TSGL: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL stop error

[The Computer Whisperer]

is there nothing listed in your EVENTVWR.MSC ???? (start menu, run)

try running "sfc /scannow" to make sure all of his windows files are intact

try booting from a windows install disc and go to the recovery console and type:

chkdsk /p


Could be a virus??? or spyware???

Good Luck

Justin
