So as I mentioned in the "What are you playing?" thread the other day, I have a backlog of games I started but never finished, New Vegas being one of them. I decided I'd reinstall it yesterday and pick up where I left off. Unfortunately, my PC BSODs with the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL stop code either while loading to the main menu, or within a minute after loading my saved game. I don't recall having this issue before, but I do remember having to jump through a fair amount of hoops to get Fallout 3 to work.
Initial (unsuccessful) troubleshooting steps I took last night:
- All Windows updates are installed (I believe I'm on Windows 10 2004 but will have to double check when I get home in a few hours).
- 5700 XT drivers are up to date.
- Removed my CPU and memory OC
- Enabled compatibility mode for Fallout NV launcher
- Steam is up to date
I'm thinking that I just didn't enable compatibility mode properly. I believe compatibility mode was what allowed me to finally get Fallout 3 running, and I was troubleshooting New Vegas at around 1:30 AM with a couple IPAs in me so it's likely I didn't enable it properly. I recall running some compatibility troubleshooter and I got a UAC pop-up after launching the game through Steam so I might've just hastily assumed I did so correctly. Any insight that could be provided would be greatly appreciated. It is worth noting that my system specs are up to date. New Vegas is installed on the WD Blue 3D SSD.
