Idle computer crashes to BSOD, also happens randomly while surfing web I'm at a loss to what's happening, I keep getting BSOD while doing various activities. All BSOD seeem to be associated with this exe, ntosknl.exe. I have already done a complete install Windows 7 pro X'3 on different hard drives same error, I have run memtest86 on my memory, I have used a dianostic program from Western Digital to check my hard drives. I had several dump files but for some reason the where deleted.
Nost that were listed had to do with IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Could really use help. Attached is the file from windows seven forum diagnosstics tool, hope it helps | My System Specs |

Looks OK, thanks. System Optimisers
Please remove the following software: Code: Start Menu\Programs\Advanced SystemCare 6 Public:Start Menu\Programs\Advanced SystemCare 6 Public This software is a known cause of BSOD's. The windows 7 operating system does not require these registry cleaning software. They often tune-down rather than tune-up and can wreck the OS beyond repair. Microsoft have improved Windows 7 significantly and it is much better at organising and optimising itself than its predecessors. Check this, this and this thread for evidence.
If you feel the need to use a registry cleaning or optimisation software, most of us recommend the use of CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download but make sure you back up the registry before making letting ccleaner delete anything.
Your .dmp file is very silent. Have you had more BSOD-s after your first post?
What security software are you using?
How old is your computer?
Have you checked for dust/debris inside the case?
Make scans with the following:
-Kaspersky TDSSKiller -ESET online scanner Microsoft Security Essentials. Recommended from a strict BSOD perspective, compatibility & stability compared to other antiviruses/internet security software. It is free and lightweight:-  Warning  Do not start the free trial of Malware Bytes; remember to deselect that option when prompted.
Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated.
Perform a System File Check: - Click on the start
 - Type CMD on Search
- Left click and Run as Administrator
- Type SFC /scannow
Full tutorial here: Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using CrystalDiskInfo and Summary tab using Speccy: Make a hard drive test from the hard drive manufacturers website: Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it: Have you checked for a BIOS update? Code: BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 1/22/2008 Fill in your system specs. - Click on User CP on the top right of this page

- Fill in your computer specs
Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes. Quote: The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.
Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.
If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step. 1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes. *Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot. If this stick passes the test then go to step #3. 2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot. *If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot. *If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings. 3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot. *If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick. *If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot. 4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.
If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.
In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.  Information Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.  Tip Do this test overnight, before going to bed.
If RAM and Hard drive test comes back clean the next step would be driver verifier although you mention clean installing windows.

Thanks Koolkat
I have completed most of the solutions but not all, Advanced system care- Removed
SFC /scannow completed nothing found all is fine
There is a new bios bios for my Mb but was having difficulty attempting flash. I don't have a 1.44 floppy and Flash drive to boot into dos isn't recognized same with CD rom boot. Did find the my MB Manufacturer XFX has a utility in the ntune software to flash the bios just haven't done it yet.
Memtest86 on memory- done and cleared but during the testing found that I had incompatable memory installed I had 2 OCZ PC 6400 1 gb @ 4 4 4 @ 1.8v and 2 OZC PC 6400 5 4 4 @ 2.1 V. I took out the 1.8v and have been running no antivirus or utilities at this time with the exception of rung tests and have not had a BSOD. I'm waiting on an additional 4 gb of ram to show up before flashing the bios. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 pro CPU Q6600 2.4 gig quad core Motherboard XFX 680i SLI Memory 8 gig Graphics Card Temp Card, geforce 8600gt Sound Card on board Monitor(s) Displays Dell 19" FP and a Asus 24 " HDMI monitor Keyboard G-15 Mouse Razar Naga PSU Thermal Take TR2 RX 850W Model 850AH3CH Case XFX Cooling ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler Hard Drives 3-500 gig Internet Speed 20 mbs |

ThermalTake TR2 RX 850W Model 850WAH3CH Ok, still at stock. So that rules that out.
On relatively rare occasions, the PSU can be the culprit - especially if overclocking with a lower quality unit. So, I'm relieved to see that you have a fairly decent PSU (it's not a great unit, but still). I'm also relieved that no overclocking has been done. I admit that I was worried about all of this due to the video card failure.
This is all I think I can contribute for now. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number I built it.
