BSOD IRQL not less or equal.

[circus0000]

I get this a lot since a week or two ago. Any idea what this means?

 

[Britton30]

It is likely a memory issue, not just RAM. Try these tests untill a BSOD team member can help you.
Some hardware tests to run.

Hard drive(s):
Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.

RAM (memory):
This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.

Strange thing happens

 

[x BlueRobot]

[COLOR="Red"]BugCheck A[/COLOR], {0, 2, 0, fffff80002e8f242}

Probably caused by : dxgmms1.sys ( dxgmms1!VidMmiProcessTerminationCommand+5f )

Usual causes:  Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility

Run Driver Verifier to scan for any corrupted drivers which may be causing problems, this program works by running various stress tests on drivers, in order to produce a BSOD which will locate the driver; run for least 24 hours:

Upload .NFO file:

Start rb: > Type: msinfo32 > File, Save

run for least 24 hours:

Oh god

You can use your computer as you normally would, just leave your computer turned on while your not using it.

Could please upload your .NFO file, it's much easier than going through the .dmps and then filtering through a list of drivers.

 

[circus0000]

I can't watch youtube anymore. I don't even have sound on my computer. Should I restart my computer?

 

[x BlueRobot]

Have enabled Driver Verifier yet? Please upload the .NFO file so I can see the dates of your drivers.

 

[circus0000]

My sound and hearts (game) is not working ahaha.

Your BIOS seems very old, it's best to update with the latest version if possible:

BIOS Version/Date	Dell Inc. A02, [COLOR="Red"]23/12/2009[/COLOR]

Remove:

Start Menu\Programs\AVG

Use the offical uninstaller tool provided by AVG:

• Download tools and utilities | AVG UK

Install and perform full scans with:

• Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download
• Microsoft Security Essentials | Protect against viruses, spyware, and other malware

:info: Remember to install the free version of Malwarebytes not the free trail; untick the free trial box during installation. MSE is the most lightweight and compatible with the Windows 7 operating system.

Is Driver Verifier running?

Is Driver Verifier running?

Thank you for replying so fast!

How do I check if its running? I did what the instruction told me and reboot once since. Everything is so slow and I have no sound.

 

[circus0000]

Forgot to ask. How do I update BIOS?

 

[x BlueRobot]

Here's the latest BIOS update I could find for your model:

• Driver Details | Dell United States

Here's a guide for updating your BIOS:

• How to Update Your BIOS | PCWorld

I will get a hardware specialist to help to update the BIOS.

Driver Verifier will be running in the background, and cause the system to 'lag' as the system is stressing the drivers (more information see links in my first post).

I'm not paying for this taxi fare hahaa.

My Computer is super lagging alright that I can confirm.

I'll remove the AVG and install the Malwarebyte later on. Thanks for the replies and I'll respond after 24 hours or if my computer is fried haha.

Driver Verifier will slow your system, you are trying to stress driver until a BSOD.

Download BIOS A12 from here, click the downloaded file and follow the instructions.
Driver Details | Dell United Kingdom

 

[circus0000]

got one!

 

[Britton30]

Blue robot will check back again.
Were you able to update your BIOS?

 

[circus0000]

Yeah I did that. I even found 2011 version So What I did is I uninstall all the AVG and installed the window essential. Then I found out that the Verifier was off then I enabled it. 20 minutes later I got blue screen but this time is not IRQL but something else. I uploaded the file and NFO file as well in the zip file. I turned off the verifier and I get IRQL blue screen again. Now the question is do I turn the verifier on back again?

 

[Britton30]

I'm no BSOD person, but I would say leave it off till he can read the last one caused by verifier. Be patient, those people are very busy.

 

[circus0000]

Erm any update on this?
