hi, I just got a new desktop with windows 7 home premium. I formatted the hard drive and install Ultimate. I have been getting the BSOD average about 3 times a day. It could come from any time (playing games, surfing the web, or just copying files). I didn't really use Home Premium so I'm not sure if Ultimate has anything to do with the BSOD (but i highly doubt). My BSOD display "IRQL_not_less_or_equal" which i have googled and read many suggestion of how to fix it. However, most BSOD people were getting is from installing or booting up. I never had problem when booting up. My BSOD just comes anytime during my usage. I also tried to reinstall windows 7 2 more times and nothing changed.
I got some suspect:
1. My graphic card might be overheating since i have my wireless card right below it and cover about half of the graphic card fan (i haven't tried to remove the card yet because if i remove it i have no access to the internet. Is there like a longer PCI slot join that i can use as a mean to bring my wireless card down so it doesn't cover the fan???)
2. Drivers. As many people says, it's the driver sometimes. But I have updated my drivers as much as I can and I don't what else i need to upgrade.
3. Beside my wireless card being the new hardware. I just found out not too long ago from forums that my RAM can make a different too. But that's prob the last thing I will try since I just got this desktop and it's under warranty
I'm also using Kaskersky internet security. That's about the biggest software i have on it right now beside Firefox, Yahoo, and all the flash and such required for surfing the web.
I bought my new desktop with intel i7 and 4GB DDR3 Ram, so the fact that it keeps having problem just bugs me. So if anyone has any suggestion, I would really appreciate it. Thanks
