multiple occurances of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

any recommendations.

I had just looked up another one that is similar before you posted. I have compared them yet because my system is responding so poorly.

My goodness my system is soooo much slower with 6 gb. just opening a page on new egg and this thread was painfully slow.
I'm going to go through my startup and remove some apps.

Thanks for the recommendations. Again I appreciate the help.
I read a thread on the EVGAGeForce GT 730 2GB DDR3 PCIe Video Card that the fan was pretty loud. Hopefully the 740 isn't as loud.

I rebooted and everything was much faster. something sucking memory. ;-)

I'm looking at this one EVGA GeForce GT 740 Superclocked 4GB PCI-Express Video Card 04G-P4-3748-KR - Micro Center
because 1) it has dual link dvi connections 2) about the same price as Amazon 3) I can get it at Micro Center today
I don't need 4 GB but they have it.

It looks like it. I'll let you know how it goes. And so far no BSOD

Well I purchase the EVGA GeForce GT 740 Superclocked 4GB PCI-Express Video Card 04G-P4-3748-KR - Micro Center and installed it and I'm running with a GPU temp of 28C at idle. Big difference. And it's fairly quite, even with the case still open.

I have a question. When I formatted my 8 GB usb stick I wanted to reclaim it and it's now it's only 49MB. I did some searching and found this link Reclaim disk space after imaging with imageUSB. But before I go down that path I thought I'd ask if you have some thing up your sleeve.
