IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

During restart, I got an error message
reading "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".

Can anybody tell me what causes this and what I should do
about it, please?

Occurs occasionally, but not every time.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Ian,

That error message indicates a driver issue. Troubleshooting it can be
lengthy. Check that your hardware and the drivers for it meet the
compatibility list:
