Random BSOD - During Gameplay or Internet Browsing.
Hello all.
I'm new to these forums and I've been pulling my hair out trying to work out the problems I am receiving with my PC, I am doing an IT course and currently doing my Level 2 City & Guilds at College but sadly I'm still not the bright bulb in the bunch when it comes to fixing PCs, I've searched the internet for fixes for my problem and currently not found a single solution, I've also formatted my computer, ran virus scans, updated drivers, removed RAM sticks to see if the problem lied there and so far achieved nothing.
From reading a previous post I saw somebody with the same blue screen error as myself, was told to run the Command Prompt as Administrator and type in "sfc /scannow" and I got this result...
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.Log. For Example
c:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
I believe this might be the problem but as I said, I'm not the best when it comes to the technician side of computing sadly.
The problem itself which I am experiencing is just random experiences, the problem itself has been occurring for months now but was usually just one blue screen a day which I wasn't majorly in a rush to fix (Which I assume was a very bad idea) but recently I notice games are lagging when they shouldn't be, I have played these games on my PC before at max graphics and had no problems but now it getting rather annoying, to add further annoyance I'm noticing just playing a YouTube videos (And that's all I will be doing at the time, not running any other programs) the whole computer freezes up for a few seconds and it repeats the last noise that played through my PC during the brief freeze, always being very quick and sounding nothing like it did before the freeze, once the PC stops it works fine but its concerning. I'm also experiencing blue screens when I'm not even at my computers, I've left game launchers running to download patches etc for my games and come back later to find the computer has restarted itself.
I get blue screens randomly but more often during game play, the blue screen doesn't always display a message/title (not quite sure what it is to be honest, not covered blue screens at college yet) but when it does display a title/message it says this "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" I would really be grateful for any help provided, I'm willing to provide any information I can and I hope I have provided all required first time around.
