Solved IRQL_not _less_or_equal only when streaming (flash ?)

9det · Feb 3, 2013

ONLY happens when streaming (on websites like gamespot.com, where I suspect the streaming player is flash based)

Youtube works just fine (HTML 5)

Please help !

Happened again, oddly enough I could stream legacy videos in flash on youtube (no issues) but the moment i go on gamespot ==> BSOD

Your BIOS dates from 2010. Please check at the manufacturer's website to see if there are any BIOS updates available for your system. Also check the readme file to see if they apply to the problems that you are having. Please be advised that flashing the BIOS is a very unforgiving process - and one mistake can physically damage your motherboard.

We've seen a number of BSOD issues with SSD's. Here's the information that I've compiled so far:

There's not a whole bunch available to test SSD's. The "easiest" test is to remove the SSD, install a platter-based hard drive, install Windows and test for stability that way.

Here's some suggestions:
- Update the SSD's firmware to the latest available version (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
- Update the motherboard controllers drivers to the latest available version from the controller manufacturer (NOT the mobo manufacturer unless you can't find any on the controller manufacturer's website)
- Slow the memory (RAM) down to the next slower speed (I've only seen one person who claimed that this worked for them).
- Use any manufacturer's utilities that you may have. If you don't have any, then try this free one (I haven't used it myself): Crystal Dew World
- Update chipset and storage controller drivers to the latest available from the manufacturer of the device (not the manufacturer of the motherboard). Be sure to update ALL controllers on the motherboard!
....NOTE: Recently (Nov 2011) we had BSOD issues with the Marvell 91xx controller and an SSD. You may have to switch controllers also.
- Replace the SSD with a platter based hard drive and see if that stops the BSOD's. If it does, then it's likely that there's a problem with the SSD OR an incompatibility with your system.
It's my opinion that SSD's aren't reliable enough (with current hardware) to be used on a system that needs to work reliably. Until I see reliability I will not recommend, nor will I use, SSD's for critical applications.
06 Dec 2011 - This post tends to confirm issues with certain SSD chipsets and certain controllers - [SOLVED] cant find the cause of BSOD F4 - Tech Support Forum
29 May 2012 - The frequency of BSOD's with SSD's seems to have been decreasing over the last several months. It may be approaching time to re-evaluate my stand on their suitability for use in production systems.
10 Nov 2012 - I'm seeing an upswing in SSD errors - but most appear due to older storage controller drivers. I strongly suggest NOT using storage controller drivers that don't date from 2012 (if none are available, don't connect an SSD to that controller)
05 Jan 2013 - very interesting post about difficulties with the Marvell controllers even when not connected to the SSD drives: https://www.eightforums.com/bsod-cr...-pc-reboots-when-waking-sleep.html#post169956

This device is disabled:

Iomega Virtual Ethernet Adapter ROOT\ROOT&VNICDRV\0000 This device is disabled.

Is this deliberate? If so, why? Please either uninstall the device from your system or:
- enable the device
- update it's drivers
- disable it again (if so desired)

All memory dumps blame your network drivers. Please:
- download a fresh copy of the latest Win8 compatible drivers for your wired network card
- uninstall the current wired network drivers
- install the freshly downloaded wired network drivers
- monitor for further BSOD's

Do the same thing for your wireless network drivers as they showed up in at least one of the memory dumps.

If you have the Comodo firewall installed, please let us know (and uninstall it). Make sure that you enable the Windows Firewall after uninstalling.

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

Solved. it wasn't the SSD. It was the NIC that was at fault (oddly enough, ONLY when streaming)

Seems like Atheros 8131 drivers aren't there yet as far as Win 8 is concerned.

Solved IRQL_not _less_or_equal only when streaming (flash ?)
