Daily BSOD, ntoskrnl.exe driver fault? Hey guys, Recently got my new computer, and it is amazing! Only problem is that 2 or 3 times a day i get a BSOD...
I checked the Minidump files and it's saying something about VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT and ntoskrnl.exe driver fault.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000000000000002b, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff80002a6ddaa, address which referenced memory

The first one was caused by your video driver causing a memory exception.
I suspect the same for the others
I would re-install the video driver
When upgrading your graphic driver you MUST remove all traces of the current driver. In order to do that we recommend using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper
When it is removed then download and install the fresh copy.
And I would test the memory
Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Thanks, I've used that program to delete most of the old Video Driver files (Although there was 3 or 4 that couldn't be deleted) But i deleted 98% of the files, and i have reinstalled the drivers.
Hopefully it works, thanks for the help!! <3 | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Daily BSOD, ntoskrnl.exe driver fault? problems? All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:04 AM. | |
