Help with "IRQ not less or equal" suddenly occurring on bootup
First post here, apologies if I get something wrong.
I couldnt create a BSOD file, so I had to take a photo - hope this is ok. I have also attached a bootlog file.
My computer was working fine and I hadn't even installed anything new when one morning it simply would not boot without BSOD. It will however boot and work using Safemode with Networking, so I figure it has to be a driver issue?
I have gone into startup system/tools and reduced it to the bare minimum but I still get the issue, so then I tried to run the perfom report but it will not let me in safe mode. I have tried to run a repair from Windows 7 bootup cd, but it comes up with nothing, ditto on memory check.
So attached is the BSOD image (again, sorry I couldn't use the program to grab it)
and the bootlog file (not sure how useful this is as was booting using minimum stuff anyway)
I know that my machine isn't technically meant to run Windows 7, but it was designed for Vista and so many of the drivers I was able to use from Vista because W7 supported ones were never released (eg soundcard and video driver iirc)
Computer is
An Acer Aspire 5102 with the AMD TL50 processor
4GB ram
120GB hard drive
It is running Windows 7 Home Premium (single licence) 32bit version
The computer is over 3 years old, the OS is only 1 year old and I have had no problems with it up until the morning of April 1st when the problem started.
I foolishly setup no system restore points or anything else, so have no backup to run the machine from. The only thing I have is an Acronis image from before I upgraded to Win7.
I have since bought a Dell XPS because I needed to have a new machine ASAP and am now trying to fix it to sell it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
