You know what I want for my birthday today?
Windows. Friggin. 10.
I want it to work.
No matter what I do, my system crashes at least once or twice a day, if not more, at completely random intervals. The laptop has been doing this since I bought it new. I've tried every fix I can think of, so unless it's a hardware issue, I'm out of ideas.
The two error codes I get the most;
>IRQL not less or equal
and
.POINTER_REFERENCE
It's like Windows itself is causing these problems. There -should- be nothing wrong.
Any ideas at all?

IRQL_LESS_THAN_EQUAL is almost always either a shitty driver, broken CPU/PSU/Motherboard/RAM or an unshitty driver trying to drive broken hardware.
It's impossible to trigger it from userspace, because it's a failure inside one of the kernel's interrupt handlers. It can be caused by a kernel bug, but that's highly unlikely compared to the chances of you having a buggy driver or faulty hardware.

>POINTER_REFERENCE
could mean a segfault/ access violation with a pointer pointing to an area in memory where it isn't supposed to.

Could, but inside the kernel it's either a kernel error, a driver error, or a hardware failure.
