General bad performance and IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL


Since doing a clean install with 10 I have had many performance issues from explorer being slow, context menus slow, start menu not working, and so forth. CHKDSK and SFC /SCANNOW return normal results.

I also have a lot of issues with my video driver kernel crashing abd being recoverd. This mainly happens on wake. (GTX 970). I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled as a first attempt, used DisplayDriverUninstaller on the second attempt, and on the third used Revo, DDU, CCleaner, and windows to remove it and I still get crashes.

Finally I came to using the driver verifer tool to try and force a BSOD. After two days of use this is what I get, "IQRL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".

Hi zenixnet,

Welcome to the 10blog.

A quick tip
Partition Y doesn't have enough free space.
Every partition needs at least 10-15% free space.
Please move some files from partition Y.
   Warning
Less free space could cause BSOD's

It seems that a VMware driver caused the problem.
Please update VMware or remove it.
Code:
3: kd> lmvm hcmonstart             end                 module name fffff801`58720000 fffff801`58731000   hcmon    T (no symbols)                Loaded symbol image file: hcmon.sys     Image path: ??C:WINDOWSsystem32drivershcmon.sys     Image name: hcmon.sys  Timestamp:        Sat Aug 17 17:03:42 2013(520F90CE)     CheckSum:         00010BCD     ImageSize:        00011000     Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4

Thank you for the reply. I think I uninstalled the VM software that used that driver, I didn't need it anyway.

On a related note I saved the event logs for the video driver crash and the logs that happen around the same time. Are they something you could take a look at and possibly see what is wrong?

The only thing that they have common is that it is all about shutting down software because it is not reacting anymore.
