BSOD Centering around ntoskrnl.exe, IRQL Not less than or Equal
I have been having multiple BSOD while running gaming applications, almost always being IRQL not less than or equal messages, with varying memory addresses.
It only occurs during the gaming, as I seem to be able to keep it open to browse pdfs or the internet easily enough, and only during certain higher stress points of the game. (MMORPG group play in busy areas, or combat in single player games tend to trigger it, while menus and 'quiet' portions seem to run fine.
The problem existed months ago and prompted me to replace the motherboard, ram, and processor all in the course of a week and a half. The problem vanished for a while, and then came back within a few weeks. The same vanishing occurred when I switched my computer into a clean boot mode, and it was gone for 3 days and then returned again.
I've tried some other fixes, such as replacing the offending files from the install disc and recovery x: drives, and have been updating drivers as much as I can but I really have no idea where the problem truly is. Any assistance at this point would be amazing. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your help!
