Hello, I have an Asus laptop with an i5 and an NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 950M, and I’m facing a problem that has recently arisen for which I have already searched for a solution, but the issue seems quite unusual. Indeed, I keep encountering the famous Blue Screen with the error code ''irql_not_less_or_equal,'' indicating either a faulty driver or defective RAM.
So, I opened up my laptop at the RAM slot location, and to my surprise, I found no RAM sticks in place. I discussed this with someone close to me who also found it very strange, asserting that starting a PC without RAM was odd.
I did some research on the matter and came to the same conclusion:
During startup, the motherboard performs a quick scan to check if all the essential components for booting are present and active. Without RAM, the system won’t start, the tower will turn on without launching anything, and you will hear beeps as a signal; these beeps indicate that there is no RAM installed in the tower.
However, my laptop powers on correctly, I can navigate the desktop, browse, etc., but after about 10-15 minutes, I get the infamous Blue Screen. I am open to any help, but I admit I’m not very knowledgeable about hardware :/
Thank you in advance. ;)
