FunDa 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 Hi ,My computer AMD64 256mb RAM / 80GB HDD / Windows XP Professionalrecently started showing a blue screen while starting .. A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to your computer . IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL(blah blah blah ... )Technical Information:*** STOP: 0x0000000A (oxFB07D354, ox000000FF, ox00000001, ox804E2E41) Initially, if I restarted it would not come the next time. It used to come only randomly. But later it started coming more often, and now it did not start for quite a few times consecutively.Anybody knows what this is and how to solve it ?(Other than formatting ...)Please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markymark2 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 HI,Without seeing the full statement I would suggest that this is probably a hardware error of some sort..haev you installed something new recently? updated a driver recently?Or it could be a dreaded memory problem;(Paste the full msg your getting into here and I will track down what the problem is..

yordan 10 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 There are two ways of thinking.1) You suppose that it's a software problem. Let's see if it's a real software problem. Try to boot several times from a ms-dos disquette, or on a Knoppix Linux CD. If you have no problem with ms-dos or with Knoppix, this means that your Windows has a problem and has to be repaired (several solutions, we will see furtherly).2) Let's suppose there is a hardware problem. I suspect a newly added device which really has a bad IRQ.Then, I would suggest to open the box, and remove everything not mandatory(only leave the disks, CD's, keyboard, video adapter and that's all). Try powering up several times.If you have no problem with the vary basic configuration, add one device (let's say Ethernet adapter) and try again. If this still works, add another adapter (let's say the USB mouse). and try again. Untill you see the problem ocuring again, then remove the last added device, you found the faulty device.

toby 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2006 I've had that error three times tonight, but I've been on now about 15 minutes fine. I havn't added anything reccently, but I'll probably do a virus scan overnight. Also, I couldn't seem to get the option to boot into Safe Mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 it seems like it IS a hardware failure.According to this post, it says that it is commonly caused by overheating hardware or crappy RAM: http://www.tweaksforgeeks.com/irql_not_less_or_equal/This post is from Microsoft Technet about every single BSOD errors you might have: The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is caused by a buggy device driver or an actual hardware conflict. If you've recently added new hardware to your system, try removing it and see if the error goes away. Likewise, if you've recently loaded a new device driver, you might try using ERD Commander Professional Edition, by Winternals Software, to temporarily disable the new driver and see if the problem goes away. xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) Yeah, I left the computer on overnight to do a virus scan and my mum could smell very faint burning smell, and it only has 384mb RAM. Is the best option to personally clean out the fan? Or to buy a RAM stick?Bugger, thanks. Edited October 14, 2006 by toby (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 (edited) check that your fan isn't clogged by dust, make sure your PSW and the rest of your chassis have good ventilation and most of all, be sure to know where the burning is coming from.Also, check that your RAM are exactly the same. For example, don't put a PC2100 RAM with a PC3200!!!xboxrulz Edited October 14, 2006 by xboxrulz (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark101 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) I had the exact same problem with my AMD 64 system, right down to the faint burning smell. It used to be an intermittent issue but is now consistent. I have tried removing everything except PSU, HD, MOBO\CPU, and Video Card..still occurs.Back when it was intermittent I ran an extended Windows Memory Diag and it found no problems. In the BIOS it shows CPU temp as 41 C. Edited June 27, 2007 by mark101 (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 my website has something on this problem, I hope it can help: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ 41C is normal. My P4 runs at 55C on heavy load and 35C when it's freshly booted after 10 hrs of rest. xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Impact 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2007 ^ I have encountered this error before. My problem started when I installed a software then immediately used it without restarting my PC. What's worse is my PC just restarts randomly. I disassembled my PC, cleaned up the peripherals (CPU fan, power supply, cards, etc) but I'm still getting the error. So I just uninstalled, re-installed then restarted my PC. Since then my PC worked fine. I think you should trace when the problem started. Most likely this problem is a result of newly installed hardware/software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 I had the same problem when I tried to connect 1 'SATA' & 1 'PATA' HDD in my system.First time it work, I accessed all the Hardrives @ the same time but after two or three re-boot... My system got hanged & the same problem occured with Blue screen. because of tht I lost my 5.1 Inbuilt audio output.==> The only solution for such problem is do not connect any such Hardware which is not supported by your motherbord...==> secondly try to update Your system Drivers frequently.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 2, 2007 I am getting this error msg too. 1st It can be because RAM isn't compatible with your Graphics card (yes thats possible) and all you need to do is to set the right voltage for RAM (if you manage to know to which value you must set it.)2nd Drivers (for your graphics card Bet you have ati or nvidia)3rd Here's link to an old tread it lists many possible thing you can do to stop it. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ CAREFULLY because not all errors are the same, so don't do something that you don't need to do. ex. Error IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL happens when trying to SHUT DOWN.-Sorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problem Blue Screen - irql_not_less_or_equal I just got this new laptop, dell 1520 inspiron, got it yesterday, it had vista home installed and I tried upgrading to ultimate, at first I had hell but I googles and found I had to change from ahcp to ata, that was minor. Now the problem I'm haveing is I get the BSOD everytime I turn on the laptop, with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error, it then restarts and boots up and works ok. On the second boot it works like brand new, but the having to wait for a second boot isn't very entertaining, can someone help please? -Charmz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
