    Random BSOD "Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal"


    My PC:
    OS - Windows 7 Ultimate
    Case - Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX
    MB - ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX
    CPU - AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition 3.4Ghz
    PSU - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
    RAM - G-Skill Ripjaw Series 4GB DDR3 1600 x4 (16GB)
    HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200 1.5TB
    GPU - XFX Radeon HD 4850
    Display - ASUS MS238 23'' LED (Primary)
    Display - VIZIO E-Series 60” Razor LED™ E601i-A3 (Secondary)

    1st off my build is now 2 years old (built Feb 2011)

    I used to have a serious blue screen issue when I 1st built my PC and it took forever to figure out what was causing it, basically I had my ram speed set to high. I have no had any persistent issues since Feb - May of 2011. Now recently I have been noticing more and more frequent BSoD's, but only when I am actually using my PC, it is on 24/7 and I have program/games running all the time and I never wake up to a PC that has rebooted. Also I have no idea if this has anything to do with it or its just a fluke but the last 3 BS's have happened while browsing the internet (Firefox) two of which happened the exact moment I opened a new tab. I get the message Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, do not know much more but my .dmp files should tell a trained eye whats wrong!
    (I also plan on getting a new video card very soon as I know my current card is horrible underpowered and I feel it may be going bad.)

    ASUS OEM installed to a retail motherboard.

    Purchase a genuine version of Windows 7 - we do not support counterfeit installations.

Hey everyone, Got some trouble with random BSODs. I recently removed my SSD that was faulty and made a fresh Win7 install on my other hard drive (a regular one). My PC now has random BSODs and I'm at a loss at what could be causing it as I'm somewhat computer savvy but not nearly as savvy as you...
