    Hi my name is Tamir, im a independent advisor with Microsoft, i understand you getting a BSOD error. What that error is The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is a common Windows stop code that can cause a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). It indicates that an attempt was made to access an invalid address while at a raised interrupt request level (IRQL). This can be caused by a bad memory pointer or a pageability problem with the device driver code.

    Some potential causes of the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error include: Corrupt system files, Incompatible device drivers, Damaged or incomplete software installation, Buggy graphics drivers, and Memory errors.

    you can try these:

    Check for updates

    Make sure your drivers are current by checking for the latest Windows updates. You can do this by selecting the Start button > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates. Then, restart your device.

    Run the Memory Diagnostic tool

    This tool can help identify and address any issues with your RAM, such as faulty modules or incorrect configurations.

    Run the CHKDSK utility

    This utility can scan and repair disk errors that may contribute to memory management issues. To do this, you can:

    Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

    Type and press Enter.

    Confirm the disk check and restart your computer.
