Recently my computer's started blue screening with the error listed as "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I'm currently running Windows 10, and I can't find any fixes that seem to apply to my system. Since most of the people who've solved this in other threads tend to ask for it, I'm including a link to a zip file containing the contents of C:Windows\Minidump

Solution
see below, after your system clean up of the drivers, run cmd.exe as an admin then
sfc.exe /scannow
to confirm your basic OS files are not corrupted. If you continue to get bugchecks run cmd.exe as an admin then run
verifier.exe /standard /all
this will turn on debugging to help catch device drivers that are corrupting memory. It will force a bugcheck and name the driver if it catches a driver error.
use
verifier.exe /reset
to turn off the extra checking
-------

stack was corrupted in the 2 bugchecks I looked at.

I would update or remove Realtek Semiconductor Corp USB Mass Storage Driver
\SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\RtsUVStor.sys Thu Jun 14 22:43:06 2012
(I am guessing this is the root of your problem, but it is just a guess)

Step 1 when you are encountering an IRQ BSOD is to update any and all drivers that have more up-to-date versions available from the device or system manufacturer.

Your dump files are inconclusive and do not point to any one driver or application. You could attempt to enable Driver Verifier to find more information about the particular driver that might be causing your issue.

I would start by removing the overclocking software
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Extreme Tuning Utility\Drivers\IocDriver\64bit\iocbios2.sys Tue Jun 17 23:48:56 2014

I would also try to update this old driver for
Conexant High Definition SmartAudio
\SystemRoot\system32\drivers\CHDRT64.sys Tue Jun 05 12:54:15 2012

I would also attempt to update or remove this camera driver:
Creative Camera Class Upper Filter Driver
\SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\CtClsFlt.sys Sun Jun 14 22:06:41 2009

I would also remove the "Dell Precision Optimizer"
\SystemRoot\system32\drivers\DellProf.sys Tue Nov 20 06:19:25 2012

I would remove
Sonic CD/DVD driver (used by many different CD/DVD programs)
\SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\PxHlpa64.sys Tue Apr 24 10:26:29 2012
