BSOD on both XP and Win7 (dual boot on same pc)

[asafgu]

Hi
I get BSOD both in XP and Win7, both installed on the same machine (on different HDD if it makes any diferenece).
On XP i get : DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
On Win7 : IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

Hoping that someone can identify what is wrong

Thanks alot

Sounds like a hardware defect

Run Prime 95 to test your CPU. Carefully the instructions in this tutorial: CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs).
Note that this test may overheat the CPU, ensure proper cooling.

Test your RAM

yowanvista, Thanks for your quick reply.
I Will try it later on and post the results.
Do the dumps particulary point at a hardware problem?

Dumps indicate that a core Windows file was involved in your crashes but Windows Files never cause BSODs unless being triggered by a hardware event(such as a unresponsive CPU or Bad RAM). That's the reason why I pointed out some hardware tests.
