    BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and others on new install


    I experienced a variety of BSODs over the past year, all unresolved, so I finally wiped the whole thing clean, reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 64. And they're back. Most of them are DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, although a couple others have shown up as well. I've made sure I have up to date drivers for all hardware, the latest BIOS rev, etc. I have run memtest in the past with successful results after about 12 hours.

    I've tried with Norton 360, and with MSE, but both have crashed. The only fairly consistent condition seems to be that it is always when I am online, but then again, that is always. Sometimes it is just using a browser, sometimes while a bittorrent is downloading, etc. Firefox seemed to be a problem, so I switched to Chrome, which seems slightly better, but is also crashing.

    Specs:
    -Windows 7 x64
    -This is the second clean install
    -system is about 18 months old
    -OS reinstalled about a month ago

    AMD OverDrive (AODDriver2.sys) is either a stand-alone application, or a component of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center.
    Please uninstall the AMD OverDrive program.
    If it's the stand-alone app, uninstall it via Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program
    If it's in the AMD VISION Engine Control Center, you can uninstall it using the AMD uninstall tool (or uninstall the entire AMD VISION Engine Control Center application through Control Panel

    Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on Win7 systems due to the sptd.sys driver.
    Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ

    There is an older CD/DVD program that uses the afc.sys driver installed on your system. The driver dates from 2006 and is likely not compatible with Win7. Please uninstall this program.

    The memory dumps point at networking, so I'd suggest that you:
    - download fresh copies of your networking drivers (both wired and wireless if so equipped)
    - uninstall the current networking drivers from your system
    - install the freshly downloaded networking drivers
    - monitor for further BSOD's

    With you having done a clean install, I wouldn't be surprised to see further BSOD's
    If so, then please run Driver Verifier according to these instructions: http://www.carrona.org/verfier.html

    Thank you.
    Uninstalling Control Center got rid of AODDriver2.sys, and afc.sys seems to be gone after uninstalling DaemonTools as well. Do you have any recommendations for a stable iso mounting tool? MagicDisk seemed to cause problems as well, and I was told that DT would be stable.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the networking drivers, so I'll see how things go from here.
    Thanks again!

    I use Virtual Clone drive - but haven't used it very much so I can't tell if it's effective or not.

    Once we have the system stable again, then try Daemon Tools again. If it BSOD's on you, then you can't continue using it. If it doesn't, then it's "Happy Trails to youuuuuuuu!"

    Everything seemed to be running fine since reinstalling the network drivers, and I ran Driver Verifier for an afternoon with no issues just to make sure.
    But I've had a couple of BSODs in the past few days again now.
    BSOD report is attached.

    Thanks again for any help!

    The device, AODDriver4.01, is reporting "tv_ConfigMgrErr24". This device will not be available until the issue is resolved. The Plug and Play ID for this device is ROOT\LEGACY_AODDRIVER4.01\0000.
    Still didn't get rid of AMD OverDrive. Please:
    - Install ATI drivers and the CCC
    - uninstall all ATI stuff from the system
    - install ONLY the ATI Display Driver Only
    - check in C:\Windows\System32\drivers for the AODDriver files (DO NOT delete them!) Let us know if you find them there.

    Afc.sys dates from 2006. It belongs to an older CD/DVD program.
    Please:
    - make a system restore point
    - make a System Repair disc (and test it to make sure it works). Go to Start...All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc in order to create one
    - go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and rename afc.sys to afc.BAD
    - check to see which CD/DVD program it breaks and uninstall that one.

    wdcsam64.sys - Western Digital SCSI Arcitecture Model (SAM) WDM driver dates from 2008. Please uninstall the Western Digital software from your system. Feel free to reinstall a fresh copy from the Western Digital website once we're done troubleshooting.

    I've got a hunch (but no proof) that the Symantec firewall may be acting up also (due to the networking BSOD's). Please do this to see:
    Anti-Virus Removal:
    Please do the following:
    - download a free antivirus for testing purposes: Free AntiVirus
    - uninstall the Norton from your system (you can reinstall it, if so desired, when we're done troubleshooting)
    - remove any remnants of Norton using this free tool: http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_...080710133834EN
    - IMMEDIATELY install and update the free antivirus, then check to ensure that the Windows Firewall is turned on.
    - check to see if this fixes the BSOD's
    NOTE: NEVER run more than 1 anti-virus, firewall, Internet Security/Security Center application at the same time.

    I did not find AODDriver files either before or after uninstalling all ATI stuff. Could they be named something else?

    Afc.sys was not in system32/drivers, but was found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers. I've renamed it, but I don't have any CD/DVD programs specifically, unless it is coming from iTunes, Quicktime or VLC. It might actually be from my external hard drive - which is what the Western Digital files are for.

    I've uninstalled the WD software but the wdcsam64.sys file is still there. Should I rename it for now?

    I've tried uninstalling Norton in the past as I thought it could be the source of my problems, but still had crashes with MSE. I'll give it another shot now, along with all of the other steps.

    Thanks again.

    Run the perfmon /report again. That'll tell you if AODDriver is still having issues
    Search the hard drive for AODDriver*.*

    I dunno what afc.sys is used with - it's used by several applications so it's difficult to tell which.

    Before renaming a driver:
    - make a system restore point
    - create a system repair disk (Start...All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc)
    - use Autoruns to disable all of the startup entries that the driver uses
    - then rename the driver (DON'T delete it).

    The Norton issue is just a guess on my part.

    The AODDriver issue is still showing up in perfmon. I've uninstalled all ATI stuff and there are not any services running that look like they'd be using it, but it is still showing up. The only place I can still find it is in the registry, but it won't allow me to modify or delete those entries.

    The AOD Driver may not be a problem (since the error is "Device is not present, not working properly, or does not have all of its drivers installed." )

    My concern isn't with the registry entries - as they don't hurt anything if they can't load the driver. We have to see if 1) The driver is present on your system, and 2) if it's loading when you start Windows.

    The easiest way to do this is to search for it. The other way is to wait for another BSOD and see if it shows up in that (and that's not a definite solution as it may not show up - yet it could still be loading).

    FWIW - this AMD OverDrive thing is giving me quite the headache. If we stop the BSOD's, that's what really counts!
