BSOD IRQL Not Less or Equal

[pietastesgood]

Updated the drivers, rebooted, and the problem's still there. But at least it was able to reboot without BSOD'ing, so I guess that's something.

I just realized, I don't actually have any devices in 4 of the 5 slots. Only one of the slots is occupied, and that's my flash drive, which still works fine. Weird.

Perhaps this will help:

My main drive is C, my W7 restore image is D, my DVD drive is E, and I have empty spots from F to I, all of which have exclamation points in Device Manager. J is my external, I have nothing in K, and L is my flash drive, which also had an exclamation point. I uninstalled the device and reinserted it but the only change was that now there's nothing at all in the L drive of Device Manager. Nevertheless, the flash drive still works. Should I just go ahead and uninstall the devices for F to I, since there's actually nothing in there?

Just bumping this, if it's alright.

Try removing the drive letters for those empty drives.

Go ahead and uninstall the devices if that doesn't do the trick for you.

Alright, done. Now, I just hope it'll return to normal shutdown...

I hope it does, too. Let us know.

Well, it's been shutting down normally the past week, and I hope it stays that way! Thanks for all the help, guys!
