Windows 7: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

roxycon · 30 Mar 2015

Having random BSOD's multiple times a day with them mostly pointing at the same .sys files, googling the problems and the usual troubleshooting havn't solved anything other than deliting a bunch of programs.

I have tried:
-updating drivers
-reinstalling drivers
-clean install OS (both HP and ultimate)
-cleaning up the OS

Right now i have only installed the bare minimal to continue working on the computer;
AMD and msi drivers
all windows updates
chrome
netbeans, java DK, dropbox and xampp

please help me get a reliable computer again

Hello roxycon and welcome to the forums. I will try to help you with this. You only have one dump file. I assume it is because of reinstalling Windows. But, if you would, please do not use any disk cleaning utilities. They almost all remove dump files and error reports by default. The dump file you have says this

Code:

fffff800`04007050  fffff880`10373d6aUnable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\iusb3xhc.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for iusb3xhc.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for iusb3xhc.sys
 iusb3xhc+0x52d6a

Which is your Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver and can be downloaded from your Motherboard's web site under other drivers, I believe. MSI Global - The best gaming gears maker in the world 64

Please try that and let me know if it helps any. I would also suggest you try running the computer with nothing but keyboard and mouse plugged into the USB ports for a while and see if it makes a difference.

Hello roxycon, sorry for the delay. I guess I just missed it. Would you go to Windows Updates and click on Update History in the left column and see how many updates have failed and if they were installed successfully later please. You are getting errors from just too many places. Please go to You Motherboard's web site (MSI Global - The best gaming gears maker in the world) and try updating all of your Motherboard drivers.

Also please update your Graphics driver. I will give you some steps to help you get a clean install with nothing that you don't need.

I am going to give you some links that will help you get a good clean install and not have any drivers you don't need that will conflict with other drivers. Download a WHQL driver from https://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-c...ndows-7-a.html . Once you have them downloaded, uninstall you current driver from control panel. next clean up any left over drivers from following this tutorial Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling and select only ATI Display Drivers. After you have done that and rebooted, install the new driver, only select custom install and install only what you have to. Very few people need most of what they include. You do not need the audio/HDMI drivers as you already have that in your Motherboard drivers. Unless there is some reason you need them, the only thing you really need is the Display Driver.

the system has been rock solid for seven hours now. did what you said over, giving me same results and me coming to terms its a hardware issue but right after i remembered the gpu having a bios switch, so i switched it and updated a asmedia driver and it has been ok since, just having some bad loading times in chrome though.

Thanks a lot for your help, and ill be sure to post anything if the system cripples down again
