First thing I did was check the even viewer
It reported little more then windows was inproperly shut down.

Windows action center reported no problems.

Turns out It was a root kit.
after a few google redirects I ran TDDS killer
root kit found, removed, and no issues after that

Hi, I'm also having the bsod IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
I downloaded bluescreen review and the file in red is:
ntkrnlpa.exe


I usually experience this when I'm gaming.

Custom build:
Mobo : MSI 870-G45
cpu: AMD phenom II (Quard core 3.4 Ghz)
RAM: two 4GB sticks of G-Skill Ripjaws (DDR3 1600)
Vid Card: GTX 275 by EVGA

It bsods.. a LOT.
Need help!

Win7 32 only recognizes 3.25 GB of my RAM, could this be the main issue?
I just got an error from my last restart saying that my win7 isn't legal, but I KNOW it is..
I just purchased win7 64 bit, think that will help?
last bsod: 3/18/2011
also, I have all the updated drivers, i have swept and cleaned my registry, but I do have AVG, but I doubt that it would cause my bsod..
please help?

test your ram with memtest for errors. 32bit operating systems can only use max of 3.25gb ram
