    Vista Ultimate 64 BSOD

    Hello, i've put the finishing touches on a HTPC... with Vista 64. I'm getting a BSOD... after about 5 minutes every time. Doesn't matter what program i'm running, or if it's just doing nothing. I've run Memtest overnight, nothing there. Updated the BIOS and every single driver. Done the reinstall numerous times, put video cards in different slots, swapped the RAM, formatted hard drives, check for viruses, and sacrificed a chicken to the computer gods. I'm running the BIOS at fail safe settings, with no anti-virus software installed or firewall. I've downloaded and installed all important Vista upgrades. Not connected to the internet right now.

    These are the two most recurring error messages:

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

    I've included the latest minidump files at this url...

    What Happened to the old DataFileHost?

    Re: Vista Ultimate 64 BSOD

    The IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is most often associated with memory or hard drive issues, more likely memory. Since you have already ruled out memory I would suggest trying another hard drive, if you have not done so already. If there are still issues I would be tempted to try 32bit vista and see if it works there. Other than that I would try removing any unnecessary hardware, like tv tuners, modems, extra sound cards, just to see if that is the issue. You should probably remove those devices before formatting....

    Are you running the hard drives in some sort of raid? or is it just 2 hard drives?

      I know you have done install a few times, but did you install SP1 for Vista? SP1 has solved many many problems and is a must before doing anything else. SP1 could take several hours to complete. You can also download the stand alone installer that will cut the install time by 1/2.
