BSOD - Blue Screen - IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error
Dec 21, 2007
I've been having BSODs since I built my system nine months ago, and I'm at a complete loss as to what's wrong. Just recently I RMA'd my motherboard as a last-ditch attempt at a fix because I couldn't find anything wrong. Every blue screen is an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. My device drivers are all up to date. My BIOS is up to date. I've run about 20 memtests and all come back clean. I've run diagnostics on my hard drives and all come back clean.
I got my motherboard back from the manufacturer in the beginning of December. My first blue screen after that was yesterday, after I used Registry Booster to clean my registry. I restored the files since I'd hoped that I'd removed something accidentally. I just received a second one about a half hour ago. I reset, and the system hung when Windows was trying to load. I reset again, got the message that Windows didn't start normally and the system hung at the 27 second countdown to choose how to load Windows. I did a hard shut down, booted, and it appeared to boot normally. .........

ok my problem. at random times i get blue screen. sometimes blank and sometimes error codes. one error code i took a picture of on my phone says irql_not_less_or_equal top: 0x000000000000a then does a physical memory dump. i think this is common with alot of blue screen errors although im not to sure. there is no pattern to this at all. it happens at total random times. sometimes when running cpu for awhile and sometimes right at rebot before windows. usually when it does happen it happens alot. and when it dosnt happen it dosnt do it at all untill next rebot. when it does happen and i rebot i hear my hard drive click when it comes to the S.M.A.R.T. capable but disabled part. made me think i had a bad hard drive. so i tried reinstalling windows to make some partitions. when i boot totaly from xp cd i get blue screen after it loads Setup files and says Setup is loading windows. get this everytime. once i have got to where it states Press enter to install windows xp but my cpu froze. so i tried installing windows onto my rather new 100 gig hd that i have never had any problems with and the exact thing happens. Things i have done to try and resolve this issue other than what i stated above are changing ide cables to new and taking out 1 stick of ram at a time to see if maby one of them could have gone bad. still same results.

I have been looking ever where for an answer to this. Once in a while I get a BSOD it says IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0X0000000A (0X00000000, 0X000000FF, 0X000000, 0X806E2EA0) I am not to sure what to do about this. Also ever time I restart or shut down my computer just after I click either one I get Stop Error: 0x000000C4 (0x00000060, 0x00000064, 0x00000000, 0x00000001)

Im getting the following error messages on a very frequent BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL If this is the first timeyou've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Setup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

I get the following BSOD driver_irql_not_less_or_equal Stop 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000008, 0x00000000) Interestingly tho, I only get it when launching l4d (left 4 dead) randomly. I normally have virtual memory disabled but I enabled it and launched/exited l4d about 25 times before I got it to blue screen and get a dump file. Otherwise my computer is solid. Running windows xp sp3 with all the latest patches, vira/malware free. Asus P5k-deluxe with q6600, 2gb crucial memory.
I already run memtest86 for 16+ hours. no errors, prime95 torture test for 12 hours no errors. As stated this only happens immediately after i launch l4d, if it doesn't blue screen on startup. it runs fine. I ran dumpchk to try and get an idea of what driver is causing the crash, but I really have no idea what to look for in the output. I also play css, which uses the same game engine as l4d and never have any problems with it. I attached my dump file, any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to fix a friends notebook but every time I turn on the computer it takes me to the safe mode selection and which ever mode I select, it starts loading but breaks out to the blue screen with the following error: 0x001902030x8e572b80xc00001020x00000000. I had this machine about a month ago and after checking the Hd and cleaning it I uninstalled Norton security and installed avira. I took it back to him and I thought everything was OK but he said he had put it in a closet for a couple of weeks and when he tried to turn it on it stopped on the Blue screen every time. I would run chkdsk /f if I could get to the CMD prompt but can never get past this error. 0x001902030x8e572b80xc00001020x00000000 Anyone have any advice for me. I don't have his XP disk but can probably get it if I need to.

