    Repeat BSODs, seemingly random (currently using fresh Win7 64 install)


    Hello all, and thanks for taking the time to read up on my woes..

    Built the computer in 2011 and have occassionally run into this BSOD: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I started having Win7 hangs ~50 minutes or so into using the computer, regardless of activity, where Windows would stop responding.

    To rule out the SSD as an issue I disconnected the SSD and installed Win7 on formatted 2TB WD drive... and have run into this old BSOD ******* again (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) on a fresh install. Looking for advice on what to do - happy to post logs etc just not sure what.

    BSOD info
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
    OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
    Locale ID: 1033
    Additional information about the problem:
    BCCode: a
    BCP1: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
    BCP2: 0000000000000002
    BCP3: 0000000000000001
    BCP4: FFFFF80002AAE622
    OS Version: 6_1_7601
    Service Pack: 1_0
    Product: 768_1

    Computer specs-
    CPU 3.4GZ I7-2600K
    MOBO ASUS P8Z68-V PRO
    RAM 8GB
    GFX NVIDIA GTX 580

    Should I flash my mobo? It's still rocking the out of the box bios

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi IBM999 welcome to SevenForums

    Run a memory test . Take a look at the tutorial below

    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

       Note
    Take a look at Part 3 of the tutorial if any ERRORS come up


       Tip
    If you have a Dual Channel memory kit and one of the memory sticks is bad . Replace both of the sticks . If the memory stick is still under warranty open an RMA with the memory's manufacture to get it replaced

    One of your RAM sticks is bad . One red error is enough to replace a memory kit or stick . But you have a Dual Channel kit so you would have to replace both memory sticks .
