IRQL not less or equal BSOD

[Guest]

So I built this computer over a month ago and I am getting BSOD. The name of it is IRQL not less or equal. 

My specs are as follows:

i5 6600K @4.5ghz

980 Ti

2x8GB Hyper X Fury DDR4

Windows 10 Pro 64bit

 

With this BSOD I hear it can either be a driver issue or memory issue. I have not used memtest86 yet to test my ram. The odd part of this BSOD is it only happens in Fallout 4 and nothing else. It was not happening before, so I suspect that it could be the latest windows 10 update. So I believe it must be drivers.

 

Do you guys have any idea?

do a memtest

I had this issue and it was a memory issue

If it is the memory would I have to return it?

Most likely yes

You would need to RMA it

Kingston is great for this

i'd do a cmos reset and try it out.

 

then I'd try 1 stick in the farthest slot from the cpu. then I would try the other stick in that same slot. then switch each in turn to the other slot, again, switching 1 stick at a time.

Yeah this is exactly what I would do. Further away the RAM stick; the higher the latency = somewhat more stability.

Most likely yes

Ran memtest, no errors
