Blue Screens, Vista 32-Bit. IRQL Not Less or Equ

Hi, before I begin, I'd like to thank anyone who can help for any assistance provided. This is my first system build and I've been running Vista for less than an hour (And it took about 0 installation attempts to do this), so forgive me for my lack of knowledge in this category. Basically whenever I try to install the drivers, I get a blue screen error that says IRQL Not Less or Equal. My system is as follows:
Creative X-Fi Fatalty Sound Card (The one with the front bezel and remote)
ASUS P5N-E SLI nForce 650i Chipset Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz, Overclocked to 3.0GHz with Zalman CNPS9700 LED.
2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 RAM, Overclocked to 870MHz.
eVGA 8800GTS 320MB Graphics Card, Overclocked to 65 Core, 900 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 7200.0 320GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Dri've
Samsung Write Master 8X DVD-RAM Lightscribe SATA Dri've
Basically, as I glimpsed through the posts I saw someone saying their 8800GTS conflicted with the X-Fi in Vista, so that's likely my problem.
Any time I installed the drivers, the blue screen happened before setup appeared to finish. Vista wouldn't boot after that and I had to use system restore from my Install DVD. I've tried undoing my overclocks but it does nothing... I doubted it would make any difference anyway though. I have no clue what to do to fix this, but if there is a possible way, it would help if it was a step-by-step thing because I'm unfamiliar with Vista, driver modification, or whatever else this will require.
Thanks again in advance for any assistance you can provide. I do appreciate it very much and am excited to get the card working again so I can resume gaming.

Ok, by disabling my sound on my motherboard, I successfully got past this error. But now I noticed that it's interfering with my Logitech keyboard and mouse set. Basically what happened is that they stopped working and the driver install never finished (It appeared as if that program froze in action), while my mouse and keyboard were rendered useless. I restarted and did a system restore and installed the drivers for my logitech set, but now it's saying that I have not restarted since installing drivers when I attempt to install the creative drivers, despite restarting several times. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks again.
- Beau
Edit: After reading some of the other posts in this board, I would like to add that I understand that asking for X-Fi help on Vista is like asking for help in New Orleans after being in Hurricane Katrina, but I really would appreciate assistance to help getting things working.Message Edited by Supercoolyo on 07--200706:49 PM

Portege R100 - Random Blue Screen of Death (IRQL not less or equal)

Hi,
I've been getting random "Blue Screen of Death" screens in the last few weeks. The error is "IRQL not less or equal" and it's performing a memory dump every time. If I get the error and try restarting the laptop after, I usually get the same "Blue Screen of Death" screen when booting.
I didn't install any new hardware lately. Last upgrade was about a year ago; upgraded the memory. I've tried replacing the RAM with a spare one I had and I was still getting the same error.
I didn't install any new software in the last weeks that would coincide with this error.
I'm monitoring the CPU temperature and I doesn't go higher than 48 deg Celcius.
I'm not an expert but I would assume this is purely an hardware problem ? Since I rarely hear the CPU fan, I thought it could be the CPU overheating.
But even after making the CPU fan run at 100% using a freeware called "Speed Fan" I was still getting the same random "Blue Screen of Death" screen.
I would really appreciate any feedback and help. I really like my R100 and would like to fix it.
Mark.

Hello, I have a Portege R500 and I am also too having this error message. I was getting a blue screen when loading the pc advising of a memory dump issues.I ahve replaced the ram inside the laptop and this has failed to resolve the issue. I am now having the error, IRQL not less or Equal everytime. I have run a memtest86 scan and this did show up possible memory issues. SO I have replaced the memory chip again. Still showing up as memory issues.
You have mentioned this could be a cpu or memory controller. If this is the memory controller can this be replaced? or would a motherboard replacement be the best option?
I have not tried a re install of windows 7 32 bit as yet, As the memtest86 program has identified possible memory issues. Please can some one advise if replacing the cpu and possible memory controller would resolve this. Memtest log available if wanted.

