    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Driver irql not less or equal fault

    Thanks for the replies guys. Some good info there, much appreciated. My pc has been out of action for months because of this problem so although I’m very eager to get it up and running again I think I’m entitled to a replacement of equal worth as Nursemorph said. I guess I’ll have to hold on...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Driver irql not less or equal fault

    Yeh I agree. I’ll get a replacement gpu first. Is there any particular stress test you’d recommend for me to test it thoroughly with? The faults only ever occurred when gaming or loading up a game so that’s easy enough to check but hoping there’s something a little more conclusive. Thanks

Swap the card...

    Yeh that was my thinking too. It’s just strange that the same problem has repeated with a clean windows install thanks

    Ok so I clean installed the latest driver from Nvidia and now my pc crashed after five minutes of play time and reset itself. It reset again when I tried to run my game again and now the pc won’t boot up (it’s the same thing that happened in my first post which caused me to do a new windows...
