    Hello

    The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error that occurs when a kernel-mode driver attempts to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high. This error is typically caused by a driver using an incorrect memory address.

    sld.sys is the driver file of Sophos security software products, you can try to update the driver to see if it solves the problem.
