Blue Screen Error Irql_not_less_or_equal

June 26th, 2010 | by admin |

Have you gotten a blue screen error that says the following:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_ OR_EQUAL

Typically what happens is suddenly you will get a windows blue screen (aka blue screen of death or BSOD) and the command prompt will read that particular message. Then your computer crashes and you are required to reboot. What causes this problem? It could be a couple of things.

First your computer may be overheating. Feel your computer (especially if you have a laptop) and check if it is running hot. If the temperature feels abnormally high it may be a good idea to get a cooling fan. You should also be running your computer on a smooth cool surface.

The second and most probable cause of the blue screen error Irql_Not_Less_Or_Equal is an issue with your Windows registry, more specifically the HAL layer. HAL stands for the hardware abstraction layer. It a process in the windows registry that communicates information from the drivers to the hardware.

When there are errors or corrupt files in your registry, then HAL cannot communicate with your hardware. This will cause your computer to freeze up and give you the blue screen error – Irql Not Less Or Equal.

While this is a very complicated issue, fixing it can be rather easy. You cannot do it on your own unless you are an absolute computer expert. But fortunately there can be a very simple solution. Scan your computer with a registry repair program that can fix problems in the HAL layer. I use such a program myself with great success. To fix Irql_Not_Less_Or_Equal errors and other problems simple scan your computer for free below.
