i reinstalled all my drivers for my asus motherboard . pc worked fine for a week now i get this error again .Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal . what could be going wrong.. thanks
Check your ram is (a) OK If you have two sticks try running with each one alone to see if trouble disappears. (b) seated correctly.
so one of the ram sticks could be bad i have 2 gig of ram this is pic of first slot and second slot is the same could i stick one of the ram sticks in say ram slot 3 or 4
what is your motherboard model number? I have a feeling that to get dual channel operation you need to put 2 identical sticks in slots 1 and 3.
by the way the board has on board video which i use . i never bought a graphics card . could that be some of the problem . thanks

I'll post it again I have a feeling that to get dual channel operation you need to put 2 identical sticks in slots 1 and 3.
That's right. I'm not promising anything, but on many boards that support dual channel memory if you have 2 sticks you have to put them in 1 & 3. Can't hurt to try it out. Also you may have to go in the BIOS and enable dual channel. Did you get a manual with the board? It should say in there.
ok i moved the one from slot 2 to slot 3. now when i open up cpu z it still says i have one in slot 2 . i did not go into the bios . under my computer properties it shows that i have 1.96gb same as i had before . so the computer must be seeing the rAM. ? do i still have to go into the bios to change anything
Well, you could see in the BIOS what slots are occupied, and if dual channel is enabled. You should be looking in your motherboard manual for this information.
The couple of times I've had that same error,both times it was a bad stick of ram....do memtest on it and see.....
