Irql_not_less_or_equal Bsod

Recently, whenever I connect to my wireless network, after only a few minutes, my system crashes and I get a Blue Screen of death with the error of "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". I have done some research online and found people say that it was because of recently added hardware, but I haven't added any.

It never used to do this. Would a simple reformat fix this all?

Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.

It really depends on the problem if a format would fix it or not... The wireless card could be going bad, thus causing the error. Or, it could simply be some software issue. I'd try reloading the drivers, maybe using different software to connect to networks... If that doesn't work, you could try reloading... Or another wireless card if possible.

I use the default Windows connecting software. Are there really any better to choose from?

I'll try the driver re-install. Thanks for the help!
