    Having persistent BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL linked to dxgmms2 and ntoskrnl


    When running a specific game, at frequent but random occasions I will experience a BSOD. Ive fresh installed all my drivers, bios updated, reinstalled games, run memory tests, run DISM and checked health, no issues, sfc /scannow shows nothing. I'm at a loss tbh. I was advised to try increasing my CPU vcore voltage, which did nothing.Using bluescreen view, I can see that all of the BSODs all have ntoskrnl.exe in common, while some involve dxgmms2.sys. I'll link all the dump files below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qBOkv32WSPdaVXhYxhe54Wm3ax34w4e-?usp=sharing

    BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    I have been getting random BSOD (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Source: nwifi.sys) in the last 3 days. They seem to only appear when playing videos on YouYube, but it might be a coincidence.

    What has changed in the last 3 days?

    Nothing on the laptop itself. I plugged in a new keyboard and mouse (both USB), and a USB hub (USB-C).
    I also installed new drivers for the Intel Graphics and "Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Manager" as suggested by Dell Driver Updater, but this was an attempt to fix the BSOD, which already happened before updating these drivers.

    What are the laptop info and specs?

    • Text version: MEGA
    • Speccy version (can be imported into Speccy): MEGA
    • MsInfo32 Output: MEGA

    Most recent dump files?

    This is the content of C:\Windows\Minidump: (all 3 are the most recent BSOD dumps and match with the date and time of the BSODs)

    MEGA
    MEGA
    MEGA

    What have you tried?

    I have checked with the Dell System Detect utility to see if all the drivers were up to date; 2 weren't and I updated them (as written above) but that didn't solve the issue.

    I have cleaned the system Registry with the CCleaner utility, but that didn't solve the issue.

    What can I do?

    EDIT:

    Upon suggestion, I updated the killer drivers.
    All seemes fine of a while, then, after the laptop went to suspended state, I noticed the external mouse stopped working, while the touchpad worked.
    After plugging and unplugging, I rebooted.
    Laptop stuck to reboot for 6 min (usually takes 6 seconds) then BSOD: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.
