Bluescreen of death! please help...

I get blue screen of death every time I use mtorrent to download files. It happens most of the time when I leave laptop for overnight downloads... never happened before, but I've a feeling it's network driver - anyways, here is the info:

022410-27003-01.dmp 2/24/2010 11:48:22 PM IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000a 00000000`00000000 00000000`00000002 00000000`00000000 fffff800`031fe477 hal.dll hal.dll+2477 x64 C:\Windows\minidump\022410-27003-01.dmp 2 15 7600


anyone? please help. I've hp HDX16, computer is 6 month old, and it had been working fine before... problem started yesterday after service provider upgraded my internet speed (fiber optic line).

 

I want to say it is a RAM problem....sorry....
Try testing it with this tool:
http://www.memtest.org/

 

Sonicjet
I tested using memtest (had it on ubuntu installation cd) - let it run few hours, no errors whatsoever.

anything else I can test?

I read that 0x0000000a refers to network card.

in Bluescreen viewer I see two files.

ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+71469 fffff800`02c1f000 fffff800`031fc000 0x005dd000 0x4a5bc600 7/14/2009 12:40:48 AM Microsoft® Windows® Operating System NT Kernel & System 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255) Microsoft Corporation C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

hal.dll hal.dll+2477 fffff800`031fc000 fffff800`03245000 0x00049000 0x4a5bdf08 7/14/2009 2:27:36 AM

And here is a dump file, I have no idea how to open and analyze it... hopefully someone can shed light

 

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL can refer to bad or faulty drivers. Try uninstalling your network card drivers, as you say the code refers to your network card. After that, reinstall the drivers, or install a different version.

 

Hi,

Pls read my thread (the same pb): http://social.answers.microsoft.com...e/thread/2136148f-6555-477b-b940-2467c2b62e41

also can read the intel comunity discussion:
http://communities.intel.com/thread/10055?start=15&tstart=0

looks like the wifi driver of intel is the problem (W7/64bit OS)

you can update this driver on: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...roducts&ProdId=3062&LineId=1784&FamilyId=1783

good luck

 

Not sure what driver versions you guys are using but I usually go to; http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm

I have 13.1.1.1 for the Intel 5100

 

http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm

 

I have the same drv version, on the same Intel 5100, since I install this version i got no more BSOD (more than 1 week). I continue to motorize the system

Happy Easter!

 

I also wanna confirm that I had the exact same problem as the original poster. And it has only been 2 days. But I have had no BSOD since I updated my driver from the place from the post above me. I was getting BSOD 3-5 times a day. Thanks everyone!

 

this means that the intel wifi drv 13.1.1.1 is an improvement, for the moment
glad to hear that

A newer wireless SW release is out. It contains a new driver 13.2.0.30. If possible, please update your wireless software. This build addresses some of the stability issues that you are encountering but not all. Please visit Intel support for download.

this release is not posted yet, probably will be soon

 

Try WhoCrashed. Should tell you what's responsible.
