PC keeps getting Bluescreen
Hi guys
So I’ve had my self built pc for around 3.5 - 4 years but lately (it started around 3 weeks ago) my pc keeps getting Bluescreens with the error code “IRQL_NOT_LESS_ OR_EQUAL”
Before explaining the problem in more detail these are my specs:
Mainboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z590-A Gaming WiFi
CPU: Intel i7 -11700KF
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060
RAM: 2x 8GB of Corsair vengeance
SSD: 1TB m.2 Samsung 980 Pro and 2TB m.2 Samsung 990 Pro
OS: Windows 10 Home
It all started like three weeks ago, where my Ethernet suddenly just disappeared for no reason and this was mostly followed by a Bluescreen with said error code. (This especially happened often when I played Minecraft with shaders oder had multiple tabs open)
When the Bluescreen came it was sometimes caught in a loop where the pc showed a Bluescreen 5 times or went into a Windows reset menu. After those multiple crashes the system worked normally for like 10-20 minutes until it happened again.
There were days when this didn’t happen and days where this happened a lot.
In the last couple days I tried to fix the problem.
Interestingly enough one of my SSDs (the 2TB one) wasn’t shown in the explorer but it was shown in Bios. When plugged in the SSD was recognized for around 5 mins and then disappeared. I thought the this SSD might have been broken and thus the cause of the problem. It turns out that this seemed not to be the problem since the Bluescreens continued on.
After that I decided to reset my Windows but right after resetting the Bluescreens appeared again.
The Pc is generally usable as long as it doesn’t need to handle a huge amount of tabs or high performance games.
The Ethernet problem isn’t fixed either, sometimes I have it and sometimes I don’t and I need to rely on WiFi
Ive tried several Diagnosis tools, but they didn’t help so far.
I have no Idea what causes the problem or how to fix it.