NB200 - Bluetooth BSOD IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

I have plugged my bluetooth dongle in, the hardware was installed, then toshiba drivers were installed.
When i try to pair, or send/receive via bluetooth i get bsod - IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL.
could this be down to the cheap nasty dongle i have (99p from taiwan off ebay) or perhaps due to the fact i seem to have microsoft bluetooth and toshiba bluetooth both on the laptop?

Hi
I think this BSOD appears due to software conflict.
It seems like some compatibility issue between hardware resources.
>There does seem to be alot of toshiba bluetooth software preloaded, i'm confused why this is, why would they put both on if they cant work together!!?
The NB200-12U does not support internal BlueTooth module but the software (Toshiba BT stack) was installed because its part of the image and the same image was installed on NB200 notebooks which were equipped with internal BT module too.
Maybe you should remove eh BT software from the system before installing this new BT dongle.

Windodws 8.1 - IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Hello everyone,
So I've been experiencing crashes with the error for IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, I have searched on Google for possible reasons and it appears it could be software or hardware related (notably RAM) but I want more experienced and knowledgeable people to confirm
the root issue.
I have been getting them sporadically like once every two weeks or so, this is the latest one (not sure when they have started but longer than a month I think?).
I have installed new RAM around three weeks ago.
All my drivers are up-to-date.
I am not sure if my BIOS is up to date.

Not sure if useful, but I have included an event log file: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5ne2bt9swc4qk2z/12-25-2013%20Crash%20Dump.evtx
Thank you for your help!

Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved.
If you dont know what it is you probably are not overclocking.

IRQL Not Less Than Or Equal To [ B.S.O.D. ]

Okay, I really hope this is the right place for help, because I'm growing increasingly frustrated. Where to begin?...
Ah, alright. So, I just recently bought this computer in Janurary, and it was working fine until a few weeks ago.I shut the laptop and when I turned it on, it gave me the Blue Screen of Death. I started it up in Safe Mode, and found that this was the problem.
" Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\032812-54335-01.dmp
C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-92992-0.sysdata.xml
I cleaned my temp files, but had to allow administrative permission to delete the latter. I'm not sure if I took care of the first one, but I went in and deleted stuff in the Disk Cleanup, and 'minidump' was in there...So maybe?
And I was hoping it would be okay. WELL, it was for an hour, but then I shut the laptop again and it brought the B.S.O.D up yet again, only with the IRQL etc thing.
I...don't have any idea about how any of that coding information, whatever it is, so...I ...Just have no idea.
Help. ;

1. Which computer? There is a label on the bottom.
2. Please attach the 032812-54335-01.dmp file from the C:\Windows\Minidump folder to your reply.

X58 plat RAID 1 data drive setup blue screens vista x64

Hey all,
Trying to set up a RAID1 data array (NOT my OS drive). However, when I try to boot into windows, it blue screens.
I've tried doing nothing but plugging the drives in (to the Intel SATA slots) and turning on RAID in BIOS, but it still BSOD's on me.
Specs are in my sig... halp!

Quote
And you really need to have a floppy disk to integrate the drivers during setup, even in this day and age where the floppy is... well, just about gone?
For Windows XP you have to either use a floppy disk or integrate the RAID Drivers into a custom made Install CD (with tools like NLite or XP ISO Builder).
Vista Setup can load the driver from any kind of medium (best to use an USB Flash Drive). As an alternative, it would be possible to use tools like VLITE to slipstream the drivers into a custom install CD.
Quote
what a drag! Seriously, there's no way to turn on RAID after you've installed the OS??
If the generic Vista drivers were any better, this should actually work. However, as you can see, Vista and its generic drivers are not doing a very good job when it comes to self-adjustion to the new controlller operating mode (RAID).
Maybe a Vista Repair Installation after switching to RAID Mode can help you here. You can try, but it won't necessarely help.
This is a Windows problem rather than a board/BIOS/Chipset issue.

