Building on ’s repair-install suggestion, here is a focused, no-reinstall-first triage sequence that targets the usual causes of IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and explains why the machine might still reboot even after disabling automatic restart.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is a kernel-mode access violation (driver or code tried to touch paged memory at a raised IRQL); common culprits are buggy drivers and bad RAM. Collecting the crash data is the first priority because the dump usually points to the offending driver or module. (learn.microsoft.com)

Practical diagnostic sequence (try in this order before a repair install):

  1. Ensure Windows is configured to write small memory dumps (C:\Windows\Minidump) and disable auto-reboot so the stop code can be captured. Then review the newest dump with a simple viewer like BlueScreenView or do a full analysis with WinDbg (the dump will often name a suspect driver). 2) Check Event Viewer for related errors and uninstall or roll back the named driver or any recently added software while in Safe Mode. 3) Run a memory test (Windows Memory Diagnostic or a bootable tool such as MemTest86) and reseat/test DIMMs one stick at a time. 4) If drivers look suspicious but analysis is inconclusive, run Driver Verifier on a test machine to force driver faults and identify the exact faulty.sys (Driver Verifier will deliberately provoke crashes so use it carefully). (learn.microsoft.com)

Notes and fallback options:

  • If the PC still restarts immediately after disabling automatic restart, the behavior can be caused by hardware-level resets (bad PSU, overheating, or a short) that bypass Windows’ ability to show the BSOD; test power and temperatures and try minimal hardware (one stick of RAM, onboard video).
  • A repair install can fix corrupted system files, but if no Vista disc is available, obtain recovery media from the PC maker or borrow/install matching Vista media before attempting an in-place repair. (support.microsoft.com)
