    Question I am about to lose my mind - - - - NTOSKRNL.exe, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_THAN ?

    Without jinxing it, my processor was broken. New processor in, all my old hardware. It has run 36 hrs without a BSOD. Before I would get one within 24 hrs. I noticed one of my CPU pins was slightly bent, I am not sure when this happened but I doubt it is the reason. It wouldn't run 3 years fine...

    Question I am about to lose my mind - - - - NTOSKRNL.exe, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_THAN ?

    I'm not sure if reseating will make much of a difference. When I used the new motherboard to test it was reseated then, back into my regular motherboard. I checked all pins and repasted it. I'm getting to the point where I'm just fed up now because it just doesn't seem to be solvable. Because...

    Question I am about to lose my mind - - - - NTOSKRNL.exe, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_THAN ?

    New RAM arrived yesterday, corsair vengeance that's on the QVL. One stick is dead, great start. I know it's dead because with it plugged into my motherboard, it just won't boot up. All of the fans go onto full speed and stay that way, with nothing appearing on my monitor. Put the single 8GB in...

    Nothing has changed in the house electrical wise. Its been several years since we had a new fusebox. I will try it somewhere else. I will try running safe mode after work today. See if it will still BSOD. I don't think the motherboard is the problem, as I still got a BSOD with the replacement...

    Question I am about to lose my mind - - - - NTOSKRNL.exe, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_THAN ?

    My 2nd attempt to complete this. I've uploaded new dump files. I went ahead and installed Win 11 on my 2TB drive with the SSD disconnected. During setup, I got a BSOD with the same errors - the earlier dump file. The 2nd dump file is from when I tried to write this post and I got the same...

    Question I am about to lose my mind - - - - NTOSKRNL.exe, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_THAN ?

    Thank you! This is the most comprehensive answer I've had to date. Both sets of RAM tested are on the QVL. I tested the same RAM on the replacement motherboard. Still BSOD. My SSD is a 2.5 inch drive. I've borrowed a 4TB USB hard drive from a friend to back up my 2TB. I'm going to erase that...

    Question I am about to lose my mind - - - - NTOSKRNL.exe, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_THAN ?

    Hi, I wondered if I could get some help with this. I have been through extensive troubleshooting using Microsoft Forums, but it seems even the agents/ms moderator experts can't help. Nobody is replying to me now. I am at an advanced stage of troubleshooting now, but I wondered if anyone could...

    Windows 8.1 and 10 Freezing - At the end of my teather and close to buying a mac!!

    First of all this is driving me nuts. I feel like I have tried everything! My PC will just hang whilst working on photographs. It doesn't seem to ever do it when I play Football Manager. I don't seem to be able to trigger it at a specific point. In the event viewer all I find is the...

    Windows 8 + NAS Drive Part 2!

    I previously had an issue accessing the unsecured part of the NAS drive from a Windows 8 machine, it would say you don't have permission and say a username and password is incorrect. Somehow I got round this by running sysprep and re-setting up the user accounts. But now I have another issue...
