    Another problem... :(

    I have a problem with: e100b325.sys.

    I always get a BSOD, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    Its my Ethernet Driver as far as i understand. I have the most recent one i think. I belive my card is a Intel PRO/100 Ethernet. (intergrated).

    I have Vista 32 bits.

    PLEASE, its so fusrtating. :mad:

    It may be a virus... Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as e100b325.sys, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the e100b325.sys process on your pc whether it is pest.

    I would try to run a good malware program first if you have not already.

    in case that a particular file is suspicious, uploading it to virustotal.com may tell more. however, the camouflage note is a "universal warning", which can be related to any filename... so hopefully it's "only" a broken driver, not an infection.

    and, one more idea... besides what gerryf19 suggests, maybe also try asking the manufacturer if there are any known conflicts with the recent driver version and any other software (antivirus or whatever)...

    edit to add: i'd suggest to keep all related info in one thread instead of creating new ones - the information from the dumps may help someone help you better. :) so, just in case that it brings something relevant: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=359305
