Recently, I've started downloading a lot with a P2P program called Edonkey 2000. Anyways, about every random 5 minutes or so I get a blue screen while downloading which Says, "IRQ are not less than or equal, begining physical memory dump". It restarts my computer. I need help!

The easiest thing to try first is to press F8 at startup and load the last known configuration. If that doesn't work - First, stop the system from automatically restarting, so you have time to see the error. Start in safe mode (F8 at startup). Go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> startup and recovery. Make sure "write event to system log" is checked and "automatically reboot" is *not* checked. After you do that, you'll need to hold your power button in for 10 seconds to do a hard reset whenever the errors happen. When you get the exact error message, follow the steps on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/TechNet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/serverop/part4/sopch16.asp Also check your system event logs in control panel-> administrative tools. Look for any error messages, specifically ones that talk about .dll files and post back.

hmmm, thank you for your help. At first, my IRQs were shared by too many appliances such as my soundcard, video, etc, so I gave the sound card and network card their own IRQ. This improved my situation because earlier i would get the bluescreen every 5 minutes but now I got it in about 3 hours. I did what you suggested and I have included a screenshot of the series of errors which always occurs when the bluescreen occurs. Perhaps it is something to do with that dll file?The screen shot is on the below URL. http://soumihq.homestead.com/files/sol.jpg The next time I see the blue screen, I will write down the entire message as you suggested.

this blue screen error kept appearing in my computer ... stop : 0x0000000A (0xA1829id8, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80452180) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ** Address 80452180 base at 80400000, DateStamp 504d9b17 - ntoskrnl.exe beginning dump of phyiscal memory phyiscal memory dump completed... ahhh i am getting this every time i can;t even install my win 2k pro help !!!
