Hey everyone, I’m just a kid looking to play Fortnite, but I’m stuck with a frustrating blue screen of death (BSOD) error saying ‘IRQL Not Less or Equal.’ This started happening right after I installed a new Nvidia driver. I’ve already used DDU to uninstall it in safe mode, but the BSOD still shows up every time I try to start Fortnite. I’ve watched countless YouTube tutorials and even reached out to support, but nothing seems to work. My laptop is an Acer Nitro V 4050 with 16GB of RAM and 400GB of storage. I even factory reset the whole laptop to try and fix this issue, but the problem remains. I’m really hoping someone can help me out here—I’ve lost everything from resetting, and buying a new laptop is out of the question!

Hey! Try downloading the 566.36 Nvidia driver from the official site. Make sure to use DDU to uninstall whatever driver you currently have, then install the new one. This might help resolve the BSOD issue you’ve been having with Fortnite!
Got it! So I’ll uninstall the current driver with DDU first, then install the new one. Thanks for the tip!
