Solved IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL random BSODS

Rik3Rr

New member
Dear SevenForums,

I am encountering seemingly random IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSODs with error code "d1". In the past, these BSODs have primarily reported that one of my two NIC drivers is causing the BSOD. Before I start making changes to my system, I would like to ask if someone would be willing to analyze my minidump files and, if possible, provide me with advice as to how to proceed from here?

These BSODs started originally three weeks ago when I installed a new sound card in my system (HT Omega eClaro). I have since removed that sound card and replaced it with another new sound card (ASUS XONAR Essence STX). The BSODs continue...

Please note that I have already tried updating one of my NICs, and disabling the other NIC in BIOS, but to no avail. I'm wondering at this point if a reformat is necessary?

Thank you in advance for any assistance offered! Take care.

It seems to be C Media audio driver from the drivers name. Some other Devices like Asus Xonor also uses this driver. Whatever, the audio driver is causing the crashes there. If you have installed the audio card recently, try replacing it. Or search for updates in the manufacturer's website.

Follow it: How to Revert the Win7 1394ohci.sys to the Legacy Driver

Anyway, it may also be the situation the the audio driver is clashing with some other audio component recently updated. If you want us to have a closer look to your issue, post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Thanks, Arc, but not sure if I am going to reformat at this time. I would first like to see if someone would be willing to analyze my minidump and tell me if there are alternative options available to me instead of a complete reformat.

Arc,

Thank you so much for analyzing my dump files (Man, it's important to keep the last word on that sentence!).

If possible, I would be most grateful should you be willing to study my crash in additional detail. The reason for this is that this crash happened about a year ago due to my c-media driver. Despite trying several things, the same problem has reared its head again. Any additional information you can share with me would be very helpful.

Per your suggestion, I have used the SF Diagnostic Tool and attached the .rar file to this thread. Thank you again for all of your help with this problem! Please do let me know if I can clarify anything.

Arc,

One more thing: why did you put this in your last post? - Follow it: How to Revert the Win7 1394ohci.sys to the Legacy Driver

Why would revering to a legacy driver fix my problem? Also, that legacy driver does not seem to be related to a sound driver.

Thanks for clarifying!

1394ohci.sys is contributing to your issue ..... see some entries from your memory dump.
Code:
fffff800`00b9c928  fffff880`09461a17 1394ohci!WppAutoLogTrace+0x15f
fffff800`00b9c0f8  fffff880`09443f4f 1394ohci!Interrupt::WdfEvtInterruptIsr+0x147
When it troubles, better it is to set to legacy driver. So I suggested it to you.

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

  • Double click to open it.
  • Click this button only:
  • 2012-12-13_224441.jpg
  • If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.
You have 29 entries in startup. Free up the startup.

  1. Click on the Start button
  2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
  3. Select the “Startup” tab.
  4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
  5. Apply > OK
  6. Accept then restart.
Download and install this particular version of Intel RST.

Get rid of it ......
Code:
Start Menu\Programs\McAfee
Most problematic thing. Crap. Does not give you any security, but causes various troubles including network blocking. And you are facing network blockages, too. I am discussing it later. Now you uninstall McAfee Using McAfee Removal Tool. Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Come to your network blockage now.

Do you use RADI? if not, uninstall all the Marvell entries in Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then reboot. At reboot, necessary generic drivers will be auto installed. Marvell's drivers are most poorly coded.

Said about the C Media driver earlier .... added these stuff now. When all the changes are done, let us know how it is working. And, best of luck :)

Arc,

You are the man (or woman)! I had no idea all of that was wrong with my system, and I have a decent amount of experience building systems. Thank you so much! I will make the necessary changes and report back in a day or two with results.

Until then...

Arc,

No BSODs since I have made all the changes you specified in your last few posts.

Fingers-crossed that your recommended changes ameliorate this issue!

I'll report back in a few days and let you know how it's going, but for now, it looks good!

Hi Arc, or anyone else willing to take a look at this...,

My BSODs have decreased in frequency by a huge margin; however, I am still getting BSODs when my system wakes up from sleep. I am wondering if the BSODs from post-sleep are caused by something other than my C-Media driver problem discussed in this thread earlier?

Also important to note: When my computer successfully wakes, there is a 50%+ chance that the two mice I have attached to my computer will not function unless I unplug and re-plug them into the USB port. I am wondering if that is indicative of an underlying problem causing the BSODs, but I'm not sure.

I have attached a new SF Diagnostic overview of my system, should anyone be willing to see what caused my last BSOD and/or what steps I should pursue from here?

Thank you again in advance for the assistance. Take care.

Arc,

As always, your assistance is most appreciated! I will make the appropriate changes as you have specified. Otherwise, the previous recommendations you made in this thread seem to have eliminated my auido-driver BSODs, so thanks again for that! I've been trying to pin that problem down for a year+ now.

One more quick question: Which file and program are using in order to create the BSOD report you quoted in your previous post? I am confident that I can interpret this information on my own, should someone like you be willing to give me a little guidance. In your last post, did you read through my .dump file, or were you looking elsewhere, and which program did you use to read it?

Thank you, and take care!

I've had another BSOD. I'm noting that many of my BSODs seem to occur while watching YouTube videos. Usually mid-way through the video, or right after I start up the video, the BSOD will start.

This one did not provide me with an error code. .Rar file attached. I am also going to do my best to analyze it, but also would appreciate any feedback from others as I am still inexperienced at this. Thank you!

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information
Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip


Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Hey Arc,

I would like to update you that I have reformatted my system, and everything is now running smoothly. After 4 days, I have not experienced any BSODs, which I think is a good sign. As a result, I think we can determine that this matter has been solved. If I get more BSODs, I will start a new thread.

Thanks again for all of your help. I learned much, and think that it will help me should/when I encounter more BSODs in the future.

Clean install is always a good idea. As the IRQL not less or equal is a driver driven BSOD, it is supposed to be solved by a clean reinstall.

If you receive more BSODs, let us know :)
