BSOD Problems

[martinradbourne]

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I started having blue screen problems, freezing mostly when I play computer games, sometimes when the computer is idle. I have had a number of different error messages, the most common being IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, I have also had SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Sometimes after these crashes the computer does not start up and needs to be restarted at least once for it to boot up.


Basic System Info: Windows 7 Pro x64 OEM
Whole base unit is just over a year old, and I tried reinstalling Windows a week or so ago but it did not fix the problem.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!

Most of these blame NETIO.sys (part of the OS) but that is usually not the case. Often with netio.sys it is ZOne Alarm. If so it should be removed.

I also noticed a huge cause of BSOD's called asacpi.sys. (yours 2005)


1-ASACPI.SYS a major cause of BSOD's in the 2005 rev.

The pre 2009 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUS teK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit" (it's about the 12th item down).
Download and install it. (ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download Tools)
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).
