BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, now Memory_Management
Howdy all, i'm sadfacing right now as my beautiful Sega Exodus has run a BSOD string that I can't break. I'm still newer to windows 7, but i've repaired windows XP computer for a long time free lance, but this one has me baffled :- /
This is the chain of events leading up to the BSOD
-Room mate copied WoW folder on (wow of course doesn't need to install), played.
- Later, shut off computer, and later on i turned it on, she signed back in so i could see how WoW played on my new gaming machine.
-Weird pixelation and "fuzz" started appearing in the game, mainly around the higher "shiny" things like flames and stuff. Shut down WoW, fuzzies and screen stuff still happening, shut down and restarted.
- Distortions gone. Decided i wanted to play some Crysis.
- Played Crysis for about 5 minutes, reached a checkpoint, then BAM, crashed (game), froze. Force quit it, then tried running it again, this time it quit much sooner.
-Lastly, BAM, got hit with a BSOD, IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (stop 0x0000000A), and now getting a BSOD memory management. I uninstalled almost everything, and also stopped a lot of programs from coming up in the background. unpluged my wireless and bluetooth adapters as well.
Right now i'm running an extensive Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool sweep, only 10% as i type this, but so far no errors (hope it's not the memory...)
Thing that sucks is this is a special custom build, many pieces are glued and no longer easily accessable. If memory test turns out okay, should i just do a clean install? I need a quick fix, i'm used to backing up and restoring.
