I was having a problem for a few weeks with BSODs on startup somewhat randomly but occuring more and more frequently. The whole system would freeze randomly as well forcing me to turn power off with the switch. The system also was noticeably slower then before these issues arose. So I ran a memory test and it found no errors. I then ran Disk Check which found a few problems which it repaired, except one that it could not. There also weren't any notations for the time when stability started declining in the event viewer. I Did full scans with malwarbytes and avast and found nothing. These issues also never manifested while in safe mode, which I spent a fair amount of time in in the last week or so before I chose to reinstall.
So I reinstalled Vista a few days ago and the problem seemed to go away. Yesterday I had a BSOD on startup, and two today. The latest BSOD gave me a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL message. Unlike last time however I haven't had any crashes once I'm in windows, and the system is not slow. If someone could help me out that would be great, I really have no idea what the cause is.
Requested reports are in the attached .zip file.
Requested system information below
- x64
- This is a reinstall of Vista Home Premium, the 1st reinstall to date.
- Don't know if it's OEM or Retail, I bought it separate from the rest of
the components from newegg.
All components are about 2 years old, from when I built it.
Just reinstalled a few days ago, prior to that the original install was on for about 2 years.
