BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0x0000000a) caused by eaanticheat.sys
System Information:
- Windows 10 Kernel Version 26100
- 32 processors
- System uptime: 6 minutes before crash
Error Details:
- Bug Check: 0x0000000a (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL)
- Crash Time: October 19, 2025
- Dump File: C:\Windows\Minidump\101925-6578-01.dmp
- Report ID: a3d86aed-a633-43c1-ad81-e7e04d132772
Debug Analysis Results:
- Probably caused by: eaanticheat.sys (EA Anti-Cheat driver)
- Memory referenced: 0x00007fffffff0000
- IRQL: 0x00000000000000ff
- Critical warning: "Unable to verify timestamp for eaanticheat.sys"
Additional Context:
- Crash occurred shortly after system startup (6 minutes uptime)
- The error suggests the EA Anti-Cheat driver attempted to access pageable memory at an improper IRQL level
- This appears to be a driver compatibility or corruption issue
What I've tried:
- Analyzed the dump file with WinDbg
- Confirmed the issue is specifically with EA Anti-Cheat driver
Request:
Looking for solutions to resolve this EA Anti-Cheat related BSOD without completely uninstalling my EA games. Any suggestions for repairing or updating the anti-cheat component would be appreciated.
