How can i find where the problem lies when I get this blue screen? It is SO frustraiting that sometimes windows just closes and I get this message in a blue screen.

Does anyone have the same problem, or does anyone know how I can find what causes it or how to fix it!

Thanx in advance.

i found description of the problem:
Quote:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL stop errors are caused by software not hardware. When Windows is in the middle of scheduling an execution thread, it puts the processor at an Interrupt ReQuest Level (or IRQL) of ‘Dispatch’. This blocks further software interrupts from the scheduler until the process is complete, and no one is allowed to do anything that requires the scheduler. Unfortunately, accessing a memory address in virtual memory is such an activity, because when a process generates a VM page fault, it is usually suspended while the slow hard disk gets around to delivering the requested page. The upshot of this is that drivers (and everything else but especially drivers) are restricted to the contents of physical memory while the IRQL is at dispatch. If anything breaks this rule (say because a corrupted pointer tries to access a random memory address), XP flings up the blue screen of death.

The easy answer is that you have a driver problem somewhere so the easiest way is to download any new drivers for the most likely culprit the Video Card and install them. This Web Site should be listed with the Video Cards Book but failing that you can go the Makers site and then follow the links to get the latest driver from there.


try to update all drivers (motherboard,video.... etc.)
see if it will help Wink
btw maybe memory problem

Usually This is like a memory issue (Well it was for me Smile )... Try get some ram like OCZ or Corsair Very Happy

Or maybe even you PSU is not giving enough power out??... I remember reading somewhere that someone was trying to play HL2 or something and kept getting blue screen and it turned out it was the PSU not giving out enough power.

driver irq less or equal used to be a really common problem caused by shared IRQ's which I think may have died down because of ACPI

if you right click My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View Resources by Connection then look at the IRQ list and see if anything is sharing an IRQ if so that'll be the likely culprit

to stop sharing IRQ's you will most likely have to find out what slots on your motherboard are sharing an IRQ, eg, slot 2 could share an IRQ with the IDE chipset, and try to use different slots accordingly. Slots 4 & 5 are usually the best to go for

then of course to free up some IRQ's you can disable any unused com (serial) ports in BIOS, as well as the parallel port

updating drivers may often help as it can solve imcompatabilities, however it's best to have your cards in an unshared slot and to disable unused ports anyway
