Blue Screen pops up saying, "A problem has been detected and windows
has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Page fault in
non-paged area." It's done this about three times. The other times
it mentioned "Driver_IR_QL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" Another time it
mentioned memory management. What can I do to stop this from
happening?
The "DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" most often indicates a problem with a
particular driver. Have you added any hardware or updated any drivers
lately? What changed between the time things worked and the time they
didn't? Can you boot Last Known Good Configuration?
It might also be a good idea to test your RAM and/or the hard drive in
case you're having a hardware issue. Here are some generic
troubleshooting steps for hardware:
1) open the computer and run it open, cleaning out all dust bunnies and
observing all fans (overheating will cause system freezing); 2) test
the RAM - I like Memtest86 from
www.memtest86.com - let the test run
for an extended (like overnight) period of time - unless errors are
seen immediately; 3) test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility from
the mftr.; 4) the power supply may be going bad or be inadequate for
the devices you have in the system; 5) test the motherboard with
something like TuffTest from
www.tufftest.com. Testing hardware
failures often involves swapping out suspected parts with known-good
parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are uncomfortable
opening your computer, take the machine to a good local computer repair
shop (not a CompUSA or Best Buy type of store).
Post back with more information about your system if you need more help.
Good luck,
