Windows will crash to BSOD after about 10-15 minutes of playing a game, listening to music, or watching video. This started happening about a month ago. Up until then everything was fine. I though I found some people with the same problem when I search on Google, but updating their BIOS fixed their problem, it didn't fix mine.

I have updated all of the drivers I could think of and flashed my BIOS to the newest version on the ECS website (I have an ECS KA3 MVP motherboard). This didn't fix the problem. I also made sure I downloaded the Vista driver from Nvidia for my graphics card. I have also run a Memtest and had not errors, and I ran a video card stability test and everything was fine (didn’t even crash). I checked all of the temperatures on the restart and they are all in normal operating range. Here is what the BSOD says everytime.

Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Any ideas? I’m not sure what to try next. Thanks.

[Iakona724]

I believe I may have the same problem as you. I've only had vista for a coupe of days, so I haven't really been able to look into it, but I'll post back with more details eventually. I've had this occur once while I was playing music, and another time while I was watching a movie. I believe it may be a problem with Windows Media Center.

[Iakona724]

Update: Problem reoccurred just yesterday while I was playing music on iTunes, but I can't seem to reproduce the BSOD.

P.S. I have similar problems, but I'm not sure about the error messages, I'll post pics if I can.

[rydog420]

I found that if i disable my onboard network adapter the problem doesn't occur.

[Iakona724]

I FINALLY figured my issue out about a week ago... it was my RAM voltage was at the standard 1.8v meanwhile my RAM needed 2.2v. Since I've increased the voltage I've been BSOD free.

[HM9408]

Man, you are NOT the only one having thi problem. I have it too ... It happens SPECIALLY when watching Youtube videos. I'm tired of this. I thought it was my motherboard, but I'd just remembered that I have an ATIRadeon x1650 PRO, so I don't get it... Maybe it's a plugin in Vista that bothers with media playback. Oh no!!! It can't be because it also bothers (at least it's me) when I make video calls in Skype.!?!? Maybe it's just Vista going mad . Hope someone has a solution.

[Iakona724]

Read the post above yours... Raising my RAM voltage solved the problem for me.

[HM9408]

How can I do that?

[Iakona724]

There should be an option to do that somewhere in your BIOS

[HM9408]

Ok. I'll search for it. Thanks.
