So i got a new computer a couple of weeks ago, it is pretty up to date and very fast, 8 gigabyte ram, amd phenom 6core 3,31 ghz, radeon 6950 graphics card and about 4 terrabyte hard drive space combined.
Right after i installed windows( i installed it from a usb-pen), no more than like 5 minutes after, i got my first bluescreen.
Now i get them.. i wouldn't say regularly, cause it isn't, but it also kind of is. I'll explain:
I get them OFTEN, but sometimes i can go days without bluescreening.
On the bluescreen it says
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
and has also once said
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Its usually Tcpip.sys or e1q62x64.sys, but 2 times i've gotten a bluescreen that said
hal.dll (this is the one with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
Also I've noticed, my windows refuses to install new updates, there are 3 important ones and it starts on update 1 out of 3 everytime i shut down, but then it just kind of cancels it and shuts off.
I have a suspicion that i should buy a new windows cd but before I do I'd like some help from anyone who can identify the problem, tell me what to do and help me!
Any help is appreciated!
