Hi is anyone else running into this problem? Ever since I updated Windows 10 with the November update, real bench, when gathering system info, will make my system intermittently BSOD with "IRQl not less than or equal" which freezes at 0% and doesn't create a Dump file so I cannot analyse it. This did not happen prior to the update. I have run disk check, SFC, DISM and found no corruption. I also have the latest BIOS(happened with this one and the one before, only ones tested)

The system is completely at stock, is stable, passes the stress test and others and no other program causes this behaviour. This occurs about 1 in 3 times, usually after running a benchmark, always when it is "gathering system information" and is reproducible. I know that real bench uses CPU-z to collect the info so I thought it might be an incompatibility with an older version and win 10 TH2, however, I used realbench 2.42 today which was released recently and uses the latest CPU-z which was released in October but the problem persists. All temps are very good, below 60C for CPU, 72C for GPU.

Perhaps the update replaced some working drivers with Windows Update bull.

Audio, chipset, network, storage or some such.
