Hello, I am new to tomshardware. I have looked everywhere on google to try and find a solution to these crashes but none have helped. I keep getting BSOD crashes that give me errors such as DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY.
I have updated my motherboard's BIOS, reinstalled windows 10, checked for memory problems using Windows Memory Diagnostic, used sfc /scannow using Administrator Command Prompt to check for corrupt windows files, manually updated drivers in device manager, all to no avail.
The only thing that seemed to suggest my problem lies with a faulty driver is when I ran Driver Verifier under "select all drivers," in which my computer promptly crashed upon restarting and I had to restore my PC to a restore point.
System specs are:
Windows 10 Education 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
Memory: 16GB RAM
Motherboard: ASUS 77-A
ASUS GTX 960 4gb
120GB PNY SSD9SC120gla-xlr
1 TB hard drive
I can include the minidumps from the crashes if anyone needs them, I would do it on this post but I can't seem to find a way to attach a file. Thank you so much for any help.
