Windows 8.1 crashing Drvr irql

I recently upgraded to 8.1 and ever since then windows has been crashing when I play games. I have tried to update my graphics drivers from the manufacturers website and also from Intels website but everytime I download the driver I "Need", it
says that it is not compatible with my computer and doesn't install it. This is very frustrating and I would like to be able to use my computer again without fear of it crashing all the time. Please help!!!  

IRQ errors are most commonly caused by hardware or driver problems. Downloading updated drivers is the right direction to look in. If you are experiencing errors stating that your system is not compatible with the drivers there are a few possible causes.
Verify that the drivers correspond directly to the components in your system and are downloaded directly from the manufacturer. This could mean the system manufacturer for an OEM system or for custom built systems can mean the manufacturer of each separate
component.
Verify that the drivers you have downloaded match the architecture of your environment. You can see the architecture of your system by right clicking the Start Button and selecting System. Under System/System Type it will show either 64 bit Operating System
or 32 Bit operating system. Be sure the drivers you download match.
Verify your operating system core files. If you have verified that the architecture, Windows version, and components match the drivers you are attempting to install, some other factor could be affecting the validation of your operating system’s configuration
during install of the drivers. You can run the
System File Checker (SFC) using
SFC /ScanNow or use the
Repair a Windows Image functionality of the Deployment Imaging and Servicing Management tool (DISM) to check your core operating system files for corruption or issues and to repair them if a problem is found.
As ZigZag3143x requested, with the dump files we can do more. We can often determine the specific driver or component which is failing.

  • Is it true that current version of Mozilla Firefox including its updates can currently cause Windows 7 and/or Windows XP to crash?

    I was advised in the first week of September 2013 by our IT contractor, that the current version of Mozilla FireFox (and its updates) is causing computers with Windows 7 to crash? (NB: specifically, we have Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1, 64bit). Is this still the case, and if not, do we need to upgrade to a newer version of Win7 (if one exists). Also, is there currently a problem with using Mozilla Firefox on a computer with Windows XP Home Edition, version 2002, service pack 3? NB: We have a server and our computers are on a network.
    Thanks heaps, as would really like to change back to FireFox when possible.

    That shouldn't be the case but most likely what I can think of is the graphics driver conflicting with Firefox. We can troubleshoot this issue if you'd like to.

  • I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini.  My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed.  So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone.  How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

    If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help.  Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive. 

  • Ejecting iphone causes Windows Explorer to crash

    Hi Guys
    After I've synced my iphone in itunes when I eject or remove the iphone from the dock Windows Explorer always "crashes", well it restarts and windows says there has been a problem.
    I've got the latest updates for both iphone and itunes. i had the same problem with vista as well (I know I know!).
    Any ideas about how to prevent it? Its not terminal just a bit of a pain.
    Thanks in advance

    I don't think that this is an iPhone issue. My wife uses Vista and a 3GS and doesn't have the same problem so my guess is that it's a PC config issue.
    Have you tried posting on a PC forum?

  • Windows 8.1 crashes when connecting to lenovo ultra dock 135w (Ubuntu also installed)

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T440s. It's partitioned with Ubuntu 14.04.1 lts and Windows 8.1. When I connect it to my ultra dock 135 w in Windows 8.1 the ThinkPad crashes with a blue screen. The error thrown is igdkmd64.sys and system_service_exception.
    This problem only occurs in Windows. I can boot Ubuntu without errors, but not Windows. Also if I boot to Windows without connecting to the dock, but then connect to the dock when I'm logged into Windows it also crashes immediately.
    I'm using two monitors, one with hdmi and another with dvi. I'v also tried with just the hdmi and the dvi.
    I have checked the forums and I've followed all the steps found in this thread http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T440s-Ultra-Dock-2-external-monitors-causin...
    This has not solved the problem. Is there a solution to the problem I'm experiencing or does the ultra dock simply not work when you're dual booting Ubuntu and Windows?

    We have been having this issue continuously as well.  Have been contacting Lenovo support to no avail.  Drivers / firmware are up to date, and we have 40+ users experiencing this issue.  DiplayLink drivers also up to date.

    Hi,
    If the issue still exists check in safe mode. If the issue does not persist in safe mode perform a clean boot troubleshooting to find the conflicting 3rd party software.
    Here is how:
    Step 1 Safe Mode
    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed. When you see this information start to gently tap the F8 key on your keyboard repeatedly until you are presented with the Windows 7 Advanced Boot Options screen.
    3. Using the arrow keys, select the Safe Mode option you want.
    4. Then press the enter key on your keyboard to boot into Windows 7 Safe Mode.
    5. When Windows starts you will be at a typical logon screen. Logon to your computer and Windows 7 will enter Safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you require, and when you are done, reboot to go back into normal mode.
    Step 2. Clean Boot
    You are required to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing this and then disable or remove it.
    Here is the procedure to do it:
     Clean Boot Troubleshooting:
    1. Click Start, type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
         User Account Control permission.

    4. Click the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All.
    5. Click OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click Restart.

