DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Problem - Help needed

[Daniel_299]

Hi I have recently built a new PC, using a 3XS CPU system pre-build.

I have begun to get regular BSOD whenever I am playing certain games (play time about an hour) with this error message.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

No specific driver comes up as the problem on the blue screen in brackets, just that information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Going to need an awful lot more information than the product line.

From my experience these are memory errors. They can be caused by poor power supplies, bad memory, bad GPUs, poorly seated graphics cards, and even CPU overheating (intel chips have the memory controller in the CPU)

I guess the next questions.

Is the memory running at 3000Mhz?
Did they overclock the CPU?

My guess would be that with such speedy memory you are going to need more memory voltage to maintain 3000Mhz. Alternative option would be to run the memory at a more reasonable speed like 2400Mhz and see if it behaves any better. You should have several XMP profiles to choose from in the BIOS. You can also use CPU-Z to get all the supported JEDEC timings stored in the memory.

They did overclock, I have since reversed that and put the voltage back to normal on the CPU, will attempt to run the memory slower. Memory voltage was at 1.3

Stock memory voltage would be 1.2, max 1.35. Looks like they split the difference, but the memory itself recommends 1.35 volts.
