Looking for some help... I'm getting consistent BSODs on certain games and dump files appear to be fairly consistent on the reason from what I can tell. The reason code on the BSOD tends to be IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL but I still don't really understand it unfortunately.
Most of the PC is quite new as I upgraded an existing rig - more or less replaced every component in the end. Most are about a month old and only the PSU has been retained (about 1 year old). I was getting system crashes under error code 4101 in Event Viewer, right after I finished the build and errors relating to nvlddmkm. Display turned off, GPU fans to max and usually a hard reset needed to recover. Tried DDU, flashing vbios to GPU. Nothing worked. BSOD, GreenSOD etc.
I restored original vBios to the GPU then wiped my old boot/system file drives and reinstalled Windows which has appeared to have resolved the errors noted above. Reinstalled a bunch of my apps I would normally use. Found that OpenRGB didn't play well and may have been linked to some crashes so I uninstalled a couple of days ago.
I have the default XMP profile active for the RAM, and did have PBO active for the CPU.
This takes us to present day, I still get BSOD when trying to game - significant load on the GPU, 4k Ultra settings as recommended by GeForce Experience. Doesn't happen on every game but consistently on RDR2 (will crash within 5 minutes of gameplay, sometimes straight to desktop, occasional BSOD) and on Undisputed (early access game, picked up today, BSOD after a few minutes gameplay).
Running on latest Nvidia drivers and this is the only graphics driver I have installed as it was released prior to my Windows reinstall. Have not tried an older driver.
Not really sure what to do next...
Any help would be much appreciated!
