    BSOD - BlueScrren Error BC Code a

    Hey guys,

    Today, I got one type of BSOD several times. The BSOD suddenly occurs; when my laptop is turned on (for a few hours), the blue screen pops up, mentioning something about 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL'. After the BSOD, Windows restarts, and usually just comes back to the logon screen. There's no specific handling i did which might cause the BSOD. I know this since my laptop was shut down or restarted several times today, after i left it alone for some time.

    This is the error report data i get when restarting windows and logging on ...

    Problem Signature:

    Problem event Name: Blue Screen
    OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3
    Locale-id: 1043

    Additional Information about the Problem:
    BCCode: a
    BCP1: 00000058
    BCP2: 00000002
    BCP3: 00000001
    BCP4: 82DD2EDE
    OS Version: 6_0_6002
    Service Pack: 2_0
    Product: 768_1

    C:\Users\Huub\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-1110274-0.sysdata.xml
    C:\Users\Huub\AppData\Local\Temp\WER2CAB.tmp.version.txt

    Files that help describe the problem:
    Microsoft Online Crash Analysis


    I havent (for as far as i know) updated or installed any new drivers the last few days. While google-ing the error 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL', i found most problems deal with bad drivers, and such. That might be the problem for me, but im not sure, since i cant remember i updated any driver lately.

    Furthermore, I have the idea my cpu or some component in my laptop might be getting to hot. I installed some temp-monitoring freeware program, and it showed very high temperatures, especially when i turn on winamp. I use an external USB soundcard. I also noticed that the BSOD occurs when my fan is blowing like mad man.



    Not sure if this is of any use, but this problem looks a lot like mines (based on the type of BCCode error): clicky


    Anyone has any idea to help me?

    In Control Panel choose Problem Reports and Solutions (type problem in
    Start's searchbox), go to Problem History, right click your error and choose
    Check For Solution. You can also examine the details.

    In Administrative Tools choose Reliability and Performance Monitor and
    choose MonitoringTools then Reliability Monitor (type Reliability in search
    on Start) . This list a chart of software installs, uninstalls, Windows
    updates, and crashes by date. See if your crashes started happening after
    you
    installed or uninstalled something.

    Re: BSOD - BlueScrren Error BC Code a

    dear guest

    thank you for this helpful sggestion. i found that before the crashes occured, a new driver was installed for my usb soundcard. i wasnt aware of this installation. however, several days after the crashes, i also did an update for this driver, manually. perhaps this got rid of the problem, since i havent had the BSOD the last couple of days.

    also, another thing which might have caused the BSOD not to occur anymore up till now, is the way i hook up mu usb-cables to my laptop. i always used a special sequence, meaning that i connect each cable to a specific slot, rather than just plugging them into my laptop randomly. since the BSOD error also seemed to have something to do with the way my hardware is connected to my laptop, i suspect this might also have solved the problem.
    e.g., if i plug in the usb-cable of my external usb soundcard to a different usb-port, i noticed that in the past the sound card didnt function 100% correct.

    is it perhaps possible that plugging the usb-cables to my laptop in a different order than usual might cause any problems?
    I have to mention that the usb-cables connected to my laptop in the past always were connected the same port, thus in a specific sequence ....

    C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini102209-04.dmp
    is a file of the crash. You can analyse it with the debugging tools for
    windows.

    or if you post it on a file sharing site someone may analyse it.

    If it happens again then.

    I don't think USB order would cause it but it might.
