Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Every so often; 3 days-2 weeks; I get a BSOD relating to: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL latest minidump file: http://sdrv.ms/MZpOq0 I have done MemTest I would be greatly appreciated if you could help.

This type of error points to following cause 1. Hardware problem (Have you memtest several hours for say 10 passes? Test your hdd by hdd vendor diagnostic tools. 2. Remove temporarily your antovirus/antomalware programs ( use vendor's removal tool) 3. Double check drivers. Be aware that notebook vendors have specific (adapted) drivers. (For test purpose disable driver checking by F8 when system starts.) 4. If nothing helps, reinstall and after vanilla plain operating system installation, install chipset -> video -> audio -> NIC drivers, then do updates (follow the system "request"). Operate system for some time and when the BSOD apperes, chances are that there is problem with another hardware (possibly motherboard, videocard,...) Regards Milos

Hi , Error 0x1E was reported in the dump file. You can check following: 1. Whether you have installed updates or drivers before this happened? 2. Scan your computer for computer viruses. 3. Update all your drivers 4. Test the issue in Safe Mode to check whether this issue is related to the hardware. Regarding the BSOD error code 1e, you can refer to Bug Check 0x1E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLEDTracy Cai TechNet Community Support

Hi,it is hard to know when it started happening as I installed all drivers and updates for windows on the same day; I built my computer myself. I have scanned for viruses and all of my drivers are up to date. Also it is really hard to test this error in safe mode as it very hard to recreate and is seemingly very random.

Hi , Since the issue occurs after installing the drivers and updates, make sure that they are all compatible with Windows 7. This BSOD is probably caused by the drivers, thats why I suggest you test the issue in safe mode. If the issue does not occur in Safe Mode, the cause can be the disabled hardware drivers. You may narrow down the causes in Device Clean Boot. Device Clean Boot ================= 1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter. 2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers". 3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties. 4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK. 5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices such as video adapter are not available to be disabled.Tracy Cai TechNet Community Support

The sound card and network card is built into the mobo. The mobo is also windows 7 compatible so I don't think it could be those. The CD-R drive though, I'll check that cause it is quite old.

Hi I have posted the direct link to the minidump file. Motherboard model: Gigabyte GA-800GM-USB3 BIOS: Award SOftware International, Inc. F8, 15/10/2010 SMBIOS:2.4

James I think you have mistyped your motherboard model. There is a GA-880GM-USB3 I cannot find a GA-800GM-USB3. Before acting on the advice that follows, please make sure that my understanding is correct. There are two versions of your motherboard, Revision 1 and Revision 3.1. Unfortunately the only way to determine which one you have is to remove the computer side panel and look at the corners of the motherboard. Close to one corner you will find this detail. It would seem that the drivers for both revisions may be identical but I have not checked all only those mentioned below. Your BIOS is the latest version. You should update to these drivers: Realtek Audio version 5.10.0.6554 dated 6.3.2012 Realtek LAN version 7.049.0927.2011 dated 21.3.12 NEC USB 3.0 Driver version 2.0.30.0 dated 21.12.10 Revision 1 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3412#driver Revision 3.1 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3809#ov On the Gigabyte web site is a link to Driver Agent: http://www.driveragent.com/gigabytepromo.php If you download and run the Driver Agent software it highlights out of date drivers. It is important at this point to appreciate that this service is provided with the intention of persuading you to pay for third party drivers they claim you need. However, you should take advantage this service as it helps you get a picture of what is out of date or might be out of date. You do not have to pay for a report. Payment is only required for the second category of drivers described below. Study the notes carefully. You can distinguish in the report produced which drivers are current and which are out of date. Out of date drivers break down into two categories: 1. Free files if you click on these they are easily updated. It works. 2. Files they want you to pay for. I suggest you make a list of these and post the details here. What it says about AMD drivers could be helpful. My computer has a Gigabyte motherboard and I have used this service in the way described. Hope this helps, Gerry

Sorry you are right I did mistype, also it is revision 1. No AMD drivers in the list, just a few misc. ones and the audio, LAN and USB3 drivers.

James Your comment regarding AMD was after checking with Driver Agent? Are you continuing to see blue screens? If yes please post acopy of the latest dumpfile.Hope this helps, Gerry
