BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL when launching BBR
Hi all, got a new CPU/Mobo/RAM setup yesterday. Intel Core Ultra 7, MSI Z890 Tomahawk Mobo, 32GB Gskill DDR-5 RAM.
XMP and overclocking is turned off for this troubleshooting.
All mobo and CPU drivers are up to date as is the BIOS. I did do a reformat and reinstall of Windows 11 Pro.
A full output of the dump file from Windbg is attached, snippet is below:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
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.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00007fffffff0000, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000000000000ff, IRQL
Arg3: 00000000000000c4, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff8068a5619ec, address which referenced memory
