Re: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL when using AMD Athlon 64's Cool'n'Quiet in Windows XP Pro. SP2 -

Recently, I started using Cool'n'Quiet feature in my motherboard (turned it on BIOS, installed AMD Athlon 64/FX Processor Driver from http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9706,00.html , and did the extra stuff as shown in http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=81429 since I do gaming). I also gamed a lot over the weekend and didn't have any blue screens from it. For now, I disabled Cool'n'Quiet due to this annoying instability. Any ideas why I am having this problem? My detailed computer (primary one) specifications can be found here: http://alpha.zimage.com/~ant/antfarm.../computers.txt ... Also, is it true that Cool'n'Quiet is stable? Two of my hardware friends like it and they always disable it. http://www.processlibrary.com/directory/files/ntkrpamp IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors are almost always caused by some sort of driver. In this case it sounds like it's part ofa built-in driver in windows (ntkeramp.exe) not functioning properly. I would suggesting checking out the following MS Knowledge Base article and try applying the patch to see if that fixes things: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929338/en-us |
Windows Update recently.

One of the posters pointed out that there may be some known problems
with C'n'Q in relation to dual-core processors. He didn't expand beyond
that.

Wow, that's a really long thread! This might be interesting to you: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896256 |
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=81429 due to dual
core and gaming. It seems like WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe is old
because my files are dated newer (probably from Windows Update).
Someone suggested it is memory timing and to take out of the other two
RAM sticks to see if it helps (dual channel vs. single channel). See
http://forums.amd.com/forum/messagev...4732&forumid=1
for the details. I am not sure if that will help or not. I will try it
when bored (don't feel like opening my computer and stuff).
