Windows 7: Bsod - irql_not_less_or_equal

Hail · 06 Mar 2011

Fixed

Maguscreed · 06 Mar 2011

I have a feeling AVAST! is causing your troubles.
It's been known to go a bit loopy on some machines with win 7.
You may remove it and use Microsoft Security Essentials for the time being.
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Debugger data follows.

Code:

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: 00000016, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000000, 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: 82e5ba5b, address which referenced memory

I would also suggest updating to newer cd/dvd burning software as the software you have doesn't have proper win 7 support.

Did both and I still get BSOD

The only thing I have left for you is to go to nvidia.com and update your chipset drivers. I don't really see anything jumping out at me here.

Hail · 07 Mar 2011

whats a chipset driver?

Hail · 07 Mar 2011

And how do I update that?

Maguscreed · 07 Mar 2011

I'll need the exact model of your compaq to figure out what motherboard it uses.

Compaq Presario PC

Original Windows Vista Home Basic - I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium

ugh problem with that they aren't supporting nforce 4 series boards for win 7 with drivers.

This is very likely the source of your problem though as it means windows is currently using outdated vista drivers just to make your system work.

Hail · 07 Mar 2011

So, take my graphics system out of my computer? ...I did disable it and I still got BSOD...but do i need to take it out?
