IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL trying to play games.

[rockinstreeter]

Opened Blade and Soul, played for a good 3~5 minutes, got a blue screen with that error.

Will provide my dump file, don't know what else I can do. Can you help please?

Hi,
Make sure that you have activated so the memory dump file will be saved:
1. Open the computer's System Properties dialog Start > Run > (or just type in the start menu) >Type: sysdm.cpl > Press return.
2. Select the 'Advanced' tab.
3. Under the section 'Startup and Recovery' select the 'Settings...' button.
4. Under the section 'System failure' > 'Write debugging information' from the drop down menu select 'Memory core dump" (or similar).
5. Click 'OK' to confirm the change.
6. You must restart the computer for the change to take effect.
The computer will now write the entire contents of the computer's RAM to a dump file if a system crash occurs.

Then download and install free BlueScreenView http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
run the s/w to see if there are any memory dump file with errors, that suggest a Windows system crash.
The important info is: Error message and the stop error code.

If not, then run the computer until it crashes, restart and run BlueScrenView again

Best regards from Sweden

Check your RAM with memtest86

There was no 'Memory Core Dump', only:
'Small memory dump (265 KB)'
'Kernel memory dump'
'Complete memory dump'
'Automatic memory dump'
'Active memory dump'

I've installed the BlueScreenView and lists a few dumps that had already taken place. Both dumps list a Microsoft driver called ntoskrnl.exe.

I've tried multiple solutions to see if there have been changes:
- Updated BIOS
- Updated Ethernet driver
- Updated USB drivers

I've proceeded to get a new BSOD error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.
Now another one right before I could get to my desktop: MUST_SUCCEED_POOL_EMPTY.

These both also are caused by the driver 'ntoskrnl.exe'. Could this be an overheating problem? Perhaps not enough airflow within my computer?

Here are my minidumps: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3ua480h2g24nxhh/Minidump.rar

Run BlueScreenView and tell us also not on the Error message but as I said earlier the Stop error cod.
Ok I will check it, just wait a little bit....hehe

Ok.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Bug Check Code 0x0000000a Parameter 1 ffffe000`61e0eee8
Bug Check String : MEMORY_MANAGEMENT Bug Check Code 0x0000001a Parameter 1 00000000`00041201

Bug Check Code 0x0000000a
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high. This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses.
The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.
If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of Windows, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version.
Resolution

Bug Check String 0x0000001a a memory fault.

Ok Download and install ]memtest86[/url] on a DVD/CD or just a bootable memory stick
Run it at least seven pass.

Btw. Thera are no certain ways to tell exactly the root cause.

Thanks for the quick replies. I just want this problem gone

 

[Flyfisherman]

Unplug everything from the USB-ports - except mouse and keyboard.

Run the game again for a while and see if the problem occur.

I've actually taken out my extra memory chips. I had a total of 12GB and took out 4GB. Now I have 8GB.

Game seems to be okay for now. Haven't crashed through 4 hours with the game currently running. I will let you know within a few days if things are okay. Thank you so much for helping me

Yeah, it surely sounds like a memory problem caused by incompatible memory sticks.
When it comes to memory's there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Always install memory sticks from one memory kit. They are matched together.

2. Always make sure that the chosen memory's is indeed supported by the motherboard and its processor.
Different types of memory's, different frequencies, timings etc. the memory stick with the lowest speed will always set the speed for the rest of them.

3. Very important that the voltage of the memory are supported by the processor; meaning that a memory stick with to much voltage let say 1.7V when the processor spec. clearly says 1.5V - will damage and shorten the processors life span.

Thank you for your support! It has helped me track down the issue!

I haven't crashed since the last time I've responded to you. Things are going well, my PC is completely fine. This issue was fixable because my computer had originally been perfect until I decided to use my brother's memory sticks.
