hello everyone. i'm new to the forum. i hope someone can help me out here. i've been searching for a solution to my BSOD everywhere but haven't really found anything that works. here is my system:
Asus P5E vanilla x38
q6600 @ 3.3 ghz
2 x 2gb G.skill DDR2 1066 @ 978
sapphire hd 2900 pro 512mb 256-bit
2 x seagate 250gb sata 1.5gb (RAID0)
1 x seagate 750gb sata 3.0gb
1 x seagate 1.5tb sata 3.0gb
520 watt corsair PSU.
vista ultimate x64 sp1
ok. first of all i'd like to say for my overclocking i of course ran prime95. i let it go for over 2 weeks and it never crashed. i also run seti@home full time which can go for weeks at a time without a crash. but completely randomly, almost always int he middle of the night when im sleeping, i get 0x000000a BSOD. it does not list a driver or anything it simply says IRQ not less or equal. it always happens when i'm not at the computer. occasionally it'll BSOD nightly for a week and then it'll be gone for a month. i originally had my cpu at 3.5 ghz but i lowered it twice at 100mhz intervals to see if it would clear it up. no help. i have never overclocked my ram. it has always been run under its rated speed. i have also memtest'd it for a multiple days at a time and no errors come up. my CPU temps aren't amazing but they're safe. under full load it'll be mid-to-high 60's (celcius).
i'm assuming its a driver problem. everything is fully updated except my raid drivers. the p5e's seem to only work in raid or ahci mode with a certain driver without cuasing instant bluescreens when the HDD is under load. i have tried older drivers for various things like my video card and my audio. i even tried a newer raid driver but the computer is unusuble with any other driver than the one i'm using. i'm not the only one with that either its a fairly common problem i've read.
if anyone needs any more information i'll try to answer as best as i can.
i have attached my last minidump, hopefully someone can tell me what it says??
thanks!
