the processor that temporarily stops a running program and allows a special program, driver irql_less_or_not_equal windows 10 an interrupt handler, to run instead. Hardware interrupts are used to handle events such as receiving data from a modem

or network card, key presses, or mouse movements. Interrupt lines are often identified by an index with the format of IRQ followed by a number. For example, on the Intel 8259 family of irql error windows 10 PICs there are eight interrupt inputs commonly referred to as IRQ0 through IRQ7. In x86 based computer systems that use two of these PICs, the combined set of lines are referred to as IRQ0 through IRQ15. Technically these lines are named IR0 through IR7, and the lines on the ISA bus to which they were historically attached are named IRQ0 through IRQ15. Newer x86 systems integrate how to fix irql_not_less_or_equal windows 10 an Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) that conforms to the Intel APIC Architecture. These APICs support a programming interface for up to 255 physical hardware IRQ lines per APIC, with a typical system implementing support for only around 24 total hardware lines.

There are default settings that are configured in the system BIOS and recognized by the operating system. These default settings can be altered by advanced users. Modern plug and play technology has not only reduced the need for concern for these settings, but has also virtually eliminated manual configuration. x86 IRQs[edit] Typically, on systems using the Intel 8259, 16 IRQs are used. IRQs 0 to 7 are managed by one Intel 8259 PIC, and IRQs 8 to 15 by a second Intel 8259 PIC. The first PIC, the master, is the only one that directly signals the CPU. The second PIC, the slave, instead signals to the master on its IRQ 2
to get the processors attention. For example, when you press a key on your keyboard it sends a signal to the processor via an IRQ channel (usually IRQ1) to let it

Windows is notorious for not allowing you to directly change which IRQ's are assigned to which device so we must use a rather convoluted method to change the IRQ which involves uninstalling devices and reserving IRQ's. Seasoned veterans often reserve an IRQ for a particular device before installing anything, this is driver irql_less_or_not_equal windows the best method but sometimes, a reinstall is not preferable to your time constraints or indeed your sanity so here's a pretty fail-safe method of changing a devices IRQ assignment: (these instructions are for Windows 98/ME). Please also note that windows 2000/XP may well put a large number of devices on IRQ 11. This is a virtual IRQ which means that they are all sharing IRQ 11. It shouldn't be a problem but if it is, this method should still work... Make sure you have the device drivers for all your devices to hand 1. The first job is to uninstall all but one of the devices which are conflicting from windows from Device Manager ('Start'>'Settings'>'Control Panel'>'System' then click on 'Device Manager tab') double-click on a device then click on it's properties tab and choose 'Disable this device (do not use)'). 2. Now you need to reserve an IRQ for the device you left installed so that when Windows is restarted and reinstalls the other device(s) it cannot use the IRQ you have reserved which will leave it free for your intended device. You can reserve an IRQ from Device Manager by

This article is part of a continuing series on Blue Screen of Death errors. A Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) is the error screen you see when Windows has a major issue. It halts the PC and displays some very important information. Depending on the error message you get, the steps you need to take are different. Error Name: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL means one of two things: driver issues, or a bad Windows Service caused by a backup utility or antivirus scanner. This is a similar, but different error to the previous one we discussed, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, so much of this guide will be familiar. Driver Issues Sometimes the additional information on your Blue Screen will list the specific driver causing the problem, but this isn't always the case. If it does list the driver, you're going to want to disable it. If it doesn't list it, read below. Disabling a specific driver is tricky, but here's how you do it. Disable the Problem Driver To track down the specific problem driver,
