Seeking Help

[360addict]

Hey guys, Hows it going? I've been getting various BSODs and its driving me insane. I've been getting that IRQ not less or equal and others. At first I thought it was my memory so I went ahead and did a memtest and it didnt have any errors. I still went ahead and bought a 1 gig mem. Next I perform a hard disk check for errors and it still didnt resolve anything, I then put a new hard drive that I had laying around. Still getting BSODs.

I attached some Minidumps from the past few days. I dont have 120 alcohol or daemon tools install. I reinstall windows a milli times, even uprgraded to vista once and still. Im back on Windows XP pro.


Heres my summary report from Everest, just in case its needed

I cannot open your zip file but I have some questions:

Are these BSODs you are getting continual/cyclical going around and around and around or can you use the system for some period of time and then it crashes?

I fixed a computer with a virus on it that was simulating BSOD and cyclical reboots but when we pressed the ESC button it would stop. After a short period of inactivity the BSOD and "reboots" would resume. The error messages in the blue screen of death were often none I had ever seen either.

Can you get the system into safe mode and run malware scans?

im pretty sure its not malware on my computer, ive constantly do virus scans on my comp, even on safe mode. Now i get the BSOD randomly, like sometimes right after I boot my computer up, or sometimes when i just leave the comp alone and do nothing it comes up. Just weird.

P.S. Is there a problem with my zip? is it corrupt or something?

 

[geekygirl63]

Yes, I download and save the zip and it tells me it doesn't appear to be a valid archive file. I am using Windows XP Pro system to save and unzip on. Can you rezip and repost so I can take a look at it? thanks
Tracy

 

[360addict]

I used Winzip this time to zip it up, Let me know.

 

[geekygirl63]

Still can't read the zip. Same result as before. Not sure what the issue is and I am using different computer and different OS now with same result. Can you give me a list of the more frequent BSOD messages you are getting? Just the ones like IRQ_NT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO I don't need the number codes yet.

 

[360addict]

Hmmm thats so weird, I can open up the zip fine from my comp...

anyways I just finished getting about 10 more BSODS in the past few hours. 1 of them included win32k.sys and another with page_fault_in_non paged_area or something like that...


maybe you'll have better luck with these minidumps..

Please update all your Manufacture drivers
Also complete all Windows Service Pack (security) updates

 

[geekygirl63]

If you have an opportunity and havent done it, back up your hard drive (your critical files/anything you don't want to lose).

Page_Fault_in_Non_Paged_Area - This is caused when a hardware driver or system service requested data that was not in memory. The cause may be a defective physical memory or incompatible software, especially remote control and antivirus programs.....

Can you tell me what stop error was associated with win32k.sys if any?

The reason I suggest backing up your data at this point is that it seems like your errors are becoming more frequent. Again I also suggest booting into safe mode and running the 8 step malware removal process here on the forums. I know you said you are running scans and your system is clean but what programs are you using for proteciton. Write back and i will respond in the morning. I am at the gym at 5am.

And what Kim said! Wouldn't hurt to open your case and make sure everything is seated properly as well.

Night all.
