You need to write down the first couple of lines of the BSOD - the exception, the stop error code, and the affected module - in order to research possible reasons.

The bsod just says 0x000000(not sure of the number of zeroes)1 then (0x0000000000, 0x000000000 3 or 4 times)
then under that it says
"DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Beginning dump of physical memory"

Seanc1930,

Update all of your drivers. What motherboard are you using?

If it's just happening when you run ares, then I would suspect a bug in their software which conflicts with your system.

I would contact them and see if they are able to shed any light on it.

No it is not just with ares and all i have been doing laely is surfing,

I guess it is time to check all my drivers (uhhgg been putting that off) this is really odd because i used to game heavily on this pc and leave it on for weeks at a time with no trouble and now, like a month and a half after i do a clean install i start getting this crap


Uhhgg only in windows
THanks for the help guys, i appreciate these and any other sugestions you may offer

Faulty/failing Ram or Hardware can also throw up this Stop Error.