Computer boots to blue screen after showing Windows splash screen and then immediately restarts. Windows Stop code 0X0000007E (0X80000003, 0X805C370C, 0XBACCB2B4, 0XBACCAFB0). Computer will not boot in safe mode or last known good configuration. I have decided that I will need to reload windows but have several very important files on hard drive that I need to get off first. As it stands, I have 2.5" drive loaded into external hard drive enclosure. Only problem is that 2.5" drive has drive letter of C: like every other computer I have in my house. Is there anyway to change this letter to view files via usb enclosure? Any way to change drive path of C: volume on any other computer?

An app was installed, and right after, a BSOD came up with the following error message: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

Man, my computer for the last two weeks have been crashing like an emo. I mean, when I play GTA: San Adreas, in 20 minutes, I get a BSOD with a stop error. When I put hardware acceleration to full, in a half an hour, I get a BSOD with a similar error. Believe me, I got three kinds of errors, and some were from different time. I believe the problem either came from the either the PSU, new 512 mb of ram, old 512, CPU, system board, or the graphic card. I'll try to post the error as best as I can. So, is there a solution to this?
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) This is one of them, but there another one with KMODE that I can't seem to remember. Also, sometimes, after it tries to recover from a serious error, the computer shuts down during the bootup before I can choose which XP version I can choose.
Also, I hate to say this, but I'm not using a legit windows copy sp1, but I have updated to sp2.

i had XP 2008 virus/spyware, which I think I managed to get rid of with Malwarebytes' Anti Malware and System Mechanic 7. Now I have a new problem. After receiving a recent download from microsoft, upon restarting, I get the blue screen of death with this message; STOP: C000021a (Fatal System Error) The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000)
I can't get anywhere into Windows, I've done F2, F8, F12, everything I could think of without risking more damage. I've booted from the system mechanic CD with the Hard Drive recovery, and while it said it found and fixed a problem, it didn't fix this one.

Encountered a Blue Screen of Death error. The error stated that I should run Chkdsk and then proceeds to restart and bring me to the Windows boot selection screen (safe mode, last known good configuration, normally). No matter which choice I pick, it always leads to the BSOD then restarts. Since this is getting me nowhere fast, I want to just format and reinstall windows. I do not have my recovery CDs, and when I enter the BIOS to change the boot sequence I cannot change it so the CD drive is above the hard drive in priority. The reason it gives me in the bios is that "All items on this menu cannot be modified in user mode. If any items require changes, please consult your system supervisor. Any ideas on how I can boot off the cd and reinstall windows from scratch?

Toshiba Satellite running on windows XP
When I start the computer, it asks if for the choice of Safe Mode, w/ Networking, w/Command Prompt or Normally.
I've tried them all and if I try it normally, it won't get past the XP loading screen. It's loading and then it flashes a blue screen for a second and then restarts the computer again.
I tried pressing F8 at boot and selected 'Disable automatic restart on system failure' and this is what I get
STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x83306788, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
I even tried using this http://forums.techguy.org/6669592-post28.html to get to chkdsk At boot, F12, chose CD/DVD, but still nothing, I even tried disabling boot from +HDD, FDD and LAN from the bios setup menu to see if it works and this is what I got, it just keeps going on and on unless I enable boot from +HDD

I couldnt start up windows. It would hang at the windows loading screen and go no further. So I was told to try a repair-install. And thats where even more trouble has started. So I started to repair-install. During the Windows Install setup, it gets almost to the point of being completed, but gave me a blue screen error STOP message at around the "18 minutes left" mark. During "Registering components". It would do this every time at the same spot. So I searched a bit about how to solve the problem. One suggestion I found on the interwebs was to try it with only one stick of ram installed, I have four overall at 2gb. So I tried that, next time I boot up to the comp, it loads up the bios, and then goes to the black windows loading screen with the loading bar, then starts with a blue screen saying "Setup is being restarted" So I figure its restarting my windows installation since it never was completed, after that message, the screen goes black with a cursor, and stays that way forever. I immediately put all the ram back in, and no luck, same thing. I tested each individual ram stick, same thing, just goes black. So now, I can't even seem to re-install windows. Did my hard drive just crap out? Some hardware issue? Im already thinking about buying a new fresh hard drive, installing windows on there, and just moving all my files from the old hard drive over to the new one. Though that would be a pain, I really want to save my current drive! And all the data on it.

