| 686932 | 2008-07-09 08:43:00 | Hey guys, I've been recently getting the BSoD for the last 2 months.. Everything I've tried has just gone to another message... I am currently getting this one: IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP Here is a list of what I have done to fix the problem Changed out PSU to Antec 550W Trio Power from no name 480W Changed out Video Card from 7900GS to ATI 3870 Reinstalled my OS 5+ times Removed the RAID Array.. Put in a new Seagate 250GB Barracuda Installed Windows Vista 32bit, Installed Windows Vista 64bit (was running XP with RAID 0 and started having problems then) Reconfigured RAM, Reconfigured Power cords, Updated My BIOS Updated all Drivers to newest, and reverted to older drivers for my video card. Changed Keyboards, mice, components.. Reseated the CPU Unplugged Floppy drive and Extra CD-ROM Changed SATA cables and slots Things Yet to do; Change out RAM completely Change out CPU Change out Motherboard I have not changed the Vid Card to the lower Slot Quit using this DVD Burner I have (I've seen some issues with DVD Burners and roms causing problems) Configuration on MOBO. JUST The One ATI 3870 On PCIE 16X Slot 1 on top. Here is a spec of the PC AMDX2 6400+ Abit KN9 SLI (I've had for over a year without problems till now) 2GIGS DDR 6400 *Corsair CMX2 1024* (I have 4) Seagate 250GB HD running Solo at 3.0GBPS transfer ATI 3870 Other note, There is a power adapter above the PCIE16X slot that seems to be a slot for your Vid Card to plug into. I've unplugged it from the MOBO and have Plugged it in, and I get Blue Screen either way.. NO OVER HEATING ISSUES and NO Overclocking. What I am thinking, is it could be a bad Motherboard... Bad Transistors or something.. I mostly have the problem under a load of stress. Playing CS 1.6 I played for about 1 1/2 hours and it finally did the (lines in the screen to blue screen thing) What are your guy's opinions.. I'm about to just sell each part online and say eff it.. Oh,.. I'm running Memtestx86 on it right now..53% No errors. |

| 686934 | 2008-07-09 08:57:00 | Damn, I didnt write that down.. IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL STOP I think its the x000000a one. If I remember correctly It didn't show the name or a driver file I don't believe.. I'll look for that next time it happens. I'm on my trusty laptop right now.. I'm gonna let it run Memtest86 all night.. | Blackflag486 (13947) | ||
| 686935 | 2008-07-09 09:02:00 | Yup, I would check with memtest, see if any errors come up first Look in event viewer for the entry |

| 686936 | 2008-07-09 09:04:00 | I've checked event viewer.. Nothing super strange.. It doesn't really tell me much most the time. | Blackflag486 (13947) | ||
| 686937 | 2008-07-09 09:15:00 | So, when you say this 2GIGS DDR 6400 *Corsair CMX2 1024* (I have 4) Is this 2 or 4 GB? Or you have 4 x 512mb sticks? Because according to the FAQ for this mobo, Why I can't install the Windows Vista system with 4G DRAM? When I try to install Windows Vista on a computer that uses more than 3 GB of RAM, an error message that resembles the following: STOP 0x0000000A (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL You'll get this stop error (support.microsoft.com) Everytime you changed from XP to Vista 32/64 bit did you do a clean install or install over the previous version? |
Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 686938 | 2008-07-09 09:20:00 | Yeah, I know about the 3gigs only on XP and Vista 32 bit versions. I had been using XP 64bit for 1 year.. I switched to 32bit vista, then to 64 vista. I have all 4 OSs if I need to try 32 bit.. I have 4 gigs of the corsair 6400. Running 2 gigs right now.. They are all 1x 1GB sticks.. Always clean installs. | Blackflag486 (13947) | ||
| 686939 | 2008-07-09 09:31:00 | But are all (or were all of the sticks in before)?. Or have you only installed 2 and it still crashes? As that could be the prob, you need to install SP1, or the update, I posted in the link, to fix that stop error. If thats the stop error you're seeing |

| 686940 | 2008-07-09 20:24:00 | I ran memtestx86 all night. With 2 GIGS of ram.. I was also getting that error while running 2 gigs of ram.. It ran all night.. 13 times actually and It passed every time... I tried going online to get vista sp1 but for some reason it wouldn't let me install it, it said I had to buy it or something stupid.. Do you know a real link to download SP1? This might be the problem.. But what is strange, I had the same problem when I was running XP 64bit with all updates.. I think it could have been a coincidence... But we will see. I also switched the graphics card to the lower PCIX slot, and it won't install for some reason with ATIs driver.. I tried to uninstall it.. But Vista doesnt have a typical Add/Remove programs.. I found something similar but It didn't show ATI as having anything installed, which it is.. So vista installed its own drivers... I'll see tonight after work what comes of all this changing around stuff... I'm gonna look up the Abit KN9 spec list and board layout.. There is this strange POWER adapter built into the motherboard that is a normal size power plug, Its right above the PCIx slot on top, I have had the PSU plugged into it, and unplugged, I think it has blue screened both times either way. |

| 686941 | 2008-07-09 20:35:00 | That power adapter, is just extra power for a video card, it doesnt need to be plugged in.. | Blackflag486 (13947) | ||
