BSOD Driver IRQL Less than or not equal to

I've been trying to install the 64 bit version of windows 7 rc. when booting from the cd, it goes through 2 loading files screens, then the black starting windows screen, after a brief pause it does to a blue screen of death. With a Driver irql less then or not equal to. and lists storport.sys at the bottom for the reason.
Ive been searching, and found in vista this was a problem with nvidia chipsets(i have), and more than 2 gigs of ram(i have 4). I'm going to try removing a stick of ram to see if it gets past it, but could there be any other problems causing it. I also ran the extensive windows memory test, 1 pass through it found no errors.
Asus p5n 32 e sli
4 gigs of ram corsair
nvdia 8600 gts
wd velociraptor partioned 70 gigs for w7 rc
core 2 due e4400 2.0ghz

What I can recommend is you keep the machine's config a bit more "simple" for the installer to be more comfortable with it.
Use an old systembuilder trick:
- remove all physical hardware devices from the m/b you can remove, make it completely naked
- start up the system with the installer with as little as hardware connected as possible
- when it is OK, shut down, add 1 other hardware piece
- when that's OK too, add another and repeat this cycle for as many hardware you want to connect
This makes it possible to diagnose on which hardware config exactly the installer fails or at which point you get the "irql less or equal" error.
Also make a note for yourself what your default BIOS configuration is, so you can play around with the options and later revert back to them.
Remember, this RC is a testing system. This is not the RTM yet. We should deploy it as such and only use it for testing deployments. As such it is great (and for free) - at least here it goes like a sun.

System reboots with audigy2 value. get irql less than or not equil. please help new c

hello my name is carlos
my system reboots at random (more in games) with audigy 2 value..
could someone please advise me on the problem i have with my new audigy 2 card. i would like to get it working and not have to get another card. i got this one because my onboard sound is so junky with midi music and has a poor s/n on recording. the blaster card seems to meet my expectations except for the reboots.
i have read on forums about this same issue with ati video cards in the 9200+ range so i thought that might be the cause but i went back to the onboard audio and the problem went away.
at random my system reboots. i get an error.. irql_not less than or equil or something like that and then it reboots. i let it submit to microsoft and they only say its a problem with a device driver. i have all the updated drivers for all my hardware at this point. i have all the windows updates as well. my xp is legal. i dont think its the power supply but.. could it be? the readings with my digital meter are normal. i have an older but quality digital multi tester. got it when in college. so i know its accurate. it reads 4.9 on 5 and 2.2 on 2. all this info because of the information i have read already. is the audigy a power hungry card? cause i dont get any reboots when i use the onboard sound and my ati video so what ever is going on it has something to do with the sound card.
i cant find a newer driver on the driver site for it except for the beta. so i assume there is no updated driver for the card.
i have a ups backup system. it has come on but it has never caused a computer hang when it has. its a 250 watt unit with plenty of battery backup. same battery backs up my ham radio equip. i am going to reinstall the card and see if in some chance it is munipulating the waveform to the supply. the power to the machine reads 22 volts.
i have had some issues with the power company recently. they had to do some major repairs because i was having problems with flickers. but they fixed... [Show more]

thank you for your reply to my problem.
sorry i missed that detail in my information. that is one of the things i checked. video is on 6 and audio is on 7. i dont see any other devices sharing those irqs in the device manager irq information. or any other devices on same irqs or i/o
before anyone mentions it i also have 3 fans sucking air. my case is actually an old server case with lots of vent holes in front and side. i was thinking of getting some of the slot fans and blowing on video and sound card. could this be the issue? the monitor app says my sytem temp is 82 degrees. 27 on processor.
i appreaciate the input. i ran it all night last night with nero media player running with visulations on. the music was still playing but the video was locked up when i checked it this morning? nothing but mushrooms on my screen from the visulation. i dont know if something happened with nero (most likely this time) but thats the first time that error came up. the odd thing about this really is that it may go for hours and not do this but it seems to do it more when we play demanding games. i ran the machine yesterday for hours on my inverter (ups system) from the batteries with no problem. its output is just a little hotter than my house voltage 27 volts and my line volatage is about 9. but it may reboot before i get this post completed. it ran without problem for 7 hours with all the major games i have until the batteries ran down. (two high capacity 2 volt deep cycles on the outside deck)its really odd. its almost at random. at this point i suspect that i have a power supply problem of some sort. im gonna get a new supply by friday and see if that hel
ps.
i have to wonder who makes the best supply? anyone have any sujestions? perhaps whats really causing this is the capacitors in the supply cant sustain a clean output with the shaky power supplied by aep at my home. aep says that they fixed the problem but i still see flickers. i dont have any problems with the power on anything else in my home. im a little particular. lights that flicker bug me. its not a serious flicker just a slight diming that i have tried to catch with a dvm meter and cant. i have a 350 watts supply but its probably not the best made supply out there. i bought it at a local place that sells off brand computer parts. my fault i guess.. i've had it for maybe 3 years. i had a supply go bad back then and ruin a hard dri've on me. im bad for giving more info than needed but im just a yacker. thanks for the help..

