

description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
On Mon 23/01/2017 19:40:16 your computer crashed

Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: rtwlanu.sys (Realtek WLAN USB NDIS Driver 40116, Realtek Semiconductor Corporation ).