Portg R500 - Blue Screen and keyboard mouse are not working

Hi All,
I am using windows XP, well I was not any more due to below problem.
Laptop blue screened and now any time it goes to windows xp screen blue screen comes and reboot the system. Its not working in safe mode at all. Keyboard any mouse are not working. I cannot even go to BIOS.
I tried to plug a USB keyboard but still its same. I cannot even boot from CD.
Please could some one advise what do I need to do in order to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Nysoh

Hey,
How you can test it in safe mode if keyboard doesnt work? I mean before Windows starts you have to press F8 key and then go down to select safe mode. Therefore you need the keyboard
In your case I would try to remove the battery and AC/DC adapter for at least one hour. Then connect both devices again and make sure battery is fully charged. Start your notebook and try accessing the BIOS setup and load the default settings.
If Windows doesnt start you have to do a recovery installation I think. Some Windows files might be muddled up

Latest Vista 64 bit drivers not install

It don't matter what I do, I cannot get the "SBXF_PCDVTBETA_L3_2_0_0000" drivers working with my X-fi Fatality sound card.
Things I have done:
Turned off the signiture thingy as per the read-me (both at start-up and premient way)
Turned off windows firewall
Turned off Windows Defender
No Antivirus/Firewall/Spyware/Adware protection
Run the file as a normal user and right clicked and selected "run as administrator".
Made sure no previous sound drivers were installed.
As soon as it gets to the "Updating the windows files", I get another box come up:
Creative Device Driver Installation has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avalible.
The only button I have is, close program, I click that and it goes to the audio console. At that stage I cancel the installation because ther sound apps dont work without the sound driver.
So I am left with a very muted PC.
My PC Specs:
Windows Vista Beta 2 5384
AMD Athlon 4000 2.4 Ghz
Asus Geforce 7800GT
2GB of RAM
Proacti've Asus A8n-Sli Deluxe Motherboard
Asus TV card
Creative X-fi Fataty Soundcard
Logitech 2. Speakers
Hopefully somebody can help me out with my issue
Thanks alot

Boot Camp will not support Vista on newer iMacs, you will need to upgrade to Windows 7. Also as an FYI there is a Boot Camp forum, you can locate it by clicking Apple Support Communities and then in the search field type Boot Camp.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A 910A, Vista 32-bit, will not connect via usb to my PC!!!

I used to have this all in one connected to my pc, until I was experiencing a few printing issues, so I decided to uninstall it! When I tried to reinstall it, the pc will not connect it. I have tried different ports and have replaced the cable, also downloaded the latest software and drivers all to no avail. I can connect wirelessly to my laptop, but unfortunately this isn't a solution for my desktop as it's not wireless, therefore it has to be connected via usb. At my wits end, please help me!!!!!
This question was solved.

Hello,
Can you try inserting a flash drive into one of the USB ports in the printer, to make sure it reads it?
The port on the printer might be what's giving you the issue. Also, can you try connecting the printer USB to a different PC?
Let me know the outcome.

HP Pavillion dv9810us, Windows Vista 32 bit, Will not start.

HP Pavillion P6115y Windows Vista 64-bit Will not power up.

The PC was running OK when shut down, when starting the next day it starts and stops continually. Power light comes on, hear hard drive start then power light goes off the comes back on. This continues until power cord is removed.

Hello PJ2497,
Many things can cause the computer to shut down after a few seconds. If you are not even getting into Windows then we know that your OS is not the issue, however it leads me to believe it may be a hardware issue.
The first thing you should do is open up your computer and clean everything. Ensure there is no dust and all fans work. If the computer is not getting adequate airflow the system may shut down after a few seconds to protect itself from damaging itself.
The next thing to do is try to isolate and identify the component that is failing it could be
1. The CMOS battery
2. Faulty RAM
3. Faulty PCI video card
4. Faulty Power supply
5. Faulty Processor
6. Faulty Motherboard
Let's first clean the system and check to ensure all fans are working to see if the issue corrects itself. After that we can start trying to rule out hardware components to see if we can identify which has failed and is causing the issue.