Three optical drives in less than four years?

Hello all,
Thanks in advance for reading. I have a MacBook Pro from 2008 with OS X 10.5.8. I bought OS X 10.6.3 and was excited to install. 1st try - optical drive recognized the install DVD, went through the motions of installing when after several minutes the computer went to blue screen, ejected the DVD, and the computer restarted. Ditto 2nd try. Went to Apple store for help on the issue, where the install was tried again, yielding same results. I bought a CD/DVD lens cleaner from Radio Shack, which did not help. 4th try on the installation, same results as before. I tried various DVD's from my movie collection and they played just fine. This is the second drive in less than four years to go belly up. I am not rough on my computer, nor is my workspace dirty. I'm perplexed though, because the first drive that needed replacing simply stopped working completely. That is, the drive was not displaying the selective behavior that this one is. After some time, I went back to the computer to try installing a 5th and final time. The DVD wouldn't even bring up the install window. The drive would spin for a few seconds and stop, this cycle repeating maybe three times before ejecting the media. I'm stumped - though admittedly, it doesn't take long to exhaust my knowledge as regards computer stuff. Does anyone have experience or suggestions about this? Am I going to have to suck it up and buy a third optical drive?

How do I move a 150GB iPhoto library out of a DMG on my external drive in less than a day?

Presently I have the 150 GB iPhoto Library in a DMG on External Drive (ED). I want to now move it out of the dmg into a folder from where it will be used.
It took about 2 hours to move DMG from Mac to ED via Ethernet cable.
I have iPhoto 09, MAC OS 10.6.8, 3TB WD My Cloud (ED).
Tried DMG as the copy kept failing 2-3 hours into it.
As I attempt to move the folder from DMG to another folder on the ED it is telling me 60+ hours.
When I created the DMG it estimated 2 hours and comleted in less.
Is there some specific manner or steps that need to be taken to quickly move this iPhoto library from DMG?
The DMG contains a single folder which shows the Iphoto Library

This copy is being done by the Finder and not iPhoto, so the best place to ask would be the Using Mac OS X forum for your version fo the OS. As a general comment: the FInder is hopeless at estimating the time a job will take and I know of no way to speed it up.

Macintosh Hard Drive capacity less than its supposed to be?

Hello.
I just bought a Macbook pro 13" (2010) and I noticed that for example a file that on a dvd a usb or a pc hard drive is 700 MB, when I transfer it to my Macbook Pro's HD it suddenly takes around 735 MB. It happens with all the files so far that Iv transfered so far.
Also I noticed that if I'm going to burn a folder from my Mac HD that apparently weights, for example 1000 MB, to a dvd, when I actually burn it it ends ups weighting only about 900 MB on the DVD.
*It seems that files on my Mac HD weight more that they actually do, thus it seems as if the 250 Gygas my HD has are actully just like 200 Gygas.**
Is this normal, does it also happen to you guys??
Thanks.

Hi DanielSarmiento,
It sounds like it's the whole 1024MB = 1.0GB differential, aka base 10.

Synatax Query - Less than or Equal to

Running on Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP
I have an issue with a date query - possibly created by the
MySQL format YYYY-MM-DD
I want to create a recordset where activities are less than
or equal to today's date.
I've managed most of it but the result seems only to show
less than and not less than and equal to.
This is the part of the query that is in question:
CONTNOTES.ACTDATE<='coldatetil'
I have tried =< without success
Any ideas?

