Savan Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I've been getting BSOD's overnight with the error Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal. I know that this error is indicative of an unstable OC, but the weird thing is that it only ever happens when I'm away from the computer for a while, like when Im asleep, or at school. It never crashes when Im using it. I have folding running in smp mode, so all cores are at 100% at all times, so load levels cant be whats causing it. Does anybody have any idea whats going on?

El_Capitan Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 You'd have to troubleshoot it. It's most likely memory related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddictedGamer93 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Ive gotten this before. And it is memory related. Run memtest and see if you have any errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savan Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 I ran 2 loops before and it didnt give any errors. but I lowered the mem divider and I'll see if that fixes it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savan Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 that didnt fix it. any idea how to narrow down the possibilities a little more? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Memtest will only find if the memory module is good or not, it won't account for how stable it is with CPU/Memory overclocks. Run 10 iterations of IntelBurnTest on the maximum settings testing all your available memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savan Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 that succeeded in making it considerably worse. it got through 1 iteration and then during the second one the system went down. nothing on the screen, just black. Fans were at full and the power and reset buttons didnt work. had to pull the cord out of the psu. Took the side off and inspected it. Couldnt see any damage. Plugged it back in and turned it on, all fans immediately went to 100% and on the back of my graphics card the led's that go on when I hit reset were all on solid. Shut it off, took out 1 dimm, tried again nothing. took out the other. same, took out both, same. cleared cmos, same. Does it sound like I blew the ram? or do you think its something else?

El_Capitan Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Sorry Savan! Take out the video card and use your onboard video if you have it. If not, keep the video card installed and use only 1 RAM module to see if you boot to BIOS. If you don't, keep trying with a different RAM module. If you do get in there, test the other RAM modules, maybe 1 did go down. If you can't get to BIOS, you might have damaged your video card (I hope not), and you might want to swap it out with on older card. If that still doesn't work, it might be your motherboard or PSU.

Savan Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I took out the graphics card, and plugged in to the on board graphics. I tried both dimm's in both dimm slots that I can access (cpu cooler blocks 2) didnt change anything, and the power buttons still dont do anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Something in the motherboard probably blew. Not sure what else I could suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
