Windows 10 VM BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Post by Nickhey »

I'm getting BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on my Windows 10 VM. I don't get it on my Server2016 VM so it's odd.

I searched for similar issues but haven't found a solution to it.

I attached my log. I deleted a portion of the log so it was under 128kib

Thanks.

Such is not necessary. Zipped logs fit.

Fortunately, the part you deleted didn't take the parts needed to diagnose the problem.

First, try setting the VM to two processors.

If that doesn't help, try upgrading to the 6.1.35 test build. Save the test build installer until you update again later. You'll need it if your host's MSI installation database goes south (they do) and the installer will not be available for download after the next even-number version gets released.

If that doesn't help, Hyper-V is enabled. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)

Switching to two processors made it very slow.

What worked, at least so far, is using the test build.

Thank you scottgus1

What would work even better is disabling Hyper-v, per Scott's second link.
