IRQL not less or equal BSOD error

[Fred Castellum]

I've been getting this BSOD with this error "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

STOP: 0x0000000A (0xFFFFF880143E2000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000001

, 0xFFFFF800033512010)" lately. 

I've been getting small system stutters where my keyboard and mouse disconnects and reconnects. So I decided to check for any shorts in the case or lint in the USB ports but I didn't spot anything. I get these small system stutters at the same time my keyboard and mouse disconnect. I reset the bios and since then I haven't had my keyboard/mouse disconnect or any micro stutters while watching videos. 

But now I get BSODs that either means ram instability or driver conflicts...

 

I have 2 sets of G.Skill Ripjaw X's both 8gbs however ones set is rated at 1600Mhz while the other is at 1866Mhz. I had em bother running 1600Mhz for a year not problems, up until I reset the bios. Voltage is fine at 1.5V and timings are spot on with specifications of the 1600Mhz set. 

Just ran a OCCT LINPACK stress test and got a error within 20m 38s of running the test. I'll be loosening ram timings again and seeing if it'll help stabilize the ram. 

Any ideas?

The first thing I would do would be to re-install windows and see if that does anything, definitely keep the memory timings the same.   Try reinstall your drivers (the latest ones) one by one.  I would also advise running a memory stress test with windows memory diagnostic tool on extended for about 3-5 passes, or memtest 86 for about 7-10 passes.

set your ram voltage to 1.65 maybe?

I'd like to avoid having to reinstall windows for now, I need all my software and system customization's for work. My back up data is on a terabyte external that I unfortunately left at someone else's house, it'll be at least a 7 hour drive to get it back.

Overvolting the ram doesn't seem like a good idea to me. That's been a cause of instability in many systems especially with something as sensitive as ram. None of the sets are overclocked in fact one is underclocked.

Alrighty so I've loosened the timings some more and just got done running a memory test for about a hour now. Testing is still on-going, no errors spotted seems stable for now. If it's still stable after 6 hours then I'll mark this problem as resolved. Thanks for the fast replies you two!

Cool then, hope you fixed it. I personally have run my ram on 1.65 volts without my knowledge ( I didn't check) for over 6 months before I went back into the bios to play around with some settings on my CPU overclock and I noticed it. didn't do any harm to my sticks at all and would have changed back if they didn't run stable at 1.5v anyway. (all 4 my sticks are kingston 1333s running at 1600)

Okay, well I would just do what your doing and update your drivers.  That might fix it.

Everything's running stable now thanks for the assistance, after loosening timings the mem tests passed with no problems and I'm not longer getting BSODs. I can work without interruptions now!

Awesome!
