Hello

I am getting IRQL Not less or equal quite semi-often, they are all listed as Kernel-Power ID: 41 in the event log. Most often these happen when playing games.

I should note that my Windows 7 64bit is in Finnish.

Also, the event log attaches this message:

Hey, thank you for quick answer.

However, I do not use AMD Graphics card, but GeForce GTX 760.
How should I try to fix these drivers, then?

Yes, I see that now, but you have an AMD CPU.

I will have a look at this in a bit, I have to go to the pool right now.

I see your NVidia drivers are mostly up-to-date. In that case you can try reinstalling those drivers.
