BSOD. i need help

[F1reFly]

Windows 7 x64 home premium.

just started today. within 4 hours i've had 3 BSOD's (irq not less or equal...blah,blah)
only think i was doing was browsing web.
My system is OC but has been stable for quite some time, just started this morning so i think theres another cause. I havnt installed any new drivers lately either.

This is what critical error Even Log says.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff80002aed917). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 041810-24890-01.

How do i open the DMP file so i can view more detail?

Looks like a driver issue. I would reset to stock clocks/volts and start testing.
Your OC may be stable, but if disk or memory corruption is occuring, you need to verify at stock settings.

ok, i'll go to default....but how could a driver suddenly cause an issue for no reason? everythings been perfect until today. this is so odd, all i've done in the last 2 days was browse the web.
i have Norton 360 protection.
what should i test exactly?

I would start with simple stuff. Run chkdsk on the drive and do a quick RAM test to make sure all is well.

when i get back from Ponderosa, i'll slap in my geeksquad MRI then Ultimate boot cd and get back to ya.
Though i'm wondering, it may be faster in the long run to just reinstall windows...thats what i usually do with sudden problems and is why i keep all my games and other files on seperate drive.

It's up to you. It may be something simple ,like a bad sector, and a reinstall would not be neccessary.

didnt come up with anything, though i found i have a driver not installed for something called a "co processor" and windows cant find the driver. have no clue what it would be.
think i'll just reinstall, this is taking too much time.

download the latest amd chipset drivers

 

[F1reFly]

i have intel, and i already installed those. i'll try reinstalling and see if it happens again.
*edit: guess the co processor was the NV chipset and somehow went missing. i wonder how it deleted itself? i had it installed before, anyway back to stock clocks too so i'll hold off reinstall for now.
thanks everyone

I thought you were talking about your MSIG65 which has and chipset AMD® 790GX+SB750 and co-processor has to do with chipsetdrivers

Thought so

MSI G65 also has an Nvidia chipset version, the full model numbers are different but still G65 series. I mis typed before when i said "intel" i meant NV, dunno why i typed intel.
