DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

stop: 0x0000000D1 (0X000000000000004C, 0X00000000000000002, 0X0000000000000001, 0XFFFFFADF5C6C91CE)

nvata64.sys - Address FFFFFADF5C6C91CE base at FFFFFADF6C6C2000

keep getting that bsod at random times. i assume the file causing the problem is the nvata.sys. what is that file? how do i go about fixing this so i don't get a fatal bsod and commit genocide?

It's part of your nForce chipset driver (motherboard driver), NOT nVidia video driver.
Update/reinstall chipset driver.

thanks a bunch. downloaded the latest drivers from nvidia, so i'll see how it plays out.

Don't forget to let us know

i'm gonna format my drive and do a fresh install, with updated drivers and such. getting my new pc case tomorrow, so it'll be like a brand new pc  but i was wondering...if the problem persists, does this mean i need a new mobo? i've been contemplating getting a new one anyway because epox was bought out by another company and they don't seem to be making updates for my board.

if the problem persists

We'll worry then. Take it one step at a time

[midnightfire]

gotcha. just finished installing windows and the mb drivers, don't seem to be having problems. i'll post back once the .net framework is updated and such.
