Intermittent BSODs On Startup 0x0000000a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Nov 21, 2011
It's a windows 7 home premium 64 bit new build pc. Very very carefully stuck together, very very carefully installed only the right drivers, very very carefully installed software to make sure nothing starts that I don't want starting and there are no lazy apps using up memory.
Windows 7 flies, it's a lovely machine now but occasionally I get a bsod at startup. I've followed the instructions and added a zip file with all the outputs.
My laptop is around 9 months old, and first showed a few BSODs about 6 months ago. It is still within warranty, and I sent it back to the manufacturer, who apparently did a RAM burn-in or test, found nothing, factory reset it and sent it back. This solved the problem for a few months before it started again, and it has continued for the past month or so. The error codes are in the title in abbreviated form. The BSODs tend to occur when either loading the desktop or launching a program, but they aren't reliably caused by anything and I think they have sometimes happened when doing basic word processing/web surfing etc.I have run the windows memcheck for a total of 4 passes (2 on standard setting, and 2 on extended) and dskchk at least twice, both with no joy. I updated drivers, and finally the BIOS about a week ago. Since the BIOS update I have had no BSODs, but they are really sporadic (occurring sometimes every day, sometimes once a fortnight),I tried looking at the minidumps (attached) with BlueScreenView, which shows a problem every time with ntoskrnl.exe, and sometimes fbfmon.sys, fltmgr.sys, hal.dll, and fileinfo.sys additionally, but none of these other files are consistently flagged as problems.
I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 17R (N7110) that was on sale at Costco. It arrived on Thursday, October 13. However, from the beginning it doesn't always start up correctly. About 4 times out of 12 it got up to the "Starting Windows..." screen, but the 4 lights don't come together to form the windows logo (that's the startup animation). Each time I did a hard reset, and then it would ask if I wanted to run Startup Repair.First time: I think this was before I even installed any of my own programs. Tried running Startup Repair... which failed to start up, and I reset again.
Second time: Immediately following the first, I decided to run Windows normally without Startup Repair, and it worked.Third time: I decided to try Startup Repair again. It went through this time, and when prompted to try a System Restore I did.Fourth time: ...apparently that didn't work, because it happened again. This one happened when I started it for the first time this morning, 10/16. I noticed that the Seagate Drive was attached when I started it this morning. I did another System Restore.Fifth time: 10/16. Pressed F8 and tried to start with Boot Logging. Not sure if ntbtlog.txt recorded the failure, or only the following time when I tried to boot in safe mode. (Safe Mode did work the one time I tried that)
I recently got another different BlueScreen, with an older not resolved. I got two BCodes, 0x000000c2 and 0x0000005a. I ran 'chk dsk /f' and ' sfc /scannow' and got no errors. Latest BSOD Earlier BSOD

[Using Windows 7 64-bit]. My computer has been working fine for months and out of nowhere I get a BSOD. I think it may be a one time thing so I just let it restart but I get a BSOD again. This keeps happening for 3-4 times. Afterwards I think a system restore might fix the problem. When I went to the startup repair screen, right when I'm about to click the system restore button I get a BSOD again. I think it may be something on my drive so I burn a recovery disk. When it's searching for my Windows installations, I get a BSOD again. All of the recovery methods I know of get blocked by this annoying BSOD.
I recently built a pc but been having random BSODs. I have updated all my drivers to the latest versions. The most recent BSOD I got is today while surfing the net.
It displayed MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and fltmgr.sys

My OS is Windows 7 I have been getting a blue screen/error lately that is the frustrating IRQL_not_less_or_equal error.Here is some data I find when my computer restarts itself:

I read some other posts and downloaded BlueScreenView, here are the results
Unfortunately I now am running into a BSOD 0x000000a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. I have included the JCGriff file, Perfmon, and zipped up Minidump files (2 of them to be exact). I am unsure as to what the problem of this one is. I ran MemTest86+ for over 15 Hours and 9 passes and reported no errors. I will be running a chkdsk /r /f along with a Hitachi DiskFitness test. after I post this and will report back.
I'm trying to install the newest build on an old laptop that currently runs XP. I try booting from the DVD, and after it gets to the point where the little green progress bar animation plays on the bottom of the screen, I instantly get the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bsod.
Other cases I've found of this bsod seem to be related to peripheral drivers, but it's a laptop, so there are none (per se).
im having blue screen on my computer when i shut down or restart it. not all the time, but i think 6 times already. my computer is kinda new. so im not really sure if the hardware is to blame. im getting the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in Windows 7 32-bit. anybody knows how to fix this?my computer specs are ECS G41T-M6, Core 2 Duo E7500, GeForce GT240, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.i already memtested my computer for about 3hrs. it didnt get any errors. i also changed my previous video card (HD 5550) to GT240. im still experiencing blue screen unexpectedly.btw, my computer runs fine and i can use it like everyday. its just that, i dont wanna leave it unrepaired.
Random times throughout the day I seem to get a BSOD with the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is but I've uninstalled my video card drivers and ran Memtest, which passed - yet still have the issues.
