BSOD on Boot - IRQL_not_less_or_equal

fzy1999 · Jan 11, 2024

My laptop has been getting frequent BSODs on boot. It happens regularly on boot and restart, but once the laptop is booted it usually works fine. At first a variety of error codes were given, but recently they have been IRQL_not_less_or_equal. I have followed some advice on other forums and run through the usual suspects, e.g. updating BIOS, reinstalling core drivers, sfc, memory management. I thought it was a RAM issue, but I have run Memtest 86+ for 15 passes with no errors, so don't think it is that now.

3) The BIOS Version/Date LENOVO JUCN59WW, 15/03/2023

Upgrade the BIOS: 59WW > 63WW

BIOS Update for Windows 11 (64-bit) - Legion 5 15ARH7, Legion 5 15ARH7H, Legion 5 Pro 16ARH7, Legion 5 Pro 16ARH7H - Lenovo Support US

4) Run Memtest86+ for 8 or more passes.

MemTest86 - Official Site of the x86 Memory Testing Tool

MemTest86 is the original self booting memory testing software for x86 and ARM computers. Supporting both BIOS and UEFI, with options to boot from USB.

The more the passes the better the test conditions.

It sometimes takes passes in the 20s to find malfunctioning RAM.

I’ve done everything except Lenovo Diagnostics, which is currently running. I’ve uploaded all the other files/photos into the Onedrive folder, thanks!

Nice progress.

Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

chkdsk /b /v

Run on all drives using the syntax: chkdsk /b /v C: or chkdsk /b /v D: or chkdsk /b /v E: etc.

Make sure that these switches run on the Windows drive overnight while sleeping.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /b /v
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N) n

Type: Y

Reboot as needed.

When all are completed run:

I ran Lenovo Diagnostics fully with all tests passed, but I couldn't save the log. I only have a picture of the end of the log, which is in the Onedrive.

I ran the chkdsk commands, but as you will see from the log below it seems that the C: drive check did not register. I looked at the screen after restarting throughout and the C: drive check seemed to be running fine until it reached 100% and the laptop attempted to restart, at which point there were multiple IRQL_not_less_or_equal BSODs. Should I try running it again?

Boot to Safe Mode in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to boot Windows 11 into normal mode, Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, or Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. If a problem doesn't happen in safe mode, this means that default...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>chkdsk /b /v C:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type: Y

Reboot

Run overnight while sleeping.

2) Please post a new V2 share link into the newest post. (not into the opening post)

The Lenovo diagnostics reported some drive test results.

The laptop appears to have malfunctioning hardware.

For indirect verification the computer stability / instability can be tested with either or both Windows Driver Verifier (WDV) and safe mode.

3) Read this link on Windows Driver Verifier (WDV):

How to Enable and Disable Driver Verifier in Windows 10

www.tenforums.com

Learn the methods to recover from using the tool by booting into safe mode and running one or more of these commands:

verifier /reset

verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail

4) Make a new restore point:

Create System Restore Point in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to manually create a restore point in Windows 11. Turning on system protection for a drive allows System Restore to include the drive when restore points are created so you can undo undesired system changes by reverting to a previous point in time. System...

5) Start WDV with these settings:

a) Select all non-Microsoft drivers
b) Select no Microsoft drivers
c) Start the WDV testing with the 3 customized tests in the TF tutorial

6) Plan to run WDV with various customized tests for approximately 48 hrs

7) If there is no immediate BSOD when WDV is started then open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

verifier /querysettings

Post a share link into the newest post with only the querysettings results.

8) For any BSOD post a new V2 share link into the newest post with only the V2 log collector results.

Please do not follow that Driver Verifier tutorial unless you want random unrelated crashes. It's proven to be incorrect time and time again. Could you please open an elevated (administrative) command prompt and then the following command:

Rich (BB code):

fltmc filters >> %userprofile%\Desktop\filters.txt

Please attach the filters.txt file to your next post. In addition to that, please enable Driver Verifier using the following tutorial, however, please only enable the following three settings for now:

Special Pool
Security Checks
Force IRQL Checking

It is important that you enable Driver Verifier on fltmgr.sys as well. Additionally, from an elevated command prompt, please run the following command:

Rich (BB code):

reg save HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services %userprofile%\Desktop\services.hiv

Please attach the file named services.hiv to your next post.

P.S. zbook will most likely say that the Driver Verifier tutorial which I recommended is "unsafe" or "inadequate", yet they'll be able to provide no reason as to why this is the case.

fzy1999 · Jan 14, 2024

Oddly enough the problem is even worse in Safe Mode. If I try the shift + restart method, there is an inevitable crash on boot before Windows just boots normally. I tried to force Safe Mode in msconfig, which resulted in several crashes. I did manage to get into Safe Mode a few times, but it just BSODs or completely freezes after about 5 seconds, whereas I can run regular Windows just fine.

Another Stop 0x139 again for the exact same reason as the previous ones, could you please follow the instructions mentioned in my previous post?

I would strongly recommend removing McAfee WebAdvisor using the removal instructions. I've seen third-party security programs cause far too many crashes, especially Avast, AVG and McAfee. Once it has been removed, then please open an elevated command prompt and then enter the following command:

Nvidia driver was uninstalled with DDU and then reinstalled from Lenovo website. Some BSODs happened along the way, so I have run V2 log collector again: OneDrive

Verifier is now running.

Forgot to ask - what am I looking for with Driver Verifier and when should I stop running it?

This tutorial is one of the safest methods in using the tool.

The other link on verifier has many mistakes.

Yet, I've demonstrated on this forum that that is not the case on more than one occasion. What mistakes? Can you please tell me what they are?

Which set of instructions are you following? I would strongly recommend that you follow the instructions I provided in post #7, particularly the option called Security Checks. The tutorial suggested by zbook is just going to lead to a number of false positives, I think it just strengthens my point really when zbook can't provide any solid argument why the TF tutorial is better, other than using vague terms like "safest" and my tutorial having "mistakes". I guarantee that he will provide no clarification or actual technical explanation on what mistakes there are.

BlueRobot, I am currently following your tutorial, with the 3 listed settings, all the non-Windows drivers selected, and the 4 Windows drivers you listed in the tutorial including fltmgr.sys.
