Hello, new to this forum but desperately need help.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit on an ASUS U56E standard everything - no hardware changes ever, bought from a store in the box brand new. Had for about a year now.
About a week or two ago I started to get a black screen when turning on my computer that "Windows Did Not Start Properly" and it would automatically go into another sort of disk check menu and it scans for a half hour and says it couldn't find anything. I then continue and usually it boots up ok. But in the last week I am now getting a BSOD mixed with the black one and the Blue one has an IRQL Not Lesser Or Equal Than error at the top but it goes away quickly and I cannot copy down the error codes on the bottom. I hard-shut down the computer every time this happens and about 50% of the time I get a desktop with no issues and the other half I get the BSOD again. I feel this started happening with the last Windows update and I cannot figure out what to do. I attached my information as stated in the forums rules - hopefully someone can help because I depend on my CPU for work and I'm getting scared that I may not ever get back on it if the frequency continues. I wasn't sure if you recommended system restore or not because I didn't want to restore and then have the windows update come through again and have the same problem again (assuming the new Win7 updates are vital which I read they are).
Thank you anyone and everyone for the help on this in advance.