I have had a very solid stable system since 2010, then I decided 6 GB of RAM and a 9800GT/GTX560Ti wasn't enough. I sold these parts away and replaced them with 24 GB of RAM and a GTX560Ti 448 edition. The instant I throw these new parts into my box I start getting the two different BSoD errors (the ones in the title). I have cleared everything of my previous overclocks with the upgraded components.System Specs: (bolded is what was introduced to the system which created the errors)Windows 7 Professional x647 930EVGA 132-BL-E758 (Motherboard)EVGA GTX560Ti 448 FTW EditionPatriot Extreme Performance (24 GB of RAM)If you need to know anything besides the core components that I have, let me know. Attached are the dump files.
The story so far:I have ran Memtest overnight on all the sticks of RAM and nothing comes up, it claims they're all good. I'm not sure how to test the graphics card, but what I can tell you is that I can login to Windows and within 5 minutes the BSoD shows itself. When in safe mode, (where I am right now), it runs more stable, but I have had it BSoD in here as well; It's just nowhere near as often. So, this makes me think its not hardware related and hopefully it's not because I have no other RAM sticks or graphics card to test with.My thoughts:I only used 3 of the 6 slots for RAM on the motherboard before this upgrade so initially I thought maybe I had a bad slot. I can't disprove that, but I still get the BSoD when using only 1 stick of RAM in a slot that was previously known as working. I uninstalled the graphics driver for my old GTX560Ti and downloaded the latest driver for my new graphics card and still get a BSoD.
I get this bsod occaisonally at random times - i just did a fresh install of Windows x64 Ultimate like two or three days ago and it is still happening.When i look at the Bluescreenviewer application it mentions that ntoskrnl.exe has something to do with it. How do i fix this??
I keep getting BSOD's with three of them being 0x0000001e and one being 0x0000000A. I'm not sure whats wrong, as the system was running fine before. I have included the four dumps

Been having random BSOD for the past week or so. Started on Sunday (11-27-11),where I had come back to my machine and it had been restarted... after logging in, find out that it was a BSOD. I then proceded to have 3 different BSOD events on Monday, which led me to perform a memtest on Tuesday morning to see if my memory was bad. After 2 full passes (I know, not a full 8), it didn't seem to be that, so I went ahead and did a System Restore from a backup from roughly 2 weeks prior. This led to solid performance for the next week, until this morning (Monday, 12-5-11) when I had another. All BSOD events seemed to occur at random times, so I can't say they were triggered by a specific event to the best of my knowledge.
I had performed the BSOD dump collection and Performance Monitor Report on last monday as well as doing the BSOD dump collection today. Regretfully, I cannot get the Performance Monitor to stop running today, so hopefully just the dump collection will be enough.As for my computer components:- HP Elite 7000 MT machine- Windows 7 Ultimate x64- Not the version originally installed on system- Hardware is a little over a year and a half old- 64-bit OS (originally had x86) wasinstalled 13 months ago.- Only non-stock hardware would be an added harddrive (just a backup drive, no OS on it), and I added 4GB more RAM (alongside the original 4GB) back in January.
Computer is still under warranty (purchased in January) but after a couple months, the customer support hasn't been able to hone in on the problem(s), so I'm just attempting some research myself on the blue screen codes I'm getting. Yesterday the motherboard and both RAM sticks were swapped out and I ran the recovery disks, so the operating system is fresh as well. (Hard drive has also been replaced and one RAM stick was replaced previously too.) Didn't see the blue screen happen, just came back and the computer was off and when I turned it back on it went to the windows recovery screen. When I booted to Windows normally it gave me the error, then finished installing the updates.After the motherboard switchout, it automatically boots from the front USB ports first, despite the fact that I've gone into the BIOS and excluded everything from the boot order other than the hd and cd/dvd. (So it'll boot from my jump drive and say 'missing operating system' and I have to restart.) Not sure if it's relevant information, but figured I'd include it.
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM, reinstalled intel i3 2120, intel hd graphics 2000
I just bought a new Dell laptop 6 weeks ago. The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, Original Install, OEM.
About two weeks after purchasing the laptop Windows startup recovery would run every time I turned on the laptop. Just a few days ago the I started getting the BSOD after logging in to the desktop. If I try to start an application immediately after logging in, I won't get a BSOD. If I log in and leave the latptop unattended I get a BSOD.
I am trying to fix a computer for a relative, but cannot seem to figure out the cause of these BSOD's, they are frequent, with the computer running typically for less than 5 minutes before crashing out, once or twice for longer since I've received it. I removed expired versions of norton internet security and another norton program as well as a basic virus scan with malwarebytes. The laptop also passed a single full pass from memtest.
I am trying to re-install windows 7 home x64. I keep getting 0x0000000A after starting up disk. I can't even start up my PC ether. I would like to get my pictures on my HDD before install.
i have a fresh windows system and i noticed when i put my usb broadband dongle and connect to the internet with it, I always get a BSOD 0x0000000A after it connects dunno whats the problem.
