Re: BSOD IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

What exactly is your Windows XP system CD? Is the computer a laptop or a
desktop?

My feeling is you are going to have to reinstall and then dealing with
any problems as you find them. There is a preferred sequence and perhaps
this is where you went wrong the last time you installed.

I have a BYOC about 4 years old. Pentium 4. 1 GB RAM. Audigy 2
sound card, ATI Radeon 9600 Video Card, Diamond Xtreme Video Capture
card.

I did successfully connect the main drive to my laptop and have been
copying files to the laptop as a backup. Have additional hard drive
and external hard drive but cannot access because the computer is
stuck in a windows repair mode and cannot get to safe mode to backup
data.

The odd thing when all of this was happening was I was getting "new
installed hardware screens for my VIA IDE Controller. Also had yellow
asterisks in Device Manager for multimedia audio controller (assuming
it was for the Audigy 2), multimedia video controller (assuming it
was for the Xtreme board), the firewire port (located on the Audigy 2
card). Whenever I would try to update the drivers for any of these,
even with the original disc or downloaded drivers from manufacturer's
sites, I would get "data is invalid" error message. That is what led
me to change the permissions on the registry keys. After following
the instructions on a number of websites for this problem I would
still get the BSOD problem with either IRQL_Not_Less.. or
Drivers_IRQL_...

I also removed both cards and rebooted and got the same BSOD
messages. I installed them on different slots as well with no
success.

Many thanks for your response.

What is your computer make and model?

What exactly is your Windows XP system CD?

Have you tried disconnecting all hardware except keyboard, mouse and
monitor?

Is it a laptop or desktop? Do you have a second computer where you
could install the drive from the problem computer as a slave /
second drive?

I have been getting a lot of driver issues, BSOD IRQL.. and BSOD
Driver IRQL... When I was trying to update drivers for sound
card, multimedia card, etc. I would get "Data is invalid" message.
I went through the registrys trying to increase permissions. Then I
proceeded to repair my windows XP and I got the BSOD
IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal Stop: 0x0000000A (0x805769AB, 0x00000000,
0x00000000, 0x805769AB) when the Installing Devices. I cannot get to
safe mode to disable hardware. I went to the MS website however, it
does not cover how to address this problem when repairing Windows.

I am trying to avoid reformating my hard drive with a fresh XP
installation, however, I think I will get the same error.

Any suggestions? This has been frustrating. I have been at it for
more
than 2 weeks trying to fix this problem.
