Windows 10: BSOD IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ntoskrnl.exe, KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

Hello, I'm Vicky. It's the first time I'm seeking help here because I don't know what else to do. My PC has been experiencing BSOD Blue Screen of Death for a long time. Initially, it only happened when I wasn't putting much load on it, like when I was simply browsing the internet. I could play games without any issues, and the BSOD wouldn't occur. However, when I started trying to fix it, it got worse, and now it throws BSOD randomly.After reinstalling various versions of Windows countless times, I eventually installed Windows 11 and reset the BIOS to factory settings. I thought that had fix

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL / KMODE EXCEPTION HANDLED at installation of Windows

Hi andy4117,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community

1. Did you installed Windows 10 on this computer before?
   
2. Are you trying to install Windows by booting from the disc or USB?
   
3. When you says MBR – GPT, May I know the complete error message that you are receiving, when you are installing Windows?
   
4. Did you unplugged all the external device, apart from Mouse and keyboard?
   

Usually, IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL / KMODE EXCEPTION HANDLED errors are seen if there are faulty hardware, drivers or anti-virus programs. As you are trying to install Windows 10, you can try the steps to perform a Custom Installation
of Windows 10 by booting from a disc or USB.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL could be due to faulty hardware problem, faulty system service problem and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED could be due to Hardware incompatibility and Faulty device driver or system service

BSOD: Kmode exception not handled AND driver irql not less or equal afd.sys

Hello there,

over the past several months I have been getting blue screen of deaths on my gaming PC once every 5-10 days or so, at random. 95% of the BSODs show the error code "kmode exception not handled" while just today I got a new message that read "driver irql not
less or equal - afd.sys". I have read that it could possibly be a driver issue, a memory issue, or even a bios issue. Id really appreciate help that could guide me in any of these directions. I have also read that minidumps could be of help, which I have located.
I can provide some of these if necessary. Thanks!
