Solved BSOD while gaming, mostly Memory Management

I posted about a month ago on here and there was a certain problem regarding authenticity of OS, decided to resolve that before posting again.

Anyway, I've had problems with my computer crashing while playing a plethora of games. World of Warcraft, Dead Rising 2, Payday 2, just to name a handful. Often the crash header is either Memory Management or IRQL Not Less Than Or Equal. Will provide any extra information to the best of my abilities.

Well, I already have it set to create a kernel dump, so I'm not sure why it didn't bring that through. I'll use it until another crash occurs and try to upload as per the instructions. Shouldn't be hard.

I'm wary of using third party software to manage my drivers, but if it's recommended from here and Microsoft certified, I can give it a shot.

Edit: Except I have to buy it. Which should have been expected, but was not. Am I to just use this to determine what I need to find, and then update manually?

No it's ok zangam mate what I meant - I should have been a little more explicit the drivers you get from the Asrock site ASRock > Z170M Pro4S these are the drivers you will need for your board - just look down that listing and you will see the USB download and start with that one for starters.

Like you I am wary of aftermarket driver finders and only use them when absolutely necessary;)