    If the issue is resolved check which third party is causing the problem, referring the link given below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    8. Also you need to uninstall and reinstall the problem software on your computer.

    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
    10. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue. On the General tab, click the Normal Startup option, and then click OK.
    11. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Restart.

  • Compressor 4 crashes on opening keep getting this warning: The application "Compressor" unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again? Tried Restoring windows. It crashes again.  Tried not = Same r

    Compressor 4 crashes on opening keep getting this warning: The application “Compressor” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows.  Do you want to try to restore its windows again? Tried Restoring windows. It crashes again.  Tried not = Same result.  This is the first time I've actually used the app although I purchased it back in April (I think).  I had my first longform project completed in FCPX and tried sending it to Compressor 4 and got this result over and over again. 

    Steve,
    Sorry to say I've not had any success in getting Compressor 4 to work.  I've tried every suggestion mentioned earlier on this topic to no avail.  Compressor 4 is dead in the water.  On the last two projects I had to go back to Compressor 3.x.xx to complete the projects.  The only hint that I have of wha may have happened concerns something I did early on.  When I bought this computer I decided to replace the hard drive with a larger one.  Since I already had my software up and working on the drive that came with the computer I decided to clone everything to the new larger drive.  As I recall, Compressor 4 worked on the original drive but it doesn't work on this cloned version.  So maybe there is a relationship there.  I haven't had a chance yet to reinstall my old drive and see if C 4 works on it.  If it does work then I know the source of the problem but not how to fix it on the new drive.  Did you do anything like cloning your drive recently too?  It's just a thought and may not lead anywhere but later this week when I catch a break I'll give the old drive a try and will post my results.
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Plugging in iPhone causes my Windows machine to crash

    My wife and I just bought new 3G Iphones and got them all plugged in and started the firmware updates. Both of us downloaded fine, installed fine then mine rebooted and worked ok, but hers crashed her windows machine.
    Now as soon as the iPhone is recognized via USB on the windows machine - it crashes - BSOD's and reboots. How do I fix this? I have a macbook that I'm using for mine that I can restore hers from if need be.

    So it appears that Kodak EasyShare software was the culprit - I removed it and everything works fine. Now I just have to figure out how to make my camera work nice with it and then I'll be ok.

  • Option-close-all-windows causes Finder crash in 10.7.x

    Ever since I installed Lion last year on another iMac, and now on my current iMac, whenever I hold down option and click the red close button on a Finder window to close all open windows, the Finder crashes. It doesn't happen every single time, but enough to really make me angry.
    Anyone have a solution for this?

    Absolutely it's a Finder bug. It's been going on since I installed Lion the day it was released last year. My current machine, as with any Mac I've ever owned, is always kept up-to-date and I'm not running any Finder enhancers.
    What I'd love is if you and other people interested in this thread would try it out for yourself and see what happens. Just have a few Finder windows open and option left-click on the red close button on any window. It doesn't happen all the time. In fact, it might only happen the first time after a restart or initial boot. I'm not sure.
    It won't bring your machine to a halt for more than a few seconds and the Finder automatically restarts.
    Thanks for responding.

  • Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned ico in taskbar causes Windows Explorer to crash.

    Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned icon in taskbar (right click, choose "New Private Window") causes Windows Explorer to crash almost everytime, but not always. Very odd.
    Didn´t happen with previous versions of Firefox.
    Firefox 22.0, Win 7 Ultimate with all updates applied.

    Hello Paul,
    That's a very odd behavior indeed. All I can think of is that an add-on is confused and makes Firefox crash. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Windows Journal Keeps Crashing

    Just today my windows journal keeps crashing.  Every time I launch the software it stops responding immidiately.  I also can't use the windows journal printer.  Both of these functionalities are crucial to my use of my new computer.  I have a brand new Thinkpad Yoga running Windows 8.  I cannot seem to find any documentation on how to uninstall or reinstall Microsoft Tablet PC applications in windows.  I also don't know how Lenovo provides access to windows install media.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm a college teacher and the loss of this functionality has left me somewhat crippled for producing certain documents I use in my classes.

    This is happening to me too!  Very frustrating.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Microsoft community boards have been no help at all!

  • Iphone causes windows XP to crash

    Whenever I plug my Iphone into the USB, I get an instant reboot.
    Itunes 9.0.2.25
    Windows XP pro SP3
    If I uninstall Itunes, the phone is recognized by Windows and no crashes occur. With Itunes installed, as soon as I plug in my Iphone...the computer reboots.
    This is a fresh xp install, all drivers are up to date.
    I ran the diagnostics on Itunes, and of course..I can't plug in my Iphone to check connectivity. As soon as I do, it causes a reboot.
    Ran Apple Software update and nothing else is available for download.

    Any photos in your camera roll on the phone? More importantly, any that were emailed to you or downloaded through safari? If so, try deleting them.
    Also, read through this article to verify that the iphone driver/service are installed properly:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
    Also, I don't use windows, so don't know exactly what image capture program is used in XP, but try making sure that whatever program that is is set to do nothing when a camera is attached.
