BSOD's on Windows 7 - Got dumps

[Jacckk]

I've recently been getting BSOD's for IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

I have tried last known good configuration, system restore and tried deleting recent programs. I have included dumps if you could possibly look at them and check it would of be much help. The BSOD has not occurred in Safe Mode bar 1 time upon logging into my user.

Im running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1545.

The overall conclusion from the dump files is that you have a bad driver or faulty/incompatible software. Run through this guide to checck the drivers in your system.

Driver Verifier

Click start, type verifier into the search box and it will appear in the box above, click on it and the Verifier will open.

Select "Create Standard Settings" click next.

Select "Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer"

You will then get a list of all the drivers, click finish and restart the computer.

You will probably get a BSOD straight away and it will identify a driver.

If you are absolutely certain that the driver is OK you can go back into the Verifier and remove this driver from the list.

To turn off the Verifier, go back to the first screen and click "Delete Existing Settings" click finish.

Did you install any new hardware or software just before the crashes started?

What anti virus are you using and do you use a third party firewall?


If the driver verifier comes up clean then follow this guide to test your memory.

Power off the PC and remove the mains connection, always touch the metal of the case with your hands to avoid any static electricity from causing component damage. (On laptops ALWAYS remove the battery before removing or replacing memory modules). Remove all your memory modules. Clean the contacts with a soft rubber (up and down not from end to end) then insert just one module and reboot to test for any change in performance. Repeat this for every module one at a time. Obviously if you only have one module this cannot be done, but you should still remove and clean the module and reseat it and test.

If you only have one stick download this to test it. http://www.memtest.org/

You need to scroll down the page until you see the three blue screenshots. Just below is the list of downloads for Memtest86+ V4.10. Click on Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)and save to your desktop, When the download is complete right click the file and select Extract Here and burn the image to a CD. In windows 7 right click the extracted file, select Open With, then select Windows Disc Image Burning Tool then follow the prompts. For all other versions of windows (if you do not have an ISO burner) download this free software. http://www.isoimageburner.com/

Boot the PC into the Bios setup and set the CD/DVD drive to 1st in the boot sequence. Insert the disk in the drive then reboot and the disc will load into dos. Leave the test to run through at least 5 cycles.

The memtest will not be 100% accurate but should easily detect any major faults.
