I know this isn't to do with the game, but I posted it on the SWRP forums, so I'll try here as well. Since Monday I've been getting BSOD errors, and the codes I keep getting range from 7E, 3B, and 1A/0A (either one) I also got this message one time I got a blue screen: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I've tried everything from a system restore to a disk check. I tried hot fixes but I get a pop up saying "this file is not applicable to your computer" which basically means "fuck off, you're not fixing this computer, Jack."

Any help or fixes? I have suspicions it's one of my drivers but I have no way of knowing which one, how it happened, or why?

You're correct in presuming this is a driver based issue. This error occurs when a driver, or piece of software attempted to access an area in memory that it was not permitted to. This isn't that common and can mean a number of things:


  • You've got a virus, and it's attempting to pick at your protected memory.
  • You've got a faulty driver, and it's attempting to load something from the kernel.
  • You've got a corrupted piece of software that is using relative memory references, and what that point is relative too, is what has been corrupted. Think of it like following a map. If you don't know where you are, but you're told to walk 10 paces to the right in the middle of a busy city, you'll be fine. Now do that 5 paces away from a pier, and you'll experience an error of your own.


A good list of solutions are provided by MSDN. Failing those solutions, there are also several diagnostic steps that might help you work out where you're going wrong. You can click here for a link to the website.

NOTE: I don't mean to come across as patronising with the whole relative memory addresses explanation. I don't know how much tech knowledge you have so I just explained everything.
