432285	2006-02-19 20:53:00	Hi, Occasionally when just Im on the net, although mostly when im playing Battlefiel2 2 (on-line), my pc ****s down and goes to a blue screen where it begins dumping physical memory...This is realy annoying me and I havent a clue what to do to remedy it! on the blue screen, the message reads: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL what does this mean and can i fix my pc? :yuck:	fent (9751)
432286	2006-02-19 20:56:00	Does the blue screen show the name of a driver at all?? What else does the BSOD say besides IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
432287	2006-02-19 21:31:00	i dont think it says anything about any drivers. It only says if this has not happened before then restart, othrwise run a diagnostic application, espacially a memory test. Ive got memtest, but im not too sure what to look for when i run it. And if i do have an error what happens? Is that a waste of the £40 it cost to buy a 512 stick?	fent (9751)
432288	2006-02-19 21:45:00	I think with memtest its meant to run overnight. Just as long as it doesnt bring up any errors, the ram is fine. If the ram is faulty, and under warranty take it back. Whats the videocard? Nvidia or ATI based? And what version of the drivers are installed for it? I would open the case, and make sure the cards you have are in properly as well. (With the system off). What u could also do, is get hijackthis (www.merijn.org) from here (www.spywareinfo.com) Unzip this file first, and run it then click on scan and save a log. Copy and paste the log here. There maybe other reasons why the broadband speed is slow / the PC crashes - ie: Viruses/worms/trojans.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

432290	2006-02-20 06:38:00	Are you running a hyperthreading CPU, since this entry C:\WINDOWS\htpatch . exe Is for SIS mobos running HT CPU's . Also, SIS-based mobos do lag a bit . The other PC here is SIS-based and can be slow as hell . Even with 1 GB . Just opening programs, there's a bit of a delay in opening programs, on the hdd . Is that all of the log? You've got nothing running when u boot up the system??	Speedy Gonzales (78)

The other PC here is SIS-based and can be slow as hell . Even with 1 GB . Just opening programs, there's a bit of a delay in opening programs, on the hdd . Is that all of the log? You've got nothing running when u boot up the system?? Hey, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you . I havent got a clue what a hyperthreading pc is, so cant answer the question! I ran hijackthis straight from startup, and have pasted the entire log below . Ive also started to pkay pro evo 5, which runs fine . But when i play black and white 2, it encounters a random crash at a random point in the game and closes down . I have all the updates etc, and am way way over the reccomended requirements . It just says windows has encountered a prob and will need to shut the programme down . I only mention it as I think this may be linked to the other crashes my pc has been having . You got any ideas, going from the stuff below, what i should do? Ive updated my drivers etc and i cant think of anything else to do! Thanks!

There maybe some adware thats installed, which will have to be uninstalled. Which maybe causing probs.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
