*Edit* Minidumps included in second post
My computer has been crashing lately, and I have been told this was the best place to go for help with something like this...
-The blue screen that pops up says this
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
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 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 Sage Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000014, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xEE53D26C)
*** ar5211.sys – Address EE52D26C base at EE52F000, Date Stamp 3fe29525
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
-->so basically I was wondering what this meant, and if there was anything I could do. I figured that it was probably a faulty driver, but I cannot figure out what it is for the life of me...thanks in advance (because I have no clue what is going on myself)