That's pretty much what the core of mine is:
SELECT CONTNOTES.ACTDATE, CONTACTS.CONTACTID, CONTACTS.LOGO,
CONTACTS.COMPANY, CONTACTS.FULLNAME, CONTNOTES.NOTEUSER,
CONTNOTES.STAGE, CONTNOTES.TYPE, CONTNOTES.NOTE, CONTNOTES.VALUE,
CONTNOTES.COMPLETED
FROM CONTACTS INNER JOIN CONTNOTES ON CONTACTS.CONTACTID =
CONTNOTES.NOTESCONTACTID
WHERE CONTNOTES.NOTEUSER='coluser' AND
(CONTNOTES.ACTDATE<='coldatetil' OR CONTNOTES.ACTDATE is null)
AND CONTNOTES.TYPE <>'10 note' AND CONTNOTES.COMPLETED=False
ORDER BY CONTNOTES.ACTDATE DESC
And yet it still only seems to return the less than part of
<=

2 dead harddrives in less than 2 years.

Hi all,
My hard drive died 2 days ago (blinking folder at startup), but the problem is, it's the SECOND hard drive that has failed in my Macbook. My most recent hard drive is less than a year old, so I'm now wondering if there is something fundamentally wrong with my Macbook hardware, and not just bad luck with hard drives.
I know there were known issues with the first revision Macbook and the OEM hard drive, but I was hoping that my current drive would have lasted more than 9 months. (And I do believe that the drive is under warranty... but that's another issue)
Any help would be greatly appreciatled...

Running 1 gig of RAM, and haven't installed either bootcamp nor parallels/fusion on the computer... the hard drive just stopped spinning during normal daily use....
I was doing a little web browsing, listening to music, when everything just stopped working. I couldn't forcequit anything, and the keys and mouse (no pinwheel) were unresponsive. The my caps and num-lock buttons would turn on/off... but nothing else worked...

My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app?

My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app? Or would it be untraceable after it was wiped? I had alot of special things on my laptop, and I would hate it if I didn't find it, so I'm hoping it wasn't wiped and I will be able to find it soon, HELP ME IF YOU CAN PLEASE! ANYTHING HELPS!

If that drive was erased, you should have received a confirmation email.

How to use not less than or equal to in condition

I written a querry based on the below condition in sql querry
b.key <= a.key
Based on this it will return records.
I need remaining records that not satisfy the above condition.
That means not less than or equal to records...

Less than or Equal to Variable on Calquarter is not working in Webi

Hi Guru,
I have Variable on Calquarter which brings the query result for all the cal quarters which are LESS THAN or EQUAL to entered one.
But, when we execute the Webi Report of this Bex Query, we get data for all the Calquarters in the infoprovider.
Its a "Single Value, Optional" variable with operand as LE.
Thanks in advance,
Deepak Jain

In BEx side, calquarter is mapped as key or text?
Maybe it is mapped as text and the variable in BO doesn't work correctly.

Windows update causing BSOD in my new B50-30 with DRIVER-IRQL error

Hi folks - I'm really hoping someone else has found a way to deal with a similar issue.
I bought a b50-30 about three weeks ago, and everything has been fine until the latest rounds of Windows updates. During the normal update blue screen, It got stuck (I gave it 24 hours just in case!) on "update 5 of 31", so I eventually had to force restart. That led to a blue screen with the annoying smiley emoticon for a frown, and it claimed to be "collecting some error I fo and then we'll restart for you" but it showed a 0% progress reading, which didn't change during the 12 hours I (patiently) let it run. The specific error message was DRIVER-IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL. Eventually I force-restarted a second time and went into Safe Mode, and the updates appeared to restart and make progress. Eventually the computer started normally again. Victory?
All was fine for a week, and then the bloody thing got stuck on the next round of infernal Windows updates, this time not getting past "28 of 61 updates". When I force restart, I get the BSOD with the same DRIVER-IRQL error message and the same 0% progress reading that won't make progress no matter how long I leave it. Unfortunately, this time, opening in safe mode won't work for me, as it merely brings me back to the identical BSOD screen. Now I have no way to restart the bloody thing at all (other than going for a full recovery, which I'm hoping to be able to avoid). I also tried the "refresh" function, which went through the percentage progress fully, but resulted in the same BSOD. Interestingly, it won't allow me to "restore".
Does anyone have any brilliant advice, other than throwing it out a window and never buying either Lenovo or Windows again?
Thanks all

