Driver IRQL Not Less an Eaqual!!

[RuffRider]

Problem: Regardless of it being XP Pro or Vista Ultimate I am using at the
time then at anytime in the day I get the dreaded blue screen and the Driver
IRQL not less than equal nonsense.
Exact same bunch of numbers and zeros every time.
STOP 0x000000D1 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002,
0x0000000000000008, 0x0000000000000000
Never changes, always the exact same.
Must be something common to XP Pro and Vista to be making it happen.... but
what?

Hardware problem, or same driver used in XP and Vista.

IRQL Not Less an Equal usually means a incompatible driver or missing driver.

You can use the verifier to check which driver is in question

Start\Run\verifier

Have you installed any new equipment on your system around the time this
began. This often has something to do with a network driver.

Test your RAM. On startup hit F9 then TAB to Memory Diagnostic tool.
It will take about 5 mins, worth a shot.

No new hardware installed.....
Tested ram and no problem
Only things changed was Nvidia drivers for Graphics card and motherboard.

Should have shown as Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal............

 

[Ridge Runner]

I keep getting the same problem..................
Driver IRQL Not Less Or Equal with the same Stop error.
My pc also has had the drive reformatted and the standard drivers for
motherboard, sound card and graphics card installed just as they were before
the issue started.
No new drivers for anything and it happens after the pc has been in use for
6 or seven hours or so.
Sometimes it happens when I go to certain websites.

Ran verifier, did not cause a blue screen but did make my soundcard act
up(screeching sound)

 

[John Barnes]

Are you using the network drivers on the MOBO?

No new hardware installed.....
Tested ram and no problem

It's Kaspersky Internet Security causing the problem...........

I see you said it was KIS causing the issue, I have the exact same problem at
the moment but with KAV and Vista x64 on a brand new computer, could you
elaborate on what you did to fix the BSOD issue


thanks

It's Kaspersky Internet Security causing the problem...........

 

[Juan]

so you removed KIS completely from the system and went with a different AV
solutions then?

thanks
