Hi! I have a problem with my PC which is Blue Screen and displays: "driver_irql_not_less_or_equal" even if I only used it in browsing or video streaming, or even in light gaming and editing.

My unit is new with the following specs:

Processor: Ryzen 5 3400G

RAM: Ripjaws 3200 2x8gb

Mobo: Gigabyte A320M-S2H v2

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX570 4G

I have SSD Stick 240Gb for OS and HDD 500Gb for storage.

Currently, the OS installed is Windows 10 ROG Edition (Installed by the computer shop where I bought the PC)

Please help me with my problem... Thank you!

this is usually a RAM error (XMP is OC)
GigaByte did a very bad job with their A/B/X 300er BIOS
XMP is often unusable

1. do a CMOS and then leave everything at "auto"
check if its working now
2. use DDU in safe-mode to clean driver
3. install latest driver
4. if everything works here a workaround in the GigaByte Bios:
leave CPU clocks at "auto
set CPU Voltage to "auto" or dynamic "normal"/"standard"
set RAM Voltage to 1.4V or 1.45V
set vSOC between 1V and 1.06V
set XMP OR set RAM speed and timings manually

if you want to do CPU OC use stuff like "ZenStates"

Ok thanks! I'll try to tweak the settings later..

I already tried the settings you suggested a while ago, and as of now, there were no problems at all. And there were also updates on the GPU driver. Thanks again man! :)

"Windows 10 ROG Edition' ?

Had a quick search, someone offering a modified OS ?

Be curious to know what the 'gurus' on https://www.tenforums.com/ think about it ?

Or anyone else, thoughts ?

I also googled those edition of win10. Some sites says that it is illegal and malware edition of win10. I think it is a modified one. Maybe I'll reformat my unit to reliable source of OS particularly win10 pro. Thanks man!

I have frequent blue screen problem, where my laptop slows down and then blue screen appears... on restarting it does not boot properly.... has to be forced shutdown again...  then it boots normally is fine..

I used Nirsoft website and it shows above screenshot...

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Caused by driver   ...  atikmdag.sys

Can somebody advise a solution....  I am not a tech guy,  so won't be able to comprehend any high-tech solution
