Bsod

[Droogie]

Hey guys,

I've been getting random restarts, so I decided to disable the automatic restart feature on Vista so I could take a look at the BSOD. And here is the error message that it gives me;

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

That could mean a whole lot of things. I would suspect bad drivers. Try updating display drivers for the computer. Also check for driver updates for the other components (chipset, Ethernet, sound, etc...). Then when you have done that make sure the OS is up to date.

The very few times I have seen this error message on xp and vista machines it has been a driver/OS issue.

What is the STOP code?

example:

STOP 0x000000D1

What is the STOP code?

example:

Didn't write that down, If it happens again I'll post the stop code.

Yea, STOP codes are really important. They tell you which specific part of the computer is acting abnormal.

Would a HJT log be helpful?

 

[Intel_man]

not necessarily.
