BSOD IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

mreyeros · 05 Apr 2011

Good evening everyone I have recently purchased an Alienware computer and have been getting intermittent BSOD's since first boot up. Here are some of the basic specs

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
original OEM installed OS on the system

- System hardware is less than a month old
- I am running 8GB RAM
- Intel Core i7 1.73GHz

I am attaching the zipped up perfmon and dmp check and hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem.

In looking at the dump files provided, it would seem the Intel storage controller driver is triggering a page fault at an IRQ level higher than 1 (which causes Windows to bugcheck on purpose, because otherwise the whole system would lock up). The stack has just passed through the stdflt.sys driver it would seem as well, which is a pretty old version. I have seen many systems running the latest Intel Rapid Storage driver (from 3/2010) without issue, so I am doubting it's a problem with the Intel driver. However, we have seen crashes just like this here with older versions of the sensor driver, and Dell just happens to have a (much) newer version available here - I would strongly suggest updating to that first and rebooting to see if that fixes things.
