Hi Ayman,

I'm Hruthik, a student from Microsoft. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE errors are both related to system stability issues in Windows:

1. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x0000000A):

• This error occurs when a kernel-mode driver or Windows itself tries to access paged memory at an invalid address while at a raised interrupt request level (IRQL).
• Possible causes:

  - Faulty hardware (e.g., RAM, hard drive, or motherboard).
  
        - Incompatible or outdated drivers.
  
              - Corrupted system files.
  

  • Steps to resolve:
  • Run Memory Diagnostics to check for RAM issues.
  • Use DISM and SFC Scan to repair corrupted system files.
  • Update or roll back your drivers.
  • Verify hardware components.
    • If the issue persists, consider resetting your PC.

1. KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (0x00000139):

• This bug check indicates that the kernel detected corruption of a critical data structure.
• It can be caused by various factors, including faulty drivers, hardware issues, or system corruption.
  • Steps to troubleshoot:
    • Update your graphics card drivers. Uninstall existing drivers using the Display Driver Uninstaller and then install the latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
    • Monitor your system for further crashes and provide crash dumps if needed.

Remember to back up your important data before making any changes. If you encounter more crashes, share the relevant crash dumps for further analysis.

Thank You,

Hruthik

Hello,

The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE errors are usually caused by faulty drivers or hardware issues. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Update your drivers: Go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers for your hardware. Install them and see if the issue persists.
2. Check for hardware issues: Run a hardware diagnostic test to check for any issues with your hardware. You can use the built-in Windows Memory Diagnostic tool.
3. Disable overclocking: If you have overclocked your system, try disabling it and see if the issue goes away.
4. Perform a clean boot: A clean boot can help you identify if any third-party software is causing the issue. To perform a clean boot, follow these steps: a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. b. Type msconfig and press Enter. c. In the System Configuration window, click on the Services tab. d. Check the box next to Hide all Microsoft services. e. Click on Disable all. f. Go to the Startup tab and click on Open Task Manager. g. Disable all the startup items. h. Close Task Manager and click on OK in the System Configuration window.

Hope this helps.
