For the love of God I can't play!

[Inspector Gadget]

The EASYanticheat dosen't appear to want to be installed correctly because the exe just spawns a command prompt for 0.1 seconds and then calls it a day. Whenever I can launch it with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing it instantly blue screens, and no its not a pc issue because if i launch the game in offline mode it works just fine.
Tried everything from reinstalling the game to messing with the power supply settings.
The BCOD error is "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Don't know what else to do at this point. Uninstalled even third party software like MSI afterburner.

lol looks like you've got some serious underlying issues with your PC.

Use Windows Event Viewer to find the relevant crash log. Search for "elden ring" or "start_protected_game.exe". Copy / paste the most recent of those crash logs here.

this sounds like something is really wrong with your system we need event logs to help you. specific i need some more informations to pinpoint the cause for a system fault.

bsod is irq not less or equal typically pertains to a memory alocation error. run windows memory diagnostic or a similar program.

[Inspector Gadget]

I cannot install the easyanticheat, it simply will not be bothered to even run anymore. I can't play the game online because of that piece of ♥♥♥♥.

the bsod could happen because eac accesses the part of your memory which is damaged.

he has a damaged windows system, windows can no longer run executables without a full path in use this points to a infection with a malware or virus that screwed up the core registry, since it looks like he get the same problem at a new administrator profile too there is only one way wipe the system start a new installation

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL is memory related.

a IRQ_not_less_or_equal simply means there is a systeminteruption at a unexpected point nothing more there are several thousand option why it happen but:

he get this error during installation of EAC:

'EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Installation is complete.
Press any key to continue . . .

i have analysed this problem before about a year ago and there the system was infected with a malware that manipulated the core registry by add to any exe file you want to run itself except you use a full path notation

btw it got resolved by a clean windows installation and this guy had exactly the same problem with BSOD IRQ_not_less_or_equal too

while i don't doubt your experience with the error it literally means "is typically a memory related error that occurs if a system process or a device driver seeks access to a memory address for which it lacks valid access rights. "

for what its worth scanning memory cant hurt and should be done anyway.

but hey what do we know its not his system.

you did not recognized that i alone fixed nearly 2000 problems here and my expertise is far above your googledido stuff, last words you are blocked now, study computer science and work like me 26 years in this area maybe than you can talk about stuff you do not understand actually.

i did work in IT for 25 years, i mostly dealt in hardware and system building and repairs. i use google to justify what i know i realize this, but you dont. maybe people would not doubt you if you did such a thing.

why i should post things that got posted at random websites related to a complete different It's clear that you prefer to tell us nonsense, since you are/were just a small, employed computer screwdriver.

those aren't random, they are cherry picked google searches, something op would find if he did his due diligance. and not sure what stick you got up your bum but dude take a chill pill, he should do what you say too! but in my experience irql not less or equal bsod is hardware related. your answer could fix it temporarily, mine would solve the source issue in most cases.

[Khimari]

IRQ_not_less_or_equal is usually tied not to memory error, but hw driver / system file corruption. Try to update chipset / cpu / gpu / audio drivers and use windows /DISM command to check system integrity. Search online for:

How to use DISM command tool to repair Windows

My humble guess is you are currently using an nVidia GPU and don't have latest drivers installed. Also, the second most common BSOD error is "DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION" (gpu time out). Hope this helps
