Tip 1 #

If you have recently added a new Hardware like RAM or NIC card printer or sound card remove them - restart and see if the problem exist.If YES the move to Tip 2#

There was a topic is some forum where  guy has the same error due to RAM mismatch because of different clock speed .If you have recently added a new RAM stick make sure that both are of some configuration.

My suggestion is to run the MS Memtest in extended mode or the Memtest 86 overnight and see if they report any errors in the morning.

Tip 2 #

Restart your Windows in the safe mode ( Press F8 durring boot process), safe mode has minimum number of drivers installed.Now Go to device manager ( Right click on 'My Computer' Properties > Click on Hardware tab >Click 'Device manager' button.

Device manager is a list of all drivers installed with in your system.

Now look for Exclamation mark in device manager which generally shows damaged / corrupted or the drivers for the device are not installed properly.

This will be the problem,uninstall and re-install (or update if the update is available) the problematic driver .

Restart Your computer.

Tip 3#

If you are using more than one antivirus or spyware programs uninstall all and keep 1 of your choice because. There may be a possibility that they try to access same work space at the same time which let to irql_not_less_or_equal error (in windows xp or Windows 7).

Tip 4 #

irql_not_less_or_equal in Windows 7 or Xp could be a result of recent windows update.Roll back to previous version by going to Start > 'All Programs' > 'Accessories' > 'System Tools'  > 'System restore' and choose previous backup date to rollback to previous stable condition.

Tip5 #

Overheating CPU can be a silent culprit some times. Reboot your system and go to your BIOS and check your system temperature. Check to see if the SMPS fan is working or if you are using Dedicated graphic card check to see if the temp is in limited range.

Remove your Graphic card, uninstall any driver to see your problem gone.

Tip6 #

If you continue to receive this error message, you may need to flash the BIOS on the computer's motherboard. Please refer to the manufacturer of your computer or the Web site for the motherboard for information about how to do this.
