Hello everybody.
one fine day i don't know when, a
BSOD with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL appeared on start-up

I'm using my alternate computer requesting for help. I do not wish to reinstall my HDD because i have not backed up my files in a while.

Microsoft explained my problem to be caused by a new driver or driver software uninstalled properly. heres the twist, i didnt install anything since last year.

please help, thx

Any installations may have included an update to one or more of your drivers.

It is not necessary for you to have updated a driver, for a driver to have been updated.

If so, good point & likely correct cause, but not worded clearly.

Sorry 'bout that!

Got sidetracked by the consuming of two homemade beefburgers with hot relish.

My fault.

You have two postings for this question so I will address just this one.

First - if possible, perform a XP System Restore to a date prior to when the situation started occurring. This can be done in Safe Mode. Access Safe Mode by tapping the F8 key repeatedly as the system boots up.

Next - Perform a full system scan using AVG Free Anti-Virus. If you have it installed, you can also do this in Safe Mode. If not, you can get a copy here:

If, on the other hand, you can't get to Safe Mode, let us know.

i've did countless system restores, but none have seemed to work. so i restored to when there was an auto microsoft upgrade and then disabled any further upgrades.(meaning microsoft caused BSOD) thanks anyway.
