Solved Frequent BSOD. First Bad Pool Header and now IRQL Not less or Equal

[Jacob4073]

When using verifier I kept getting the BSOD at the start stating that my drivers were messed up. However without verifier I can usually boot but I get a frequent BSOD. The most recent one stated IRQL Not Less or Equal. If anyone can point out which driver might be the one causing this it would be appreciated.

While waiting, would you please fill out your system specs using this as a guideline.
Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Manufacturer and Model and
ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

The cause is gdrv.sys which seems to be part of some of the software bundled with you motherboard, probably Easysaver or Autogreen, uninstall them and see if the problem disappears.

Probably caused by : gdrv.sys ( gdrv+1809 )

[Jacob4073]

Okay I have updated my system specs and I uninstalled the programs bundled with my motherboard. Was there anything else that could have possibly caused a problem?

 

[karlsnooks]

Good start on the specs.

Now: the manufacturer and model of your desktop computer is ?
Have you installed SP1?

I'll await those answers / updates before continuing.

 

[Jacob4073]

Oh it is built. I built it probably a month ago and so far I have had about 5 blue screens. (minus the verifier BSODs) Also SP1 is installed.
The gdrv.sys and the program that came with my motherboard's company have been uninstalled. Can't say if it worked yet though.

 

[karlsnooks]

update your specs accordingly please.

 

[Jacob4073]

It has been done

 

[karlsnooks]

I do not know the specific difference, but your processor is not on the list CPU Support list for your motherboard.
Your processor is: Phenom II X4 965 BE according to your specs.

This processor: Phenom II X4 965 is on the list.

 

[Jacob4073]

Yeah it is essentially the same thing just without the unlocked multiplier

 

[karlsnooks]

Please stop overclocking and let's see if the problem goes away.

 

[Jacob4073]

My CPU is currently not overclocked. Everything is running at stock speeds besides the GPU. However the problem started before I replaced my old GPU with this one which means that it shouldn't be the problem at least. All my temperatures are at normal when idle and when in performance and I have never gotten an error while playing games.

 

[Jacob4073]

The motherboard program drivers could have been the only problem though since my PC, now that I think about it, would shut down at around 3:00am when the program updates that were scheduled at that time would occur. The Gdrv.sys driver also said that the date modified was at around 3:00 which means that was when the driver was used and the BSOD happened.
If it doesn't happen in the next hour I will mark this as solved.
I highly appreciate the help.

Jacob,
The difference is small, but this is from the sevenforums.rar file your submtited:

[Processor Information (Type 4) - Length 35 - Handle 0004h]
Socket Designation Socket M2
Processor Type Central Processor
Processor Family 1dh - AMD Athlon Family
Processor Manufacturer AMD
Processor ID 430f1000fffb8b17
Processor Version AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor
Processor Voltage 89h - 0.9V
External Clock 200MHz
Max Speed 3200MHz
Current Speed 3400MHz
Status Enabled Populated
Processor Upgrade ZIF Socket
L1 Cache Handle 000ah
L2 Cache Handle 000ch

Are you perhaps using one of those overdrive type of programs?

 

[karlsnooks]

Jacob,
Then I assume that you've visited this site to make sure that your chipset driver and other drivers are current:
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-970A-UD3 (rev. 1.x)

 

[Jacob4073]

I did use AMD overdrive to experiment with a temporary profile but it went back to stock after a reset.
I did check to get the latest BIOS but I did not check for the latest drivers on the website for those programs . I was using the ones on the CD. I'd say the update manager that was scheduled at 3am every night had conflicts.

 

[karlsnooks]

Checking the drivers at that site would be a wise idea.
Your bios is current.

 

[Jacob4073]

I am going to mark this as solved assuming that the driver that I deleted earlier was causing the problem.
Thank you for the help

 

[karlsnooks]

Glad to be of assistance.
