BSOD Issue

[Starmonger]

I am getting BSOD. Please help me by reviewing my Debugging info, i can't really get anything usefull from it myself as i don't know what i'm looking for. My oc seemed stable for months so i don't think it's that, but it's still one of the possibity's. Other culprits are a new hard drive which the OS is on (it's a WD caviar blue), and a 'steinberg key' which is a usb protection device for steinbergs Cubase 5 software. Also i have never used vista 32bit drivers for everything, as before had used vista 64bit and xp 32bit. So it could be a driver issue aswell. so far i have updated my mobo drivers, but then got a bsod later that day, and i have installed some differnt graphics drivers.

My system spec is:
intel q9550 @3.8ghz
asus p5q-e
ati 4350 gpu
4 gig drr2 ram

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffff1e5a, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000001f, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: e1c8d246, address which referenced memory

Definitely looks like a driver problem to me. Is your Vista 32bit or 64bit?

 

[Starmonger]

yeah its vista 32bit. So all my drivers are differnt, because before i installed vista 32 bit, i was using XP and vista 64bit.

 

[Starmonger]

it's because i used to have vista 64bit for gaming, and xp for music making, but then quit gaming, and switched to vista 32bit for music making as it was the only way, one of my bits of hardware doesn't have 64 bit drivers. The ram voltage was correct, and i have turned off the overclock for now- but this BSOD issue is only happening every week or 2 it seems, and i was running that overclock stable for over 4 months now.
