The message suggests that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory address that it did not have the rights to gain access to. When I looked under Task Manager this seemed to have no effect on the CPU however when playing the game it did not crash once when on the lowest setting, so I thought this may have been successful, but again when increasing the GX level, the game soon crashed.Īny advice on if anything I tried would have helped or not? I will try the solution posted here. The IRQLNOTLESSOREQUAL error is caused by both software and hardware issues. If the IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL error is caused by a current running process, restart your Windows system using the clean boot method will allow you to troubleshoot if a current service or process is causing the error to appear. If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL FIX VISTA DRIVERS
This is usually caused by drivers using improper addresses. So after reading this I poked around with the power options in Vista and set the 'Processor Power Management Maximum' setting to 50% hoping this would stop the CPU from being overworked. DRIVERIRQLNOTLESSOREQUAL (d1) An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. Part 5 Fixing the IRQLNOTLESSOREQUAL by resolving corrupt drivers: For the ones who couldn’t derive any help by resolving corrupt registry, chances are that the problem actually lies with the corrupted windows driver. I will certainly try those things thank you.Īs it happens, it seemd to play OK this afternoon, but that was on the lowest possible GX settings, and I tried to incrementally increase things such as the texture detail and at the first attempt the program closed after not even 5 mins.Īlthough (please bear with the explanation, I'm trying to make sure I'm understood lol) I read something somewhere that said about how high use of the CPU and the GX card can use a lot of electricity, causing the power to fail. hey m8, you better check your overclock more carefully, first revert to your normal non overclock configuration, with Cpu voltage to 1.3580 or something in this range, you could go maybe lower, but for all about testing, test your system on normal, no overclock at all, i had those freezes before, i even posted a thread here, and i found out they were the bios settings.
