Hi, I posted a msg earlier here about my computer going to a blue screen and restarting. Here it is: Hi, My computer has been out of nowwhere just going to a blue screen, and before I can read anything on the blue screen it restarts. It was doing that everytime I started it. So I rebooted the system. Now every once in a while it will do the blue screen thing. There is nothing specific I am doing when it happens. It will just happen out of the blue. If you can give me any help, It would be GREAT! Thanks, Jared My reply was: Disable auto reboot you should be able to see then whats makeing you blue screen. To disable automatic reboot goto mycomputer>advanced>startup and recovery and uncheck automatic So I did that, and now I know what the blue screen says. It says: *** STOP : 0x000000D1 ( 0x03A25DF3, 0x00000016, 0x00000000, 0xF0BE503E) DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL *** Address F0BE503E base at F0BE0000, DATA STAMP 39d16e5e - sisnic.sys Beginning dump of physical memory Physical memory dump complete. Contact your system administrator or technical support group! If you can help I would LOVE IT!!!! I am completly stumped!! Thanks, Jared!!

This error was attributable on my system to the USB drivers not being installed plus the USB108 fix. My advice is to search the term DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL in a search engine like www.google.com. There you can read about what causes the error. Then add terms like your operating system (IE win2k or win98) to see if that helps. Usually it is a driver issue and you should make sure that you have the latest drivers installed for your OS and software. This is a common BSOD (Blue screen of death) and the solution may be particular to your motherboard and OS. Example...ABIT KT7A-Raid motherboard needs to have the microsoft USB108 patch installed in order to solve an irq_not_less_or_equal code. A little bit of detective work on the net and you should be able to find the solution. Posting your system hardware list and configuration and operating system helps.

I had the exact same error...I tried booting to safe mode yet it would still give me the BSOD and reboot. Your error is from a PCI Fast Ethernet adaptor...that is the file sisnic.sys... I searched every possible place for a solution...and none of them helped...So put my win2k cd back in and did a Win2k repair which alleviated the problem...If you know how to disable the sisnic.sys service from the command prompt do that...and it might help...I couldn't figure out how to do it.. Good Luck... David
