BSOD updating Counter-Strike Source & Downloading Audio

pongsta · 17 Jun 2014

Hey guys,

When I was both updating CSS and downloading some music, I got the BSOD. The one issue I remember getting was this: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

Any help would be appreciated. I have read the info on what to do prior to posting, but I am still a new member here.

Thanks.

1: Run chkdsk Disk Check

2: Download and run SeaTools to check your HDD. SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

3: Download and run MemTest86+ to test your RAM.

Note

Run MemTest86+ for at least 8 passes. Ideally set it off before you go to bed and leave it overnight, we're looking for zero errors here.
