Just recently installed Vista 64 on a brand new computer. It runs great, except for once, maybe twice, a day, it gives me a "IRQL_not_less_or_equal" BSOD. From looking around, there are many causes for this BSOD. However, I can't seem to pinpoint my problem. My CPU temp is fine, I ran memtest for 4 hours without an error, I have all my drivers updated to the best of my knowledge, I reinstalled Vista twice, still getting blue screened once or twice a day.

Anyone know more about this blue screen?

Also, I was able to run the dump file through the debugger, and I got this:

*******************************************************************************

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000001, bitfield :
	bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
	bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff80001c6b8d1, address which referenced memory

So, if I interpreted this correctly, my Desktop Window Manager is causing problems? I guess I can try disabling Aero, see if that helps at all. I have a GTX 260 with the newest drivers, so I'm more than capable of running Aero. Sigh.

Ugh, just checked the other DMP files from my other blue screens, they list different causes. One said "memory_corruption" and listed Firefox as the process.
 
From what I see there, I'd uninstall then reinstall the video drivers and you might want also to get up on MS page and DL the latest DX9 and install it.
Granted Vista is DX 10 but all your software may not be.
