Title: Blue screen of death after new SATA DVD Rom fitted.
Post by: Bebeto94 on September 19, 2010, 07:53:39 pm

Guys,
Not sure what is going on here but ive just replaced my old Toshiba ribbon IDE DVD ROM drive with a Samsung SATA DVD ROM drive on my Gigabyte MA790FX-DS5 rev 1.0 motherboard. Im running a raid 0 system with 2 x 150GB Western Digital Raptors. I pulled out my old toshiba drive and put in the new SATA drive and plugged it onto a spare SATA socket on the motherboard. When i insert any media in the drive it goes to read the disc but then crashes with the error message of "DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" and then promptly re-boots itself. The strange thing is as soon as it boots up again with the disc still in the drive and i go to explore it there isnt a problem, i can view all the files and folders on the disc etc. no problems at all. This is until i take out that disc and pop in another and it starts all over again. It goes to read the disc and crashes. Any ideas guys ? Im guessing it has to be something to do with the SATA drive setup ??
Any help appreciated
Cheers guys

Hi there,

it would really help if you could post back  with details of your motherboard, Model Number and Revision number.
Also what Operating System you are using?
Was the old Toshiba Drive IDE ribbon or SATA?

Try clearing the CMOS memory.
