I got the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bluescreen immediately after doing a Vista windows update. I had the exact same problem you described. I have Vista 圆4 Ultimate w 8gb ram, quad core intel, SB Xfi, Radeon 4850, intel chipset (p45ich10r), marvel on board nic, almost all onboard extra devices (such as soundcard, firewire, etc) are disabled.ĭon't know if this helps, but i figured I would add this since it seems a similar issue.

It is definitely not hardware related, nor driver related since i didn't do any driver updates.

I had a backup from 2 days ago and did a restore and its fine again now, but now I am afraid to do any updates in case this happens again. And i think it was caused by the recent updates. I tried disabling all non MS stuff in MSCONFIG and restarted and still same bsod, so i disabled everything in msconfig, and the computer booted fine, so it was not a driver, but rather a windows service of some sort i think. So i reset it, and it booted to the hit ctrl alt delete screen, and then a few seconds later i got the exact same bsod as you. i hadn't restarted it since the auto update). Then last night while I was away from the computer, it crashed (hard crash, no bsod.

I had woke up yesterday morning and my computer had restarted, which i found odd, so i logged in and windows updated itself automatically, even though i previously had it set to only notify me. Strangely I can still start-up Vista in normal mode with no problems, it I even tried safe mode but the system just locked up before starting. I tried booting using the 'repair windows' option from the boot menu again but I got the same BSoD error I tried booting from the Vista DVD but got the same error.

I then tried loading Windows normally which worked but there were just odd problems here and there, thing missing, settings wrong etc this suggested to me that the install was now corrupted somehow. However the system then crashed to a Blue Screen of Death, quoting a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error it does not quote any driver or file that could be causing this. I rebooted and choose the 'repair windows' option on the boot menu. After the usual uninstall and changes to setting which did not solve the problem I decided to go back to a restore point.Īfter doing this and rebooting (which seemed to work) I was prompted to reinstall some Windows updates which I did but after the install and reboot the system locked up before getting to the login screen. I had a intermittent wireless problem a while back which I believe was caused by installing the nVidia network drivers.