I have seen a similar problem posted previously on this forum. But after reading it i think this is a different problem, so, here goes: I recently bought a new graphic card: Radeon all-in-wonder x1800xl. Installed it on a clean system (did a reformat before i installed). The problem occurs after usually 30-60 minutes of gaming (so far with oblivion, black & white 2). The game freezes for about 30 sec and then goes into blue-screen mode.
The message is as follows:
Kernel-Data-inpage-error stop error screen
then there are a lot of numbers etc.
I have sometimes noticed a slight change in fan noise prior to freeze (speeding up)
After reebot everything's back to normal.........

Recently we've been getting "Blue Screen Errors" on our Windows XP. The most common one is called "Blue Screen error caused by a device or driver." Since they mention a likely hardware or software problem, I suspect our computer screen or speakers might be to blame. A couple months ago, we hooked up a screen and speakers from different brands. I think the screen's brand name is Westinghouse and the model number is LCM-17v8, and I think the speakers brand name is The Digital Experience inc., Model number gem 2.0 USB.
We've also gotten other error messages along with this one, such as "Address a problem with your computer", also strongly suggesting a problem with hardware, and "Troubleshoot a problem with your audio software". Is it possible that the screen or speakers may be incompatible with the computer, resulting in these errors, or would it be something else?

The Driver software of the Modem stops responding. I tried to unplug the network cable and re attaching it, but nothing happens.... The System will not shutdown either.

I've recently put together a PC and for the first 3 weeks it was running perfectly. Then in the past week, it started crashing completely randomly it seems. No error messages or blue screens, it just auto restarts.
On reboot, it has an error log (the following are 5 examples out of about 10 crashes so far)
Ex 1
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 c0384dc0, parameter3 ebf4e4ec, parameter4 00000000.
(This occurred when I was finishing an installation of iTunes..don't know if that's of significance?)
Ex 2
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 c038d724, parameter3 ecb494ec, parameter4 00000000.
Ex 3
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 804e7fc2, parameter3 ec2dc4e4, parameter4 00000000.
Ex 4
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 c038c2f4, parameter3 ec94189c, parameter4 00000000.
Ex 5
Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 804e7fc2, parameter3 ec4da4e4, parameter4 00000000.
I've not installed any new hardware in the last week nor any major programs. I've got no spyware (according to spybot). Norton windoctor reported a missing msvcr80.dll (i realise i can't just add this .dll back into my system...plus I'm told it's a necessary .dll for office 2007 and .NET 2.0)
Any idea what my problems could be??

I have XP Media Center on my desktop and got a BSOD the other day. Unfortunately, I didn't copy the error code on the BSOD down. Now, whenever I try to open IE or iTunes or just about any program, the cursor just stays in the 'working' mode and the computer never does anything else. I can't even restart it via the Start menu. I have tried to do a system restore, but the pc freezes just when I click on 'next' to start the restore. I've even tried the system restore in safe mode with command prompts and got the same result.
I ran Spybot, Ad Aware and AVG in safe mode, but they did not pick up anything. Not sure if that is relevant to my problem... Is there any way I can force the BSOD so I can get an error code? Does anyone have any idea what might be causing my problems?

I was away for about 2 weeks and left my computer on. Judging by the
virus check log, on the 30th June my computer crashed out. When I
returned I rebooted and set it up so that it went to the BSOD to give
me an idea what was happening.
In the last 3 days I've had about a dozen crashes. The first few went
to BSOD with various messages (page_fault_in_nonpaged_area,
driver_irql_not_less_or_equal, etc.) I looked up the message but
nothing applies, since the computer was untouched during my absence.
I thought maybe memory was corrupt - I have 3X 512MB slots filled. I've
used each memory block in turn and each time I've experienced a crash,
so I'm not sure about that any more - can all 3 be corrupted?!?
Plus I'm now crashing straight to total death now (black screen,
unresponsive, tho computer-power light still on) rather than BSOD. The
crashes come irregularly - sometimes in 5 mins sometimes in a couple of
hours. They "kind of" correspond with heavy CPU load but not always.
