    BSOD: driver irql_less_or_not_equal

    I've been getting the occasional BSOD for a while now and finally fed up enough to do something about it. It varies what the BSOD says the cause is but the one I can remember is driver irql_less_or_not_equal. So I went and did the driver verifier and got
    some minidumps. Couldn't even boot into windows with driver verifier on. Crashes seem to happen most often when I'm playing Overwatch (and no other games) and while watching videos on Youtube (Firefox)

  3. BSOD - driver irql_less_or_not_equal (etd.sys)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    As you are facing Blue screen errors on your device. I understand the inconvenience.

    Provide us additional information to understand the issue and assist you better:

    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Have you made any hardware/ software changes to the operating system that might have resulted in this issue?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue along with updating ELAN drivers?

    This Stop error message usually occurs during installation when there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process
    internal request level (IRQL). Typically, this error occurs when a driver uses an incorrect memory address. Other possible causes of this error include an incompatible device driver, a general hardware problem, or incompatible software.

    This issue might have occurred due to compatibility issues of the drivers. I suggest you to install the ELAN drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    Follow the steps to install in Compatibility mode:

    • Download the updated driver from the manufacturer’s website.
    • Right click the driver installation file and select
      Properties then tap or click the Compatibility tab.
    • Place a check in the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box.
    • Tap the drop down box and select a previous operating system, then tap or click
      OK.
    • Try installing the driver and check.
    For your reference:

    Hope it helps. Try the above and reply to the post with an updated status of this issue and required information, we will be happy to assist you better.

  4. Driver irql_less_or_not_equal BSOD

    BSoD related to "Kmode exception not handled", "driver irql_less_or_not_equal", and "Unexpected kernel mode trap"

    I have gotten multiple BSoD in the past week and have tried many solutions to attempt to rid these problems, with "driver irql_less_or_not_equal" being the most common BSoD error, however they are still coming up and I have no idea what is causing these
    BSoD. Would like some help with it. Attached are my 3 most recent minidump files. Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
