BSOD while just on internet and winamp

[SICKZ]

I keep getting a BSOD heres the error

crql not less or equal

The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0xf7dff050, 0x000000ff, 0x00000000, 0x8053e3c5).

Just recently built the comp about a week and a half ago.

AMD 64 3000+

MSI K8N Neo Plat

2x512 Corsair value select PC 3200

120 gb Seagate Barracuda

420 watt Termaltake psu

GeForce FX 5500

NEC 3500

WIN XP

I've done a memory test and thats all fine. I recently reformatted. I also removed and reinstalled all the Nvidia and Realtek drivers with Driver cleaner and got rid of that annoying "Safely remove my SATA drive" in the bottom corner.

What file/module did this error take place in...?

[Fedorpheux]

is there any reason that your processor temp may be too high?

that might have something to do with it...not necessarily, but might

[SICKZ]

How would I find out? I copied everything from the error.

[SICKZ]

My temps usually 45c on normal

[gshapiro]

If you are O/C'ing CPU and/or memory fall bit a little. Same thing for timings. Better yet... use the defaults just to see if you still get BSOD's.

[wa22guy]

Did you do a FULL memory test on boot? It sounds like bad RAM.

Try http://www.memtest86.com/

Read the whole BSOD, it will give a filename typically. It's how I found out my wireless USB driver was causing crashes.

[SICKZ]

Ok I'll run the memtest again and get back on here.

Did I use the wrong memory slots? I used the ones the furthest from the cpu, all the way on the right on the picture below.

if you check the event viewer you can post the exact BSOD message here

irql less or equal is usually a driver problem.

have you updated any drivers recently?

[SICKZ]

Memory test is fine. Before I reinstalled everything I had updated drivers and when I reinstalled I used the ones that came on the disc. It is CRQL and not IRQL, that I'm sure of. If I set the primary graphics device at AGP instead of PCI in the Bios could that be a problem? I do have an AGP card but when I load the Fail safe values it sets at PCI.

You can't really use the "wrong" memory slots, but as a side note, you should put pairs of RAM modules in slots of the same color so you can run the memory in dual channel mode.

I found this site that references your error:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....0cb07a6.xml.asp

It sounds like you're having a problem with a device driver. Try following the steps on the page to fix your problem.

Isn't CRQL different than the IRQL error? I have Norton 2005 anti virus and firewall installed. Is that known to cause any problems?

[SICKZ]

Also, this is the first time getting this error. I got 4 or 5 BSODS in the last week and there was an error with tcpip.sys. But the other times I didn't get to read it because it restarted too fast. I set it so it wont restart next BSOD.

That error generally is caused by bad or conflicting drivers. Update all of your drivers from the OEM web sites (not from Windows Update) and check for a bios update.

win2k.sys just caused the recent reboot =/

Yes, you should be using the two closest to the CPU.

I have actually been having a similar problem. I have also been getting the same stop error (with CRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL), basically everything the first guy has been saying. I have e dell running windows xp pro and it is inly about 7 months old. ATI radeon x300 graphics, creative sound. I cannot start uo windows normally, only under safe mode. I have tried using both system restore and last known configuration. Bothhave not worked.

I am fairly inexperienced in using computers (in terms of using DOS and trying to fix somewhat advanced things, I do know my way around to some degree). Most of this occured when I tried to fix my ATI drivers. The catalyst comtrol center wasn't working right, and I think i may have done somthing wrong in trying to fix it.

Can anyone help???

[TheNay]

Sounds like a driver issue. Download the newest drivers for everything, uninstall all your old drivers, then install the new ones. OR

I don't usually tell people to do this, but backup the computer and reinstall windows and use the new drivers. For better compatibility, use WHQL drivers only! These pass Microsoft standards and mean they shouldn't cause issues.

[joeywhat11]

Yeah, I tried, but I can't. I have to work in safe mode, and whenver I try and install something, it says that the isntaller cannot be accessed because it's in safe mode.

Oh, and I can't reinstall windows, since I do not have the CD, thanks to Dell. They don't ship their computers with windows, as to avoid pirating. It sucks. I know.

You can reinstall windows, the Windows Media is in a seperate partion on the HDD, you should be able to install it from boot...

[joeywhat11]

could you (or someone) explain how to do this in a little more depth? I am not completely sure how to do this, and i'd reather not mess anything else up today...

[joeywhat11]

also, does this mean that i would have to reinstal all my other programs???
