IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

[Chris134]

BSOD. Ive had it with my GTX560 a lot, and now just had it twice in a row with my backup 9800GT. GTX560 is RMA'd twice. I have to make this short before it does it again. Any ideas?

I had that BSOD on an old notebook. My problem wasn't hardware. Reinstalling & updating every driver solved the problem. Time consuming & a pita, but it worked.

To rule out bad RAM, have you run memtest for a few hours?

I ran it on my old RAM and still bought new one, so i cant see RAM being an issue, i narrowed it down to a GPU problem, it still may be, i dont like Nvidias drivers...

Could be the nvidia driver not playing well with some other driver. Have you updated the chipset driver, audio, network...

Sounds like irq conflict, maybe trying to use same Irq number.

What OS?

Ill take a look into my drivers when i get the chance, very busy and should be getting my RMA back this week. W7 Ultimate 64-bit. Its the absolute most random times when it happens, usually.

Does it happen in Safe Mode?

Also get a distributed computing program from the distributed program forum and run it for awhile, but disable as many thing in device manager as you can so you can isolate the GPU.

And lastly, get a temperature monitoring program to make sure you aren't overheating and crashing that way.

you can use windbg ( Download and Install Debugging Tools for Windows ) to look at the .dmp file from /windows/minidump/ that will give clues as to which process faulted.

load the .dmp
type .symfix
then reload
then !analyze

hope it helps!
