Hello all,
Over the last week or so, I had been getting a Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal BSOD on my Windows 7. I researched many different fixes that didn't really work out for me. Since I was on the fence about upgrading to Windows 8.1, the fact that I couldn't fix this gave me the push to finally do it. Went through the install process fine. Transferred my personal files from my externals to the computer. Starting downloading necessary stuff (Chrome, Winrar, Adobe Reader, etc.). Finally, I decided to use Disk Cleanup to get rid of my Windows.old file so that I could free up several hundred gigabytes of space. That went through just fine. And then the BSODs started.
It usually happens when I start installing something new. It'll work the installation process for a minute or so, and then hit me with the blue screen. I know the problems are usually with outdated drivers, and looking at the DriverList that the dump gave shows that I only have one that is super outdated:
secdrv Security Driver Kernel 9/13/2006 9:18:32 AM
Unfortunately, what google searches I've done show that this shouldn't be deleted and should update with a Windows Update. This is a problem, considering that I have all the current Windows Updates already installed.
Thanks for anyone that can help
