IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSoD

[Mike P.]

Hey there,

Recently I have been experiencing occassional blue screens stating the error 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'. The blue screens only occur when playing games through the use of Daemon Tools.

The BSOD error is described as: "Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high." - Source

As soon as my system rebooted and Windows 7 (x64, Professional) loaded, I got a SPTD error stating that the kernel-mode debugger has to be disabled. Also, NOD32 (antivirus only) did not load and my audio was disabled on default.

I assume this is either a bug in Daemon Tools, a conflict with my anti-virus or a driver problem. Any help? Let me know.

Thanks!

You may post latest minidump (c:\windows\minidump).

Sorry, there are no files in the Minidump folder. I will try to recreate the error and once I succeed, I will post the minidump-- if it appears this time.
