The files are not big, 284 kb each. Do they need to be zipped?

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 191.33 , NVIDIA Corporation)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

But about 4 hours later while in Chrome, scrolling thru a website, The system crashed. I got the blue screen with the following messages:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL
Check any new hardware or software has been properly installed
Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing
I shut the system off and restarted. I selected a windows start up repair option (windows recommended) which restored to en earlier working version. I noticed the Whocrashed software was not on by desktop, so it was a version earlier than today
When I restarted, got to this forum to redownload Whocrashed, but the computer hung up
When I attempted to start in the safe mode i got a screen titled American Megatrends
BIOS Version A06
All data on the screen for the computer looks ok except I got CMOS checksum bad
Press F1 to continue, Press F2 to enter set up
This does not look good to me!

OK that was one of the suggestions I was going to give, reset BIOS to default. Is the system time correct on reboot ?

I would like to try a clean boot to see if a driver is involved

Next we will check for driver conflicts

Step 1: Start MSConfig

Click Start, type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.

Step 2: Configure Selective Startup options

1.In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click Selective Startup on the General tab.

2.Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
Note The Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.

3.Click the Services tab.

Posted Image

4.Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
5.Click Disable All, and then click OK.
6. When you are prompted, click Restart.

Once back in windows does the problem still occur ?

The system has been quite unstable since installing the NVIDIA driver. The crashes are documenting a driver error somewhere. There seems to be an issue with a driver trying to access a memory register that does not exist or is overflowing. I also uninstalled Displayfusion as I was getting a message yesterday about not findings the US language, which was odd to me and had not occurred and was also a piece of recently updated software related to the video driver . I have followed your instructions and windows has booted up normally. The stability of the system has been quite random. Yesterday the system was up and running all day, about 7 or 8 hours before it crashed. We are up and running normally now, I will status you on how well the system runs today. I also tried but was not able to update teh BIOS. If I go to the Dell website and enter my service tag, and search for BIOS updates it finds one to download and install. I was able to complete the download but could not get the program to run, it would hang. Task Manager would show the program not responding, so I have not completed that task. In your opinion, should I flash the BIOS now that I am up and running?
Thanks for the help

A BIOS update is the very, very last resort. As here we are working with the very bottom level of the system operation, one small error and it will not boot

At the moment you are only running with MS services and drivers running, so if all is well after a while we will need to load the other drivers in batches to determine the faulty one

So far it's been running unattended for 2 hours. I will be doing some computer tasks - email, browsing so we'll see if it's stable. I will advise.
Thanks
