HI, I've been having this problem for quite some time now. I get IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL stop message every now and then, usually when extracting/unpacking data in command prompt... some game rips packs are using this method but not just them.

This is minidump from most recent BSOD i got:

ht*p://w*w.mediafire.com/?amd2520imes

(change * for t and w)

If you could give me ANY hint regarding my problem, I would be very grateful.

Alright, I filled my profile a bit, read the topics you posted and attached a HJT log. Thanks for nice introductory post, Daveskater.

No problem, mate :)

You can have HJT fix these entries because they are deactivated:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

O9 - Extra button: ICQ Lite - {B863453A-26C3-4e1f-A54D-A2CD196348E9} - C:\Program Files\ICQLite\ICQLite.exe (file missing)

O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: ICQ Lite - {B863453A-26C3-4e1f-A54D-A2CD196348E9} - C:\Program Files\ICQLite\ICQLite.exe (file missing)

O23 - Service: MySQL - Unknown owner - C:\Program.exe (file missing)

They're the only bad things in your HJT log however I would like to see a minidump.

If you could go to C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and put about 4 or 5 of your latest ones into a zip file and upload them as an attachment to a new reply in this thread then I will look through them for you :)

Two of your minidumps (12/11/07 and 12/04/07-2) say this:

Probably caused by: nv4_mini.sys
The process NVIDIA Compatible Windows 2000 Miniport Driver, Version belongs to the software nv by NVIDIA Corporation.

More info here (http://www.file.net/process/nv4_mini.sys.html)

Go to the nVidia website (http://www.nvidia.com/) and download the latest graphics drivers for your OS and card, then see how it goes :)


And 3 of your minidumps (12/09/07, 12/05/07 and 12/04/07-1) say this:

Probably caused by: ntoskrnl.exe
Process Name: Microsoft Boot Up Kernel
More info here (http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ntoskrnl/)

All I can think of for this error is to do a Windows repair install, and presumably you would be getting BSOD's during boot up at some point.
