Right, so I've signed onto these forums to try and get some help with a BSoD problem I'm having. I've never had problems before, but since returning from a weeks holiday I've been getting BSoD every so often. It will sometimes happen randomly, but it will always happen when I try playing Team Fortress 2. It could be when i load it or during the game but it does happen.
I've got a program that lets me see my last BSoD and so I'll post what it says below. Other than this, I have no idea at all about how to start fixing this problem. I'm on Vista Home Premium 32bit, and the PC has been perfect for about 6 months up until this problem. The screen says:
Code:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.
The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ntkrnlpa.exe
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x0000000a (0xfefa813f, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x820848ec)
*** ntkrnlpa.exe - Address 0x82057fb9 base at 0x8200a000 DateStamp 0x49e0199e
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks
