Help please! memtest problems, windows problems


Recommended Posts

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?

Whenever I got the "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". messge while installing pirated OS,it was usually a ram prob,have you run memtest on the ram from bios

Yeah, it hangs on test 8. 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?
