Hello there, I have a problem on my hands here but I'm pretty scared to do anything since I'm not that savvy when it comes to these things.
First of all some background on my computer (if they matter):
Running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (build 7600)
Pentium Dual Core 2.60 GHz but overclocked to 2.79 at the moment
Crappy 160 GB SATA hard drive (I think)
It is a custom built computer, built in summer of 09. I ran vista on it at first but I think that I installed 7 on it within a few months. I've never once had a problem with it before.
Background on the problem:
I brought this computer to college for gaming purposes mostly. I quit for a while, leaving this computer unused for about a month. A week ago I used it to write up a report and it was fine. Then day before yesterday I tried playing World of Warcraft on it. It ran fine for an hour then WoW experienced a critical error then it restarted the game. Another 30 minutes of playtime went by and the critical error happened again, this time 10 seconds later I blue screened.
The screen said DRIVER_IQRL_NOT_OR_LESS_EQUAL blah blah blah and dumped the memory or whatever that was. Then it restarted but blue screened the second it booted back up with the same error. Then it restarted again but this time it didn't get past the windows logo and just looped a constant restart-crash cycle at the logo. When startup repair is done, it says "it worked" and that the cause was "Registry is Corrupt" however no amount of startup repair fixes it.
The next morning I turned it on and it worked for an hour, but once again started blue screening. Now I'm running it on safe mode with networking and it doesn't seem as if any system files are bad since it started.Anways, sorry if that was long but thought that someone could get something useful from my info.
