Hello there, this is my first post on this forums. I am here to ask if any of you know how to solve this annoying "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" error. I have tried numerous things such as formatting my hard drive, disabling my WLAN card ect. but these things wont work. Before the format my pc was on windows 7, please can you help me?

These are my specs, roughly:
Intel i3 CPU
4GB RAM
AMD Graphics Card
Edimax N600 Wireless Dule-Band PCI Express Adapter (EW-7722PnD)
140GB Hard Drive (Upgrading Soon)
GIGABYTE GA-H61M-D2H

Try the following, uninstall AMD Catalyst drivers then install the newest from AMD, also reseat (remove and plug back in) your video card.

Thanks for your reply but this didn't work, also The drivers are already uninstalled since the hard drive is formatted.

This error usually happens when its getting devices ready at 10% or something.

OK, then I would try and check your memory modules.

First check that the settings in BIOS are according to the modules you are using, second do a diagnostic of the modules to see if they are faulty.

Ok so I managed to install windows 8.1 by taking my network card out, installing it and then putting it back in but then when I reinstalled the network cards drivers, I get the error again so I'm guessing it's something to do with the drivers?
