Hello people!
Need some help or I'm gonna loose my mind...
Started receiving BSODs some months ago usually when gaming, was just a couple very rarely didn't pay too much attention.
Last month or so started receiving them every few days or so and even while just watching videos or surfing net. Some weeks there's none. And lately had even few a day, but not every day. I use the laptop daily for most of the day, so can tell it's increased... And it's literally even when I'm doing work, reading forums, watching youtube, etc...
So done a clean win reinstall on Wednesday in hopes that it would help, yesterday it worked fine, today I get up, turn my laptop on and got 2 BSODS it the 1st half an hour.
I'm on windows 11.
The main BSOD is "irql_not_less_or_equal" and then occasionally there was another one few times, but can't recall it for the life of me.
Today the two I got was "irql_not_less_or_equal" and "Kernel_Security_Check_Failure" (I think this is a first time I got this one). Was just reading the news when got the 1st one and was running cmd commands like perfmon /rel and sfc /scannow and reading troubleshooting when I got the 2nd one...

#

EDIT: Just got a 3rd one today again "irql_not_less_or_equal"

#

Would really appreciate if somebody could advice me what scans could I run or what program should I install to check for the crash info on the next BSOD.
I haven't really had issues before with bsods, so just learning now what can be done with them...
Any and all help would be much much appreciated 🙏

In order to better understand the root cause of your BSODs, hangs, or crashes, please answer the following questions.
1. What is the bugcheck code it crashed with? (It'll be something like SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA)
2. Is this the first time it happened?
3. Did anything change shortly before the BSOD occurred? (Installed some software, connected a new device etc.)
4. If repetitive in nature, how often does it happen?
5. What version and build of Windows are you on? (Run winver to check)
6. Have you made sure Windows and your drivers are up-to-date?
7. Are any of your components overclocked?
8. Is this a laptop, desktop or another device?
9. Has your machine encountered any impacts, water damage etc. recently?
10. Have you checked that your machine is sufficiently cooled? (Clearing dust, replacing thermal paste etc.)

If possible, please also complete the following:
1. Go to C:\Windows\Minidump and upload the newest .dmp file to the chat with your answers.
2. Open Event Viewer go to Windows Logs > System > Save All Events As and upload the .evtx file to the chat with your answers.
3. Open msinfo32, go to File > Export, then save and upload the .txt file to the chat with your answers.
