Windows 10: How do I fix BSOD issues for IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL followed by DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE...

Hello,I have been facing issues with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Before the former BSOD, I was just browsing Chrome and watching Netflix with several tabs open, although it was just occupying around 2 GB of RAM and around 59% of RAM of all operations in total 16 GB total RAM.Here's the link to the onedrive with the zip folder of the BSODs on two seperate occasions.

BSOD caused by DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (Windows11)

Hi

Thanks for replying my thread. I'm afraid that I'm hitting the DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bsod rather than IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bsod.

FYI, I did update the driver before the BSOD.

Thanks

 

Bsod "irql_not_less_or_equal"

This most probably is due to a faulty charger or a battery.

Method 3: Check Your Memory and Hardware
If the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is not related to the software, then some hardware glitches might be causing the issue. In such a scenario, you should try testing the RAM of your device. Fortunately, Windows offers a utility tool called memory diagnostics. Refer to the following instructions to learn how to access the utility tool.

IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

If your computer auto restarts on BSOD find the setting in windows to make it stop.
Second step is to look for the error code of the BSOD.
Perhaps easier would be to use an online application such as bluescreen viewer.
Once you know which driver is causing the problem you can look further into fixing it.
