IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL at shutdown
I am getting an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bluescreen error all the time at shutdown on a Windows XP SP2 machine. There are no drivers mentioned in the memory address given in the error code. I did try to disable all items in the msconfig startup menu, running in safe mode, uninstalling all major drivers and having them reinstall themselves, upgrading all drivers that I can find, and running system restore but nothing works. Is there any solution for this problem? Thanks
Re: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on shutdown
Since your computer has suffered from a serios failure, I suggest that you need to do a chkdsk /R for your system drive which is usually C: drive. You can try to open a command prompt and type chkdsk /r and hit enter. Answer 'y' to the prompt and re-boot. When your machine comes up, open event viewer & look in the application log for event ID 1001 (winlogon). Here you will find the results of your check disk /r (= repair).
