I've had this problem for quite some time, sometimes it happens more frequently than others. But lately its been horrible. I can't have it running for more than 5minutes without it doing it. I get the blue screen now that I disabled that auto restart, but it doesn't really tell me the problem. Just says to remove any recently added hardware or software...which I haven't added anything in a long time that would cause this. This is what it says: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damnage to your computer. Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware of software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

I would recommend reseating all your card and particularly the memory,try all chips independently.goodluck

I've reseated all cards, and memory also. I even started it with just one stick at a time, thinking one of the sticks were bad, but it still did it. Then I DL a memory tester from simmtester.com, that took like 20minutes to do all its scans, and it came back with everything fine. It seems like this only happens when I try to do a lot of stuff online. Maybe its just a coincidence. Any suggestions?

Try this then rightlick My Computer and press Properties. Select the Advanced tab. Press the Settings button under Performance. Select the Advanced tab. Press the Change button under Virtual memory. Select No paging file and press the Set button. Press Yes if prompted. Press OK, OK, and OK. Shutdown and restart your computer. Right-click My Computer and press Properties. Select the Advanced tab. Press the Settings button under Performance. Select the Advanced tab. Press the Change button under Virtual memory. Select System Managed size and press the Set button. Press Yes if prompted. Press OK, OK, and OK. Shutdown and restart your computer.Goodluck

Well I've done that. So far so good. Usually happens within 5minutes of being on and transferring stuff on mIRC. So it might still do it. But, so far its still goin. Josh

Well, still seems to be workin fine. Perhaps this was my problem. Would the page file being set too large cause this problem? Because just today I had modified it and put it on a different hard drive rather than my C. It was set for 1160, or something like that. So I had set it right back how it was...just on a different drive. So maybe Windows had made it too big for some reason. Is that possible? Because it seems to be working fine, so far. Thanks for your help, Josh

While it is ok for maximum performance,to set the page file on a separate physical hard drive so that Windows does not have to seek the hard drive between the page file and the application you are running and also physically separating the page file to its own physical drive and partition will also prevent it from becoming fragmented and subsequently slowing down overall system performance.It is always ideal that page file size should be set to a minimum of 1.5x and a maximum of 3x the amount of system memory,this is MS recommendation.
