BSOD

TheBreadMuncher · 8 Jun 2024 at 12:32

I keep getting a BOSD saying driver_irql_not_less_or_equal and specifically saying stornvme.sys has failed. I have tried to fix it in command prompt but that didn't work and so saved the few things I wanted on my pc and reset it. This didn't go to plan and crashed several more times. I am now on the start up menu for wimdows 11 choosing my pin and stuff like that. And every 20 seconds I get the same blue screen. Anyone ha e a solution? And does this mean it's a hardware problem and not a software. I've checked some of the parts like the RAM and my SSDs are new ( I had the problem before too) and I don't know what to try next.

From Copilot:

StorNVMe (also known as stornvme.sys) is the system-supplied storage miniport driver that provides access to high-speed NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) devices. It has been available since Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 1. If you encounter issues related to stornvme.sys, such as Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) errors, you might need to troubleshoot or update the driver

stornvme appears to be storage related, so I'd check your SSDs with something like CrystalDiskInfo and maybe try an old HDD or something, just to verify that it works.

Also worth running memtest to check your RAM is alright.

Are you running with XMP/expo enabled?

I cannot excess my computer without it crashing so can't check the storage unless I can through the bios. Memory test yesterday when I got it to work for a little bit said it was good. I'm out of the house at the moment but will check the xmp later and get back to you.

safemode access?

I had no access to safemode as it kept tracking. What I've done was remove hdd and secondary nvme ssd and updated my bios this seems to have fixed the issue (hopefully not temporarily). I've now plugged in my seconds nvme ssd back in and so far no crashes. So it's either old bios or faulty hdd.
