BSOD when running utorrent IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Hi all,

I get a BSODwhen running utorrent that says IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I've narrowed the issue down to RAM, however there are some strange things going on:

1) Like I said the ONLY time this happens is when I run utorrent, and it only takes about 5 seconds

2) I've used a bunch of different RAM (some 1 gig chips, some 2 gig chips) in difference sequences and noticed that the BSOD only shows when I have both of my 2 gig chips installed equaling 4 gigs of RAM.

One alarming thing I found, and this might be normal I really don't know... is that I have about 180 different "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System" entries in my IRQ entries in device Manager.

I believe there is some sort of memory access/addressing issue going on here but I don't know how to troubleshoot at this point. By the way I'm using the Windows 7 64-bit, not sure if that could be part of the problem, still is weird that it only reproduces the issue when I have all 4 gigs installed.

MOBO: ECS G31T-M

Video: Nvidia Geforce GTX 275

CPU: Intel E2655

RAM: 4gigs corsairs 1066

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Also here is a memory dump of utorrent when I attempt to run it with 4 gigs installed:

ADPlus Version: 6.03.006

ADPlus Version Date: 12/16/2008

OS Version: 6.1

OS Build: 7100

DateTimeStamp: Date_05-27-2009__Time_18-00-56PM

ADPlus was run on: BEN-HOME

Debuggers Installation Directory: C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)

Command line arguments used were:

-crash -pn utorrent.exe -quiet -o c:\adplus

Script engine Version: 5.8.0

WARNING! An '_NT_SYMBOL_PATH' environment variable is not set, as a result ADPlus will be forced to use 'export' symbols (if present) to resolve function names in the stack trace information for each thread listed in the log file for the processes being debugged. To resolve this warning, please copy the appropriate symbols to a directory on the server and then create an environment variable with a name of '_NT_SYMBOL_PATH' and a value containing the path to the proper symbols (i.e. c:\winnt\symbols) before running ADPlus in quick or crash modes again. NOTE: After creating the '_NT_SYMBOL_PATH' system environment variable you will need to close the current command shell and open a new one before running ADPlus again.

Selected debugger: cdb.exe

Output Directory: c:\adplus\Crash_Mode__Date_05-27-2009__Time_18-00-56PM

ADPlus was run with the '-quiet' switch.

I have a similar problem here.

When downloading a huge torrent today (11GB), uTorrent seems to crash the system randomly from around 30 seconds to 10 minutes, either crashes to BSOD with IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, some other error or just hangs the system.

Opsys is Windows 7 x64 with 8GB of RAM.

Similar problem hasn't risen before, have had just some random hangs before (might also be related to uTorrent since i have it running 24/7 in the background, possibly will stop that for now.

Nope, Atheros L1 Gigabit

Motherboard is Asus P5K

After removing the 3 memory sticks and leaving just one 2GB unit in the BSODs have stopped.

Edit:

I solved my problems with adding another network card to the computer and disabling the integrated one, it still gave me BSODs even with just 2GB memory.
