Does anyone else getting this bsod on windows 10?

I never had this issue with vanilla iso. I get this bluescreen every 3-4 weeks. On every computer i have. sometimes bluescreen's name is different but mostly it's "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL "

I have 4 computers. they all get this in period of use. sometimes 1 sometimes more.

PS: I always use latest drivers.

2 of my laptops specs
intel chipset latest
gtx1070 latest
intel 6xx graphics latest
realtek lan latest
realtek card latest
sound blaster driver provided with laptops website
sound card driver provided with laptops website
touchpad provided with laptops website
tools provided with laptops website

other one is
850m
4600 hd graphics
others are the same.

so basically they are different laptops. they didnt have bsod with vanilla os. they got bsod random with my preset. it is not frequent but still there is an error.

Hi ege914,
are you sure it didn't start with the latest CPU microcode patches that Microsoft deployed with updates?
Because that sounds like the issues that were reported.

If we assume it's the component removal, we need to analyze the crash dump file.

If the dump files (c:\windows\minidump\) are small enough, or you have no problem uploading a bigger one compressed from (c:\windows\memory.dmp) somewhere like Google Drive, then please do so and I'll review.

You can also check yourself, see here how.

If there is no dump file, see here how to set one to generate on next crash.

Thanks.
 
I reinstalled my pcs so there is no dump file yet, i will report when i got dump file. thanks! but no i don't think its because of microupdates since i never update 2 of my pcs.
 
Thanks ege914.

It looks like Realtek driver (rt640x64.sys) might be to blame. At least in one dump file, the second one was inconclusive, only about the actual crash handling.

Can you please uninstall in Device manager Network adapter Realtek driver and make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device".
Then rescan the devices to install Windows default driver.

Or if you don't have a Windows driver, and don't want to Host Refresh or reinstall with it, try updating to the latest Realtek one, if yours is not the latest already.

If you do not have the "Delete the driver software for this device" checkbox on driver uninstall, that means it's already Windows driver, then also try the update to the Realtek's latest.

If that doesn't help, let me know, with a new dump file.

Thanks.
 
Try to keep DevQuery Background Discovery Broker and if possible, upload all minidump files.
 
@ege914, just stating what I saw in the dump file, these are the short versions of what WinDbg reports for them:

- one: "probably caused by : wfplwfs.sys ( wfplwfs!L2FreeNetBufferListContext+74 )
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses. "

- the other:
"probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!ST_STORE<SM_TRAITS>::StDmPageError+117 )
FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE (12b)
This bugcheck indicates that a single bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error."

That said, I saw a BSOD myself today, but could be unrelated as I do overclock.
"Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiGetPageProtection+16cceb )
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)
# Any other values for parameter 1 must be individually examined."

Can you with 100% guarantee that full Windows don't have this issue?
Seems too varied to be caused by one removed component, and even that dmp file analysis in one of yours and mine states a hardware issue.
Most probably started with some Windows/BIOS patch. Check this out.

Btw do you maybe have Comodo installed, or some other Antivirus? It might clash with the Spectre locks.

I'm not dismissing this, enabled full dump on mine, so when it next time happens I'll give it a deeper look, it was on minidump currently.

Edit: some more info here from the 7-zip author, people in the comments are reporting IRQ BSOD as well, seems like something fishy is going on.
