SOLVED Blue Screen of Death

[raptorman63]

2 months ago I upgraded my OS to Win10. Aside from a few problems it's been running great until now. My PC keeps crashing and going to this blue screen of death. Any ideas how I can fix this?

" IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL " usually means a driver issue. Sometimes the BSoD even shows which driver is causing it.
Which Version of Windows are you running by chance??

Windows 10. Just installed it a few weeks back.

It's still been shutting down. I'm guessing it's something with the monitor. Today when I turned on my PC, my monitor Display Resolution switched from 1920x1080 to 1024x768. I went to my Device Manager and made sure EVERY item on the list was updated.

I've tried re-install my ViewSonic monitor from the disc, then I called ViewSonic about the problem. They said I need to update my graphics card. I paid $10 and did that. I then called them back and they said it sounds like a Windows problem. Can anyone help me out?

We could have a look if you zip and attach the dump files.

I know you have installed Windows 10, the question of mine was directed to the build as in 2004,1909 or older versions as well as 32bit, 64bit, home or pro or Enterprise...

Windows10 Home Full Version 64-Bit. Sorry, I'm a slight novice when it comes to computers and the jargon.

No worries, that is why we are here... to help.
Since you said you installed Windows 10 two months ago, I think it is safe to assume you got the latest version which should be the 2004 release.
Your build should be then 19041.388. You can confirm that by typing " winver ' in the search box.
it then should look like this:

If that is the case, I have to mention that this build so far is everything but stable (from own experience and problems that users already have experienced). It is, in my humble opinion, still a little buggy so I would not be surprised in having problems like you have.
However, I still think, you may have a driver issue that may have not been found yet....

[edit]

thanks for the Info regarding the build. My assessment still stands though but there may be more help out there...

This build is correct.

"IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL" means that it is a driver issue.
Which laptop do you use?
OR Which Desktop do you use?

Install all the drivers properly.
If you are using a single built kind of Desktop then download the
