Hello, this is my first post in this forums! I hope you can help me with my problem.
On the 1st of this month, I had a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD after leaving my laptop on to download something overnight. After that, it took longer than usual to bootup, but it did it eventually.
Just today, the same BSOD happened (except without the "DRIVER_" in front). However, after today's 1st BSOD, upon bootup, it took really long (I waited for quite some time) so I decided to forcefully shut it down.
I started it up again, waited for a while and the Windows login screen appeared. I logged in, but the usual Start screen doesn't appear. What appeared was just a blank black screen with my mouse cursor (move-able).
I left it there for a while, and when I came back, it showed a blank black screen without my mouse cursor there any more, and after a few seconds it showed the Windows login page again.
I logged in, and the same blank black screen with the mouse cursor appeared again. I left it there again, and when I came back it showed another (2nd) BSOD (I didn't manage to see what the error was before it restarted).
After a while, the Windows login page appeared again but instead of logging in, I tried doing a clean shutdown (power button -> shutdown). It longer than usual to shutdown, but it eventually did.
I left my laptop to cool for a while, unplugged the power adapter and switched on the laptop again. The bootup was relevantly faster (than the previous ones) and I managed to login successfully with everything loaded properly.
Please help! Thanks!
