    Stop code: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL every time. i updated GPU drivers and reinstalled teh game. Everything else is stable. Whats the next step?

    Other games, benchmarks and long editing sessions all run perfectly. Only this game triggers it, which makes me suspect a specific driver rather than general hardware. Minidump files are there if someone can tell me how to read them.

  2. hmmm make sure Windows is fully updated, including optional driver updates. Kernel anti-cheats are tested against current Windows builds.

  4. oof analyze the minidumps in C:\Windows\Minidump. install WinDbg from teh Microsoft Store, open a .dmp file and run !analyze -v. look for MODULE_NAME and IMAGE_NAME: they show which driver crashed.

  5. ehh id not immediately blame anti-cheat. In my experience its usually just the thing that exposes an unstable drvier or RAM setup.
