I think I have some kind of virus on my pc. After about 20-30 mins of my pc being on I get a blue screen which says:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"
then there is a whole page of info about it.
does anyone know what this is or why it is occring? im guessing its a virus. i've ran a scan but anything found is quarantined or deleted but this still occurs.
I tried a system restore and that never worked either.
Indeed. Years ago i often had this error on Windows 2000 pc's, often upon actually installing Windows. The way i got around it was to remove all PCI cards, install Windows then add the cards back in. But it's quite a generic error and as per dailun's reply it can be caused by different things.
Motherboard drivers are corrupted or damaged. Also, it can be caused, because of bad memory, or unstable system. Overheating has nothing to do with this.
