BSOD - Sometimes NDIS.sys "driver_irql_not_less_or_equal"

Your latest crash dump not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

The first one is caused by the display driver.

Update it from Latest NVIDIA ForceWare Video Drivers Windows 7.

But the other one, Page fault in non-paged area is not giving any information. If after updating the display driver it crashes again, enable driver verifier.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

You first Do some disc checks.

1. Update your SSD's Firmware (Skip it, if it is not a SSD)
2. Re-seat the sata and power.
3. Run chkdsk /f/r, following the option two of the tutorial Disk Check
4. Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
   Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.

Uninstall Spybot.
Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.

Download and install those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.


Rollback the graphics driver to an older one.

• Download and install Driver Fusion.
• Reboot the computer in Advanced Boot Options, safe mode. Search Driver Fusion in your start menu, and remove all components of your nVidia display driver.
• Boot normally now. Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Drivers > Beta and Legacy; search there with your cards particulars for GeForce 306.23 Driver, dated 13.9.2012 and install it.

And, plan to update the BIOS. It is too old.

Code:

BiosMajorRelease = 8
BiosMinorRelease = 15
BiosVendor = American Megatrends Inc.
BiosVersion = V2.0S
BiosReleaseDate = 12/16/2008

Let us know the results.

I followed your steps.
The SSD resulted in the attached image. I configured the drive to IDE correctly.

Check disk found nothing.

Haven't ran Seatools yet since no free CD's, should be getting some today.

Uninstalled Spybot. Installed the NVidia driver as instructed.

Where would I go to find a BIOS update? Since I couldn't find any help

Also attached new logs

For updates, search in your SSD manufacturer's website.

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (c5)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is
caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool.  Run the driver
verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
Arguments:
Arg1: c1d00004, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000002, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg4: 82d734c1, address which referenced memory
