dukee152 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 It does it when the comuter is Idle when im doing stuff so its just random but I think it might be my usb networking adapter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Are there any file names in the blue screen? It's difficult to solve this type of BSOD without a file name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukee152 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Nope no file names just DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is a driver issue, but the exact cause will be pretty difficult to determine without any file names. Does the BSOD occur in safe mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukee152 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I dont know because I dont normally use safe mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverTheBelow Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Put your RAM in different slots and see if the problem persists. Memtest does not always catch problems with RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 lol this is the same thing that is happening to my friend's pc. although, his pc doesn't get blue screens anymore. Update all your drivers, update your bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf68k Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Go to C:\Windows\Minidump There should hopefully be a file in there. If there is zip it up and upload it some place or PM me and I'll give you an email address you can send it to. I have the Windows debug kit that can tell me what's really going on. The Event Viewer build into 7 should be able to do the same but sometimes not. When you ran memtest how many passes did you let it do? You should let it run for 3-5passes. If you let it run overnight, while at work/school, basically about 8+ hours that should be enough to get 5-6 passes easy. As for the drivers, I doubt it's actually the drivers. It's possible that something in the OS fubared and the drivers might need to be reinstalled but if you've been running with it for a long time on the original chipset drivers and now suddenly bad things happen then I doubt it's because the drivers are old. That's not to say to rule them out either. More so the same for the BIOS. BIOS updates usually say exactly what all they are targeting in that update and usually it's minor things or a simple glitch that while annoying shouldn't be anything that would cause major issues. If there was an update that was need to fix a major issue then you would have seen that issue come up since day 1 and not X-number of months later. I will say this, in the case of your BIOS update if you started off with 1 CPU and then later upgraded to what you're using now and started having problems soon after that, then yes I would go a head and update the BIOS. And these BIOS updates were released in 2008 and that's the newest one so it kind of seems less likely the BIOS are the problem, but again I'm not saying to rule it out either. @OTB Memtest failing or passes doesn't mean that the problem is with the RAM itself. If memtest find errors it could be the RAM or it could be some other part of the hardware or even just a simple setting in the BIOS. Just because memtest passes doesn't mean that the RAM really is good or bad, more so if only 1 pass is run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf68k Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Got your dump file. My bad I should have mentioned to zip it before trying to upload it. Sorry about that. In this case the cause points to a file called WUSB54GSCV2_x86.sys and from what I've found this a drivers of a Linksys USB Wifi device. Uninstall the drivers and check Linkysys' website for newer drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 To do this, go to your start menu, type device manager in the search box and open that. Then, look in Network Adapters (it should be there) and right click the Linksys device, and press Uninstall. Restart the PC even if Windows doesn't prompt you to do so. Do some internet browsing (don't work on any papers for work or anything like that; you don't know if the problem will come back and you lose several hours' work) or something and see if the BSOD comes back. If yes, upload the dump file again and we see if it's multiple issues or whether somehow the same issue came back. If the BSOD doesn't come back, then reinstall the Linksys drivers from their website. See if the updated drivers fix the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 A. Download the new driver B. Save it to the Desktop C. Uninstall the current driver D. Restart E. Install the downloaded driver F. Restart Was that so hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukee152 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Thank you I hope this did the trick. Also if I bought a new socket 775 motherboard and kept my cpu will I be future proof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 No. AM3+ or LGA 1155 is futureproof. 775 is already obsolete man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vertical limit Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 What you have is called Blue Screen of Death, I believe. It happened to me quite a number of times, uninstall the latest unnecessary thing you installed 80% that it is the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way, the only games you can play are very old games I don't have time to list everything now but maybe someone else can help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to me quite a number of times, uninstall the latest unnecessary thing you installed 80% that it is the cause. Did you even bother to read the whole topic? Yes he knows what it's called and we've already narrowed it down to what the mini dump says caused the BSoD. You're reply is also most as bad as Slamman's pointless posts. @dukee152 You didn't say before that you were OCing the RAM. You only said you weren't OCing the CPU and most people don't OC just the RAM. They usually do just the CPU or both RAM and CPU. Try setting everything back to default, meaning no OCing at all, and see if you get the same problem. As for not being able to get online without the wifi; is that to mean you have no way at all to be able to connect to the net using wired/ethernet? The mobo socket type you have. As Yankee said, no it's not future proof, but if you want to replace the mobo you can get a new one easy enough. I wouldn't spend too much though if you plan at all on doing a complete upgrade within the year. In fact you do plan to do a complete upgrade within the year don't bother getting a new mobo at all. If you have to wait 2 years then I wouldn't spend more than $100 for a new 775 mobo. For Yankee's suggestion on parts, $500 can get you a bit more than that.

dukee152 Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 yeah alright I will set everything to default I re-installed the WiFi adapter I do not have Ethernet running through my house so I have no means of getting a wired connection.

Wolf68k Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 But the access point you're connecting to does have the wired ports right? How far away are you from the router? I'm assuming this is a desktop machine since you're using an USB wifi dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you leech off your neighbor's internet? I don't get it... if you don't have ethernet then how can you have wireless internet without a router? AFAIK wireless routers need an Ethernet cable to connect. The only other way is to leech off of someone else's wireless connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
