Just had a bluescreen after a freeze up. Followed these instructions to access the contents of the dump file. They don't mean anything to me, but I thought they might be useful:

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: 0000000000000000, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, 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: fffff802016b3baf, address which referenced memory

Hi :)

 

Please try to update the driver using this tool from Intel.

 

Minidump points to the faulting disk controller.

The only update that the Intel driver finder thingy found was an update for the graphics card on the computer. When I try to install the recommended driver, it returns an error saying:

 

The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer.

Setup will exit.

 

The Lenovo website returns no newer drivers for any hardware.

A new bluescreen this evening, with a different error message. All I did was restart the system from the Start menu (nothing open) due to issues with the iTunes updater, and then it gave me the BSoD. Here's the crash dump:

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7a)
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in.  Typically caused by
a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
a filesystem failed to make forward progress.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff6fb40000030, lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
Arg2: ffffffffc000000e, error status (normally i/o status code)
Arg3: 00000001e4726880, current process (virtual address for lock type 3, or PTE)
Arg4: fffff68000006000, virtual address that could not be in-paged (or PTE contents if arg1 is a PTE address)

Hi :)
 
Most of my research points me to faulting drivers, either related to some security software or graphic card ones.
 
Download Slimdrivers to your desktop.

  • Install the app and on completion run.
    icon_exclaim.gif During the installation make sure that additional checkbox for installing My PC Backup is unchecked. This is an unwanted software!
     
  • On the first page select Start Scan:

    slimdriver.JPG
     
  • Once it has completed please tell me if any suitable drivers were found for updating.

Cheers,

Naat

SlimDrivers found the following 9 updates:

Intel HD Grapics 4000 - Current 9/15/13, available 3/28/14
Intel Display Audio - Current 8/28/13, available 2/19/14
Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB ... - Current 6/20/06, available 7/29/13
Intel HM76 Express Chipset LPC Controller - 1E59 - Current 6/20/06, available 7/23/13
Intel Management Engine Interface - Current 7/1/13, available 11/25/13
Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family PCI Express... - Current 6/20/06, available 7/23/13
3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller - 0154 - Current 6/20/06, available 7/23/13

Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Familiy USB ... - Current 6/20/06, available 7/29/13

 

Should I be attempting to install all of these? The full names of some aren't available, they get cut off in the window, but it seems like there might be some conflicts. I won't take any action until you get back to us. Thank you for your help. :-)

Hi :)

Sorry for a delay, back to normal life after a couple of free days so I should be present normally now.

 

Went once more through your logfiles... Did you run CCleaner recently?

 

Try to update the drivers one at a time, work with it for a while (watch carefully machine's behavior), then using SlimDrivers scan again and update the next one etc.

 

Also remember to create System Restore Point before every update (SlimDrivers should do it, but in the case it wouldn't... better be safe than sorry).

 

Cheers,

Naat

Yeah, we run CCleaner fairly regularly. Once every few days or so. Starting updating drivers with Intel HD Graphics 4000, because it's at the top of the list, although this is one that the Intel updater thingy said was out of date but when I downloaded the driver, it said it wasn't compatable with my system. Sure enough, once it tried to install the driver I got the same error message. I don't have the time before work to try another one, I'll move on to the next one on the list when I get home.

Tried the next driver on the list: Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller. No change to performance, and installing that one removed all but one other update from the list, so I tried installing the last one that was left: Intel Management Interface Engine. No freezes on that one yet, although we have gotten errors in Firefox that we weren't previously getting:

Warning: Unresponsive script
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: <<usually a URL to a YouTube video>>

I'll let you know if anything else happens.

Hi.
 
The unresponsive script error isn't connected with any driver updates. It means that your browser is a little stall (most probably because of limited resources).
 
If you are using CCleaner fairly regularly, my best advice would be to stop it.

 

Read below my canned for this kind of software:
 
Registry Cleaner/Optimizer advice and warning!

Looks like there's this kind of software installed on your machine. I really doubt it will speed up your machine's performance, but it will surely increase the risk to damage it. Without even the basic Registry knowledge, this type of application may bring more harm than good. There were cases when such software left PC's unstable and unbootable. Below you can find Microsoft statement and some wise people talking about Registry Cleaners and this kind of Windows tweaking:
icon_idea.gifMicrosoft policy for the use of registry cleaners
icon_idea.gifMike Russinovich (Microsoft)
icon_idea.gifMiekiemoes (Malwarebytes)
icon_idea.gifMacboatmaster (G2G)
In your own interest should be staying away from this kind of applications. My best advice is that they should be removed/uninstalled.

 

Now... CCleaner could mess something up...

 

All of possible driver updates were installed?

Hmm, I never knew that CCleaner could be so problematic; my techie friends and I have been using it for years. Is it just the registry fixer that's an issue, or should the cleanup feature be avoided as well?

 

The initial scan yielded 9 results; clicking on the graphics card download button reduced the number to 7 (somehow)(and the graphics card driver never installed, as noted previously). Downloading the next available driver removed all other entries from the list.

Being honest I prefer TFC by OldTimer to clean unneeded temp files.
 
For the reasons stated previously, I strongly suggest to stop cleaning the registry with CC. If you wish to stay with it, that's your call. Just bare in mind what those people said :)
 
If not the drivers, my best shot would be RAM. Windows 8 has got built-in memtest.

 

Go to Control panel and in the search box type memory;

 

Select the related option and it will ask whether to it now or on next boot:

- select now and it will reboot and then conduct the check
