Driver_Irql_Not_Less_Or_Equal (should be all in caps)?

Okay, this is getting really annoying. my computer randomly reboots. i can trust on doing anything longterm on it as it may crash. The error given when crash occurs is "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". When i reboot windows an look at the error report, i always get different files, but in the same areas. It always crashes over minidump files, and sysdata.xml. I deleted all of the minidump files and i still get the crashes. I cannot for the life of me find sysdata.xml. One of the error logs goes as follows:


crash 3:





C:\DOCUME~1\Luke\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER6365...


C:\DOCUME~1\Luke\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER6365...





sig:





BCCode : 100000d1 BCP1 : B949C758 BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000000


BCP4 : B9449920 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1








All of my crashes happen in that folder (WER6365.dir00)...but i cannot find it what so ever. It just isnt here. Another blue-screen error i get is complaining about the file "WG311T13". Ideas?





Thanks

sounds like you have an IRQ addressing problem


you need to go into each device in the device manager, go into the resources tab, and look for a conflict on one of the devices. (i'd suspect an add on card, but it's hard to say).


once you find the card, try reconfiguring one of the conflicting IRQ to another. It should fix your issue
Reply:The sysdata and minidump files are not what cause the crash, they are generated by the crash handling.





If no specific driver is being listed on the blue screen, I would first check the RAM for problems, download a RAM checker. Let it run for an hour or two.
