Minidump Analysis?
I have some experience with programming, I am entering my 4th year in college as a CS Major, however, this is beyond me. I had to beat my brains out just to be able to LOOK at this, but I still get nothing out of it.
I will just cut to the chase.
While playing World of Warcraft, I constantly get a BSOD that restarts my computer before I get the chance to read it. Fortunately I have managed to catch just one line of the screen, something like:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO.
I googled it and it gave me a blue screen screenshot that looked right. Then I learned about debugging programs and how to look in the minidump files, bla bla bla, and now I am here.
The most recent file looks like this. I have since uninstalled my Daemon Tools, wondering if that may solve the problem, but I am not holding my breath at all. If anyone can tell me what is wrong, and can help me at all, I would be very grateful.

I suspect one of your USB port devices is sharing an IRQ and is in conflict when operating a graphics intensive operation.
Check IRQ sharing in device manager, look for what shares with your vid card and switch USB devices around, etc.
-
Also, turn off automatically restart so the error stays put until you turn off the machine...
Right click my computer, properties, advanced tab, start up and recovery settings button, uncheck automatically restart (near the bottom).
IRQL stop errors are usually about bad drivers.

Thank you for the tips, but as for the IRQ Conflicts, I could find nothing. But I have yet ANOTHER minidump. Any analysis and advice as to how to resolve my problem would be even more appreciated.

Thanks someone said the problem may be virus related and I wanted to attack it from every angle. Could the problem be related to my new CD/DVD RW Drive? It is a SATA drive: LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S. Looking in I just found something interesting. It was mentioned that the problem may be related to an IRQ Conflict between my video card and the USB ports. I checked but the video card shows IRQ 16, and it does not share it with... anything that I could find. However, in the device manager, it shows my NVIDIA nForce 590/570/550 Serial ATA Controller on IRQ 22, which is the same IRQ as the Standard Enhanced PCI USB Host Controller. I will submit a screenshot. I really have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm just providing all the information I can find and hoping that a solution can be devised from what I am finding. In case it helps, my motherboard is an ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard, my Processor is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Processor and my video card is an ASUS EN7950GT/HTDP/512M GeForce 7950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Splendid Video Card. In looking at everything, I see a bunch of IRQ that are the same. I have no idea what this means, or how to fix it. Any and all help in resolving this will be much appreciated. And the newest error message that I found is: A Wait Operation, Attach Process, or Yield was attempted from a DPC Routine. Another solution attempt I tried was using ForceASPI. I have since removed it, if this was a mistake, please let me know so I can re-do it.
Here is the screenshot with all the information that I believe was relevant, and that could fit.

With the best will in the world, you are over thinking this.
The screen shot gives very little useful information. The full stop error, however would be very useful.
Since vsdatant.sys is part of zone alarm firewall have you thought about disabling zone alarm and trying to reproduce the BSOD?
Have you looked to see if there are any updates/patches for your version of ZA?
Have you checked the event viewer?
-
I removed Zone Alarm, and that got rid of the old error message, but then I got a new one:

That is 90% greek to me.
This came when I alt-tabbed out of the game with Firefox up. I also went into my machine and tinkered around a bit, and learned that two of the cases USB ports were not plugged into the motherboard. I had opened it with the intention of unplugging them to see if that would help at all, but since this was already the case, I plugged them back in and moved my USB Mouse and Keyboard to the front two USB ports.
-
Either your ethernet card is dying or the driver is corrupt - start with a new driver.
-
i sincerely hope not this motherboard is brand new. I will try a new driver, but it has 2 ethernet ports.
-
Make and model of motherboard?
-
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
-
Do you know what this 1394 Net Adapter is? Could that be causing the problem?
-
-
I will try them out. Thanks very much for all the assistance.
-
1394 is the firewire connection, it can be disabled if you don't want to use it for networking without affecting its function for i-link
-
So far so good. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions I haven't experienced a blue screen for a few hours now, which is better than before when I was getting one about once every 20 minutes or less. I'm getting ready to exhale my held breath.

Famous last words... Not 15 minutes later, another bluescreen.

I will see what I can find on my own until someone can get back to me on this. Thanks
EDIT: I just realized that I have not yet installed drivers for my USB Keyboard or Mouse. I will see if doing that fixes the problem.

Did you reinstall the chipset drivers yet?

Yes, yes, and yes. I gave up, bit the bullet, formatted the hard drive, and found the problem is being caused by my SATA DVD-RW Drive. How? Because the first time I tried to reinstall Windows I got the same *expletive* error message that I got 10,000 times before 1/10th of the way through the installation. five times. Fortunately for me, we have about 10 other CD/DVD rom drives just layin' around. Fortunately for Me I thought ahead a bit and backed up the entire registry after I installed all my *cough* essential programs, (WoW, FFXI, Etc). But of course, I am an ignorant jackass, and learned the hard way the drawbacks of restoring the registry BEFORE all the other programs are installed. 4 formats and reinstallations later, here I am, ready to give it another shot, with nothing lost but a night of my life. I am not holding my breath at all, so expect another post within the next 12 hours, after all the *expletive* windows updates have downloaded, and I have restored the registry and given it another shot. Time to reactivate windows. God i hate that. Cross your fingers for me and wish me some luck.
But Like I said I am relatively confident the problem is being caused by my SATA DVD-RW Drive. Here are the specs.
Name:
LiteON 20x DVD Writer Serial ATA Interface
Model No: LH-20A1S12C
If anyone finds out why this would be causing my computer to throw up BSOD's at a steadily increasing rate, feel free to enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

A number of reasons
The drive is dirty
The cable is faulty/incorrectly plugged in
The drive is faulty
The motherboard port is faulty
The ide features software as part of the nforce drivers are installed
The drive needs a firmware update (there are none at Lite on that I can find)
