riverscuomo Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Alright, I would like to thank you first of all for taking the time to read this thread, I appreciate it. I have been saving up money and working my butt off for about 7 months to build my 1st computer. Well, I POSTed alright, i got the beep i was looking for. When i went to install windows(XP w/ SP2) i got the same error 3 times in the same place and 1 time before. The error said "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Here is a link to a more detailed post at another site I ran memtest and every single time it hangs on test 8. I ran test 9 and 10 and they both passed. I saw other post's where people with the OCZ Platinum Rev 2 RAM were hanging on test 8 as well. Do you think the installation of windows was due to my RAM or due to the pirated disc i have? Should I flash my BIOS? I cant find out what version i have! Any help would be GREAT! Thank you so much. EDIT: also, emberassing as it is, i cant find which version of bios i have :confused: How do i find this? Thank you. Im going to try to flash to 310 and change some RAM voltages, what do you think?

I ran it about 7 times on test 8 and everytime it hanged, didnt say it failed, just hanged. I skipped test 8 and went to 9 and 10, it passed. I just hang on 8. EDIT: The memtest wasnt ran from BIOS, it was ran from a CD. My BIOS doesnt have the memtest in it, im getting ready to flash it. should i go ahead and flash it to the 310? Thanks a lot guys, it means a lot to me. Found out i had the 125 BIOS(1 something, not sure if it was 25 and im too lazy to go check again) i think im going to flash to 310. This is what exactly what i type in the DOS prompt, right? awdflash NF4LD310.bin /QI EDIT2: Sorry, but im waiting for the go ahead from you guys. Anything?

red930 Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 If memtest is locking up or failing you need to get that staightened out before loading windows. Follow the posts and try the last official bios 310. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
