Windows Blue Screen irql_not_less_or_equal

[emachado99]

Hello everyone! Sorry if there is multiple threads on this already, but earlier I went on to the internet just about to hop on to LTT when my computer suddenly went to a blue screen saying this at the top "irql_not_less_or_equal". Now this is the second time this has happened to me, and I am wondering if it's something I can help prevent? My computer doesn't have any viruses (already scanned with Kaspersky) so I don't know what else would be causing this? 

 

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit. Here are my specs if anyone needs to know:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5 4430 3.0 GHz

RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX Blu Black DDR3

Motherboard: Gigabyte H87-D3H

Graphics Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB

SSD: 64GB OCZ Vertex 4

HDD: 320GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM

Power Supply: 550 Watt 

 

Please let me know! Thanks

Are your cores unparked? is anything overclocked? are all your drivers up to date? what is the manufacturer and brand of your power supply? and have you tried updating your bios? have you ran a memory test? have you tried running sfc /scannow?  

 

sorry for all the questions but, have you done that stuff.  If not I would do it because that can normally help you diagnose allot of problems.
