I built this PC a little over a year ago, and it worked great up until about 4 months ago. It started randomly freezing, not often, so I ignored it. I then started to see the odd crash/restart and BSOD.
The BSOD message that comes up is:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
It takes me usually multiple power on and off's before the computer will even begin to boot, and then I usually have to go through 2-4 Freezes/Crashes/BSOD until it will finally stay stable enough I can do something. And even then I've got maybe 45 minutes until it crashes again.
A friend suggested that it sounds like my HDD drive has corrupted and needs to be replaced, I'm hoping that's the problem cause it's an easy fix, but I figured I'd come here for some help before I tried anything.
Everything in the computer was purchased new when I built the computer except for the PSU.
