Win7 Fuzzy Screen Then Continual Reboot?

[cshayes82]

I wonder if anyone knows how to fix this problem. My computer was working fine until the whole screen went fuzzy with a picture consisting of laterial white and coloured lines. At this point I had to hold down the power button to turn the PC off otherwise it remained like that. On starting the computer continually rebooted over and over whilst bleeping three times each time with nothing appearing on the screen. In one instance after the error occurred a blue screen appeared with 'DRIVE IRLQ LESS THAN EQUAL' at the top of the screen. Driver error After leaving the PC for a while the error tends to stop but reappears once again although the programmes being used at the time of it happening vary. Another problem after I had driver errors on receiving my PC from overclockers. I hope I dont have to box it up and send it away for a week once again Any advice would very much be appreciated.

How many pcie slots do you have? My mate had this kind of problem on a fresh install of 7 HP on his Asus Maximus 775 board. Was fine under Vista but would not play ball in 7. I had a look at it, moved the gfx card (a 4890) from a lower pcie slot to the top one and vola! No more problems. Not sure what the problem was but it hasn't come back.

I am no expert in computers and I havent built up the nerve to open the box. Not sure if that would invalidate my warranty Either way, I cant understand how this problem occurs now and not before unless a Windows update has done more damage than good. I'll have to figure out what a PCIE slot is and figure out how many there are though I would hope the people of Overclockers would have realised such problems and release there own thread.

Thanks for the help once again.

You should be able to see at the back of the machine which blanks the card occupies. Unlkley to be that, just my 2pence

They have contacted me via webnote indicating the RAM might have gone bad. I need to remove each and then see if the same problem occurs though someone has also said the fan might not be working properly causing the machine to over heat. This could be true as if I leave it for 20 minutes the system works fine until it happens again. I'll have to do some investigating and get back on here incase someone else has a problem like mine.

Thanks for your 2pence though
