    Help----irql not less or equal
    « on: October 28, 2008, 03:12:29 PM »
    you should prob..know i have

    win vista-32/86x ....3-1gig kingston (667)and 1 512(not sure) / a nvida 8800gts 336 ddr3/factality sound card/3.4 pentium D/775 chipset 965 mobo intel

    tracing my steps of what i did yesturday are

    1.enabled PAE/ disabled DEP or i think i did :/(for first time) now i get 3336 instead of the old 2xxx..(i didnt restart comp) the 512 doesnt show up now either??

    2. had some time so i decided to download anti viral software
    ( kaspersky)...after being plauged by AUPD.exe ,i ran it , and found a million virus's (over 1000)or so , i then quarintened and removed them..(did not reset comp still)

    3.then i left comp runnin all night downloading farcry2!!..i never leave my comp on all night!!..

    4. woke up in the mornin farcry2 was done..did NOT try to install it, comp was working fine,,i reset my comp.

    5..now i get BSOD irql not less or equal.., i can only open safe mode & safe mode command line nothing else works...

    WHAT I TRIED

    1.reversing DEP PAE setting i changed(still says 3336 for mem tho)
    2.i tried pulling mem sticks one at a time  to see if they were bad.(i dont know tho if thats how u test them)
    3.tried disableing nvida drivers from device manager(heard nvida drivers can casue this)
    4.removed kaspersk/ software i installed that day
    5.checked msconfig for abnormal start up properties
    6.reset  dip switch on mobo for bios

    nothin works ??, ive had same hardware for yr now with no changes, and never had this problem??

    tec...spec


    ***stop 0x0000000A (0x0000004C, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x823A4DAE)

    collecting data for crash dump
    intilizing disk for crash dump
    beggining dump of phy mem
    dumpin phy mem to disk 100
    dump complete

    recap

    screw what i tried cause i dont know if i did anything correclty should have never messed with PAE....what i want to know oviously is what do u do to fix it..i can fallow instructions and command codes....I havent had hardware changes in yr and comp has been fine till i  'downlaoded anti virius software kapsersky,removed a million virus's, messed with PAE, and left it on all night....

    now im sad...and no farcry 2... :'(

    It's normal. 32bit system, even with full 4GB of RAM installed, will only show/use 3GB+change.

    If you never used any AV program, and Kaspersky discovered millions of viruses, save yourself (and us) some time, and reinstall Windows.

      ok will do, i thought about doing that then someone told me, "no that wont work, thats a hardware/memory error" witch got me worried at first ,but,as i said ive never had a hardware conflict....so its gotta be software/drivers.  I have a feeling its from the anti-virus software drivers installed the day before conflicting with my never updated vista :D... & safe mode wont let me edit/delete drivers from system :( anyway like you said no use messing with a mess..im gonna re install os

       thanks again  ;D

      You're welcome :)
      However, two most common reasons for "irql not less or equal" error is overheating, or bad RAM.

        i get this when i have 2 gigs of ram in... i take one out its fine....

           i think... my mobo was causing one ram to overheat cause it would get really hot so i got a new mobo... if it works ill tell u!
