Lately I've been having some weird issues with random BSODs every one in a while. They are pretty intermittent so they don't really bother me that much, but I'd still like to know what's causing them.
They usually only happen on start up or shutdown of the system and the message is usually the famous IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Sometimes I get the message saying ntfs.sys was responsible.
I've run memory diagnostics and everything passes. I've also tried installing my OS on multiple drives once I saw the ntfs.sys message since I thought it might be a defective hard drive. Different drives seem to have it happen in different frequencies but it could be just completely random. It seems that it happened a lot more with my Samsung F1 1TB though before I replaced it thinking it was defective because of the BSODs.
I've also read that my keyboard, Logitech G15's driver has a known issue with Vista SP1 and that a BSOD may sometimes occur on start up or shutdown. Strangely though when this happens it is supposed to reset your G15's settings, which never happens to me, leading me to think this is not my issue.
The only other thing I can think of is that it is either my motherboard (which I doubt), or Microsoft has brought on new driver bugs with their SP1 for Vista. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this sort of issue or has experienced any new problems with SP1. I seem to have only gotten these issues since I installed Vista SP1 almost a month and half ago. That's why I think that these issues may not be my machine's fault. If this is the case, I guess I have no choice but to wait on Microsoft to release a patch (if they ever do).
I know that's a lot of stuff but you don't have to read all of it to understand my issue.
Basically: Does anyone have any recent issues with SP1 on their Vista machines (BSODs)?
