I would first like to start off by saying that I’m only fourteen and I’m not too technically savvy. So I ask that if you are going to help me and give me a solution to my problem, that you be descriptive and clear so I can understand it.
I have a three-year-old Sony Vaio desktop that I’ve had for about a year now. It was given to me by a friend of my brother and since I’ve gotten it, it’s always ran kind of sluggish. But it worked and I could do everything on it so I thought nothing of it.
Starting in mid-July, I would occasionally get a BSOD error when I would start up my computer. All I had to do was restart and it would work fine; but the errors kept becoming more frequent and seemed to occur in a pattern.
The BSODs stopped in September (That’s when I started school and wasn’t on my computer as often) but recently began again. Now my computer won’t even start up anymore and all I get is the same BSOD no matter what I do. I can’t even boot it up in Safe Mode.
This is what I managed to remember from the blue screen:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
0×0000000D1
And after attempting to boot it up a few times, the text ‘NDIS.SYS’ appeared towards the bottom along with other numbers and stuff.
Can anyone help me out and give a diagnosis/solution for my problem? And please don’t give me download links for any diagnosis programs because I obviously can’t get it on my computer.
Thank you so very for your help.
