My computer has been recently randomly restarting so I set XP to display the error message and it reads "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" stop 0x0000000a (0x00000028,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x00000000,0x804ea566) begining dump of physical memory,physicalmemory dump complete. Hopefully this looks familiar to someone cause it is quite annoying and becoming a serious problem for me. Any help is greatly apprciated in advance. Thank you Longspur

go into device manager, if you can and dump all drivers from everything. reboot, let windows reload. mebbe need to go to safemode to do that

a google search brought this up: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&... Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

Longspur i use this site for any stop error. http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm Look at the end of the code number 0x0000000a (0A) and find it in the columns. This will led you to MS. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=... Cause: Stop error 0x0000000A (Stop 0x0A) indicates that there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process internal request level (IRQL). Typically, this error occurs when a driver uses an incorrect memory address. Other possible causes of this error are an incompatible device driver, a general hardware problem, and incompatible software. I found also a quick fix is to recover windows.This link shows how to recover http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 I use these in recovery console. delete c:\windows\system32\config\system delete c:\windows\system32\config\software delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam delete c:\windows\system32\config\security delete c:\windows\system32\config\default copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default Hope this helps:)