hi Arie,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you;re able to see the SSD in the BIOS and/or see it under Disk Management while using the stock HDD then you may want to consider the following:
1. Boot from the stock HDD and update the BIOS
BIOS Update Utility - Ideapad 305-15IBY, Lenovo B40-30, B50-30, B50-30 touch, E40-30 Laptops
2. Update the SSD's firmware to MU02 (latest as of this writing).
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
3. Using the stock HDD, connect the Crucial SSD and convert the volume to MBR first to see if there's a compatibility using the drive as GPT.
If none of the above methods works then there's likely a compatibility issue with the SSD's controller and/or the BIOS (similar to this thread). In this case, consider using a different brand (e.g., Samsung) and observe.

Don't know why, but the "maximum heap size: 267380736 bytes" value is just slightly less than 256*1024*1024, wheras the reported initial size is equal to that.
Try setting the initial value to 255MB.

MacBook pro 13" 2010 hard drive died in less than 2 months, what to do

Hey apple forums, ran into issues today and I want to know how to handle the situation. I bought a MacBook pro 13" (2010) model on may 1st 2010, it died 9 days latter, best buy replaced it free of charge (even though I had to fight them to do so) this next one ran fine from may 9th 2010 to June 22 2010, just shy of two months. What happened? The **** hard drive died (which by the way is a crappy seagate, I only buy western digital drives as they have NEVER failed me in the 10 years I have used them). The way i know this is because I am a pc repair technician and have run diagnostics and they all say drive is dead. When boot up (or attempt) the apple logo pops up and shows a progress bar (which I have never seen before) it stays on for 10 seconds and then disappears, then the normal circle loading animation begins, then my MacBook pro starts getting ridiculously hot and never loads up Mac os x 10.6.4. I am then forced to hold the power button for 10 seconds to kill the power. I can boot into windows 7 which tells me that it is strongly recommended to perform a disk check which hangs midway, or if I cancel it before it starts I can boot in to a working copy of windows 7. If I access or attach a external hard drive I get a blue screen that says "applehfs.dll" is the cause of the blue screen.
I did force boot the Mac os x install DVD and used the disk utility to first verify permissions and it came up with god knows how many errors, but won't let me repair permissions (it is grey out). So I proceed to do a disk volume check, it stops and says it is strongly recommended to backup as many files as possible and reformat the hard drive. I do have the equipment to recover data, however my concern is getting the hard drive replaced under warranty. Being a it support personnel I need my computer asap, it isn't my problem that the hard drive died so I am not going to just buy a new one, how does apple go about replacing NOT repairing the hard drive.
This is what I want, go to the apple store with my Macbook pro and my craftsman set of #000 screw drivers and take the hard drive out myself, hand the hard drive to the "genius" (which by the way are un qualified in my opinion to service my $1200 Macbook pro, as they scratched my first MacBook pro, and stripped the screws. Sorry Apple but you lost my trust). Have the genius hand me a replacement hard drive, I place that back into my MacBook pro and be on my merry way home to reinstall all of my programs and restore my data.
Is this a reasonable request and do you think apple will give me a hard time?
Thanks to all the help,
Jakthebomb

No, that isn't a reasonable request, and it's not going to happen that way. If you want Apple to warrant your new drive, Apple will insist on installing it. If you want to choose your new hard drive, you'll have to buy and install it at your own expense. Given your impatience, your prejudices, and your low opinion of Apple service, that's certainly what you should do. In addition to getting your preferred drive and installing it on your own schedule, you'll get a much longer warranty than Apple would give you on it, and you'll get to keep the old drive to recover data from it if necessary (Apple would keep it if they replaced it.) Installing a new drive yourself will have no effect on the Apple warranty covering the rest of the machine, and being an IT professional, you can probably buy a new hard drive for even less than we ordinary mortals pay for them nowadays.
So yes, Apple owes you a new drive, but if you can't accept the terms on which Apple will provide it, by all means just buy and install one yourself and get on with your life.
