676001 2008-06-05 22:08:00 I recently bought, and built (with some help) a custom PC.

PC Components Here
hybrid-media.com

I ran the PC with no problems all night. In the morning I wake to an unresponsive black screen. Hesitantly I forced shut-down.Upon attempting to reboot, windows loading screen appears, then I get a split second to see the mouse, then I get the following:

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
***STOP: 0x0000000A (0x7c90E430, 0x000000FF, 0x00000008, 0x80541890)

I cannot boot in safe mode
Note: if I remove the BIOS battery and allow it to reset, I am able to boot in what seems like safe mode.... grey windows interface. If i restart, safe mode then fails after that.

Since then I have tried:
Reset BIOS
Disconnected all USB/Firewire
Memtest (passed both sticks)
Switching/Swapping and using only one/two RAM Slots
checked RAM and video card for damage
Switching PCIe Video Card slot
Reformatted HDD and reinstalled windows
swapped SATA HDD with brand new SATA HDD
Trying Different SATA Mobo slots
Switching IDE cables
Removed new sound card
Disabled/Enabled BIOS onboard audio

I was planning to next try to boot using onboard video card... but it seems this Mobo does not have an onboard display input?

676002 2008-06-05 22:14:00 Whats the mobo??

What was the last thing you installed in the way of drivers or hardware?

It could be something thats listed here (support.microsoft.com)

676003 2008-06-05 23:04:00 well I dont know much but...

Drivers are installed/stored where?

If stored on the HDD... then thats not the issue b/c I tried this with a fresh HDD , never got to the desktop.

The only hardware in there is the 8800gt Video card.

676004 2008-06-05 23:47:00 I would check the specs of your CPU against the version of the BIOS thats installed. To see if the BIOS actually supports the CPU.

The BIOS revisions, that you need (support.asus.com)

It looks like there's 4 5000+ CPU's that match your CPU

Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (CZ),1MB,rev.F3,65W,SocketAM2 ALL 1102

90% of the time its a driver error.
10% RAM probs, which you have already eliminated.

676006 2008-06-06 04:30:00 thanks Speedy! Ill try that and reply.

pctek... doesnt the Driver related errors typically include:

"Driver IRQL not less or equal"

which (as far as I know) is different from

"IRQL not less or equal"

No.

0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Use the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above. Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)
