    Good job on the 'System Specs'.

    What Anti-Virus are you using?
    The vsserv.exe, is normally used by BitDefender and some other AVs. This can be caused by AV conflicts.
    Have had other AVs installed previusly?
    Where they completely removed by specific program removal apps?
    Are you using any Acronis products?

    I'm using BitDefender Plus 2012. Before BitDefender I had Kaspersky 2011 installed. I'm not sure exactly how "removed" Kaspersky was. As in, I think I just went through the programs uninstall process and installed BitDefender either right after or after a reboot. I could uninstall BitDefender and then clean the registry, reboot and reinstall I suppose.

    Run the uninstaller from Kaspersky.

    Then uninstall BitDefender Plus 2012.

    These uninstallers will do everything required, best not to use any registry cleaners as they usually do more harm than good.


    Then install MSE for testing, if another cause is found, you can try other Anti-Virus programs later.

    I've recently had another irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD, but I uninstalled BitDefender after the fact, and installed MSE. So I figure I'll wait and see if I get another BSOD with only MSE installed.

    Hey, not to thread hijack or anything but OMG I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM :O

    For weeks, I've been plauged by what I thought were seemingly unrelated errors, until I remembered an IRQL error and thinking it had something to do with my RAM and then this win32k.sys error led me to this very thread. It sounds like this is a memory tweaking issue, in which case could you lend me a hand as well, I know nothing about those specific settings (I was just messing around with ganged vs unganged mode and interleaving to see if using one or the other would fix it, nothin)

    Impossible to read your CPU-Z images. If you want help, Dave needs to be able to see what you have on the system. Dark blue text on a black background hurts my eyes.

    Agree with writhziden, can't read the CPUZ snips.

    Can you change the colors so we can read them?
    We can help with the CPUZ info and your 'System Specs'.

    Took me a long time to get back to you guys, but I'll explain why. After I'd done what you'd told me, my system was running fine, great in fact. Then I decided to bump up the processor speed to 4.5GHz. I did so successfully, but the BSODs came back, so I bumped up the voltages that I fiddled with before (the ones you suggested) and the BSODs went away. I didn't post back because the BSODs came back, but not due to the overclock. It's quite stable, but after much thought, I think it's due to some unknown software/driver issues. So you did help. I'm just having the occasional BSOD, but it's more manageable now. I can't figure out how to give you "plus reputation" though.

    Glad it helped.

    There is a time limit on giving rep to someone in a thread, this one is past that date.
