whenever i start up vista and log in, after about 30seconds i get the blue screen of death IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I have no clue what this means so i looked it up on the internet. A message board said test your memory, so i tested it with memtest86 to 15hours and no errors. Now i have no clue what it could be.

Generally a memory problem... either oc'ed to high or possible a bad stick .. try wih one at a time .. but yes running memtest would be something you'll want to do

Make a photo of the screen, there is a stop code which you can find on the MS site. It'll tell you what the error means.

Drivers!

I had this problem for months, my memory was buggered but after i got it replaced i still got the BSoD, i found out it was my ati graphics. So i uninstalled COMPLETELY anything to with ati and then installed latest drivers off the ati website. I'v had no problems since!
