Blue screen: Driver IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error

[QuentinB]

Every 2 or so minutes I get a blue screen that pops up on my desktop, I can stop it by starting task manager and closing all "Form 1"'s. This makes me think its a virus, as it does not actually affect my system. Besides it being annoying...

You're right, this sounds like a virus. When you have task manager open, right click that process and click "open file location" and make a note of where that is. Then, download and install Malwarebytes. I would boot your computer up in safe mode (F8) and delete that file and it's directory if needed. From there, run Malwarebytes and that will remove everything else.

Let us know how it goes!

Amazing! I had suspicions it was a virus, sure enough my pc works fine now! Malware-Bytes also got some other malicious software while it was at it.
