Ive recently checked out a program that scans your drivers for out-of-date ones and tells you which ones need updated. and i found one that could colve alot of my problems im having at the moment but i cannot for the driver anywhere on the net to download it. It's as follows: NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management if anyone could help me out that would me awesome! But if thats not the case for getting this error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL everytime i start a 3D game, then if someone could help me on that too it'd be great!

Check to make sure your video card or audio card are not sharing resources with other devices. go to control panel>system>device manager and make sure that no device has the yellow exclamation mark next to it. Next, make sure you have the most current drivers for your hardware. (mobo, video/sound card..etc) Now, most importantly, you did NOT mention what video card (if any) you have. What kind is it? Abit NF8 Sempron64 3100+ - 2.6GHZ Thermaltake Big Typhoon 512 MB PC 3200 Ram Radeon 9550 @ 460/560

it's a 512MB Radeon x1600 Pro. no exclamation points in device manager, and all driver and BIOS are as current as the sites i went to have.

Go download and install the unified driver for your motherboard's chipset. It supports all the platforms below. nForce3 Ultra nForce3 Pro 250 nForce3 Pro nForce3 250 nForce3 250Gb nForce3 nForce2-S nForce2 nForce

Didn't we go over this before? DON'T accept what that software is telling you! The are no newer drivers available for your "old" nForce2 chipset...v5.10 is as good as it gets!

i wasn't asking for new drivers i was just pretty much asking what is going on with my system to make it spaz out with that Error all the time. yea. its old but its all i got at the moment and i would at least like to get it to work decently.

"i wasn't asking for new drivers" "Ive recently checked out a program that scans your drivers for out-of-date ones and tells you which ones need updated. and i found one that could colve alot of my problems" What am I not understanding? Regardless, v5.10 is the latest driver available for your board's chipset (nForce2). Sabertooth created a link, all you needed to do was click on it, then click "accept" & you could have downloaded it. These drivers are almost 2 years old but there isn't anything newer & there probably won't be. Make sure to follow the installation hints: http://www.nvidia.com/object/driver_installation_hints.html And fyi, I'm not putting down your "old" board...I'm still running two boards based on the nForce2 chipset myself & they're great! All you need to do is set your's up properly. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=308429
