this morning i took off to fly vfr from the worlds greatest airplane collection heading north in the carenado 152. i flew for about 15 min and got a bsod.
it said
"IRQL not_less_or_equal"

OXOOOOOOOOA
(OX962B7B98, OXOOOOOOOO2, OXOOOOOOOO1, OX8O4DBC9A)

can anyone tell me what is the deal here?
 
If it's an IRQ issue (Interrupt Request) then that would normally imply a hardware driver issue.

Not always, as it could be an error in a piece of software calling a bit of device driver, but I'd start by reinstalling the major hardware drivers like graphics cards and RAID/SATA drivers and see if that helps.
 
Let me guess: Vista?

"IRQL not_less_or_equal"

Try googling that, you'll get an infinite list of people with the same problem and an equally long list of solutions. Seems to be a generic Vista error code.

Used to get a whole lot of those in the two months I used Vista; my 'fix' was to install Windows 7. Never had that problem again..
 
I had this problem with a ram stick. I changed the stick and the problem has never come back.
 
That is typically related to a vid driver..but as stated can be ram too...It may never happen again ..
It was very common with SLI setups a while back too...Driver has stopped, and recovered bull...
