System Crashing-Need Help

trekfan · 01-17-2005, 07:26 PM

My system will boot up and then it will crash to a blue screen that tells me there is a problem with a certain file.(It is a different file every time) At the bottom of the screen it says it is dumping physical memory. I just turn the system off and reboot. Usually this happens about every other time I boot up. Also, my IE will crash two or three times when I start to use it after I start up the system. After about three times it crashes, the IE will work fine.

Other than the boot up issue and the IE crash, the system works fine. I have scanned and there doesn't seem to be any viruses, but I don't know.

Any ideas of what is going on?

turn off the auto reboot and post the bsod error message you receive in full,
multiple different causes usually is caused by faulty or inadequate power supply

Also is your system overheating?

Have you run memtest86 to see if the memory has any problems?

The message is rather long. I forgot to turn off the auto reboot, so I'll do that now.
That last time it happened the error line was: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
It then went on to say that I should check newly installed hardware for problems(which I have not installed any new hardware in over a year) and if it continues, I should remove the hardware.
This is then followed by an error code and it then dumps the physical memory.

I do not have any overheating problems, and I have not heard of the memory test you talk about.

Thanks!
