ARMA 2 CTD\Bluescreen IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Well, I installed Arma 2. Click on the desktop icon, completely unupdated at UK retail version 1.1. Nothing happened for about 5 seconds an then I got an ARMA 2 Has Stopped Working Message. Here's the Problem Report for it.

So, as I had read reports of this game being a buggy mess unupdated, I patched up to 1.4. Now, something completely different happened. I got a Blue Screen Of Death and, wait for it... IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.:eek:

Now, is I understand it that means some kind of driver or program is trying to access something above it's priority levels.

Here's the problem report for that BSOD

I can't help you with your snow patrol problem, but for the other problem...

IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors usually mean either a problem with drivers or a piece of hardware (usually a card in the PCI slots).

First try going into device manager and disable any device you don't need (sound cards, network cards, etc), then test, if it's still not working...

If you're good with hardware I'd suggest taking your computer apart (leave the CPU and RAM in), remove all the PCI cards, unplug all the hard drives and optical drives, unplug all USB devices, then try pluggin in just the Video card, hard drive, optical drive keyboard and mouse. After that try running ArmA 2 to see if you get the same problem.

The BSOD reporting an incorrect date could show another source of the problem. Check under Windows time to make sure it's set correctly, then check under BIOS time to make sure it's set correctly there too. If either is wrong then adjust. If the time in BIOS resets itself again then you'll need to replace your CMOS battery (it's about 25c from an electronics store)

Guh... :mad:

Any way I shall try what you asked. I have had this IRQL problem before, but that was just random BSODs at any time so I rolled back my printer drivers as they were my most recent driver update. This time it happens only when I start Arma 2.