I have many BSOD with this computer while playing games, watching video with VLC,using bittorrent client. It's a custom built configuration.The exact line on the bluescreen is STOP: 0x0000000A (0x92C46604,0x00000002,0x000000001,0x82c80002)
I've been expirementing intermittent crashes on my PC and was looking to get some ideas of what my be the underlying issue. From what is happening, my immediate thoughts are this is a hardware issue. I have re-installed windows, on top of a freshly formatted drive, and the problem persists.
I have a M2N68+ with a AMD AM3 215 CPU, and had all sorts of issues with CTD, and BSOD's, been pulling my hair out, finally got disgusted and pulled the RAM out and checked the QVL list and it wasn't on there, as a word of warning, if you are having problems with the stability of the system, check the QVL list and see if you have the same problem. BTW my Gigabyte board runs rock solid no matter what memory I use, this is the last ASUS MB I'll be getting for a long time.
I have a compaq presario v2000. For the most part, my laptop screen says nothing like 'windows is non genuine', but there are some times when it does. The funny thing is , when I go to start, right click 'computer', click properties and see the computer information screen, the bottom part of that screen eventually says windows is activated, and after that the 'windows is not genuine message on the desktop goes away to reappear at a later date, maybe two or three days later
I built my system about 2 years ago and I've done my research and ran the memtest and stress tests and they all passed. But, I still get BSODs and it seems very random, if I'm listening to music, playing games, or just surf the net I get a BSOD now and then. It happens once every month but in the past week it crashed multiple times so I'm at my wits end.
I'm rather new to Windows 7 but I've done my fair share of installing versions of XP and Vista to my machines and I've never run into this issue.
I have a Dell XPS M1330 computer with 3GB ram. I chose to install the 32 version of Windows 7 Pro from Vista Home. Everything, including Aero was confirmed would work when I ran the upgrade advisor. I did a clean installation after backing up all my files and loaded the most current drivers from the Dell website that were applicable to my serial number.
My problem is that when the OS is shut down or restarted PROPERLY, some drivers don't load properly and I'm stuck with a frozen home screen. I definatly know that my trackpad and video drivers aren't loading because the cursor will not move and the screen resorts to the lowest resolution possible.
However, if I do a hard re-boot by pressing and holding the power button, effectively triggering my safe-mode prompts, everything loads properly. It seems VERY strage to me that this would happen - I would expect it to either work or fail - not a combination of both!
I'm just curious if this is something anyone else has come accross - or if I should call Dell and make sure the drivers are current for 7 and try re-installing everything.
I'm experiencing intermittent monitor black outs which last for about 3 seconds before the monitor comes back to life. They occur randomly and I've got no idea what is causing them. It has only started happening since I switched to HDMI from DVI. I'm using an Nvidia video card and a BENQ monitor.
I wanted to hop on the SSD band wagon a few months ago so I grabbed a 64GB SSD down my local store.I'm pleased with the fast boot times and applications like Photoshop (which always used to take 10-15 seconds to open), which now open within a second.I have been having an annoying issue though since the purchase which has got me considering going back to my old drive. I have formatted and reinstalled windows and experienced the issue basically within the first few hours of the format, so i assume its the drive. Below are a few things I experience...
*I will be navigating directories and exploring files when all of a sudden the hour glass will appear and make me wait for 5-10 seconds before allowing me to resume doing what I was doing. *This happens in all windows applications like firefox (while browsing webpages) or within photoshop while navigating in application menus. *sometimes the application or windows menu will hang for a couple of seconds.. sometimes 30 seconds ! *I never experience any actual application crashes.. just 'hanging' *If I ctrl+alt+del .. nothing happens UNTIL the computer decides it wants to 'wake up'. *If I continue to do things while the computer is hanging, when it 'wakes up'.. it will 'fast forward' many of the actions I did while it was hanging (if that makes sense). It does this Intermittently.. sometimes I have a good hour.. sometimes it can be an issue for a few hours etc.
In Media Center when playing a DVD about every 5 minutes the video will hang for a second and then go into slow motion and then catch up with the audio.
Its terribly annoying. If you know the answer, please share.
I have a HP 7680n (core 2 duo/2GB ram) with a kworld ATSC tuner and a 256MB Asus (ATI) video card using HDMI out.
I have a Sony with win 7 64-bit and 4 gigs of ram. About a month ago I started to notice my computer running slower. When I checked windows task manager (performance) it was using 3.5 gigs of my memory. I restarted the computer and it went down to 1.5. I have on occasion had to restart twice to get the memory down. I have run virus checks and reg cleaner but it still occurs.
Having an issue with intermittent BSOD with no common activity. Decided to turn blue during idle, surfing the web and playing games. I am not over clocking but i do have the RAM set to what OCZ recommended, DRAM frequency to 1333Mhz, CPU/NB voltage to 1.2v, DRAM Voltage 1.65v, DRAM timings to 9-9-9-20. Currents set up is as follows.
