when i was in a middle of a game...suddenly pop out a blue screen then eif the error " DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" ....everytime its like that....can help mi?

Can be 2 things: 1 - your power supply is disfunctional or inadecvate. This is mosty with AMD Athlon XP-s and 300W power supply. Recommended power supply for AMD at higher power consumption (like when playing games) is 350W+ . Possibly there can be problems with disfunctional RAM but i dont this is the matter here. 2. - there is the bad driver setting. Most conflicts are sound-network cards or bad graphic card drivers. Check sound drivers or graphic card drivers. If problems is only with this 1 game you are playing then is probably solution 2. If the problem is with all games you are playing, then it can be 1 or 2.

I am having the same problem. Mainly when playing BattleField 1942. I have tryied a ATI 9000 and 8500 same problems. I am running WinXP home (new system is 2 months old) 2.4 P4 w/intel fan 350watt p/s Gigabyte MoBo 8INXP (3.0) RDRAM 512 Megs RDRAM Sony CD/DVD Rom Sony DVD RW+ RW Western Digital 120 gig 8meg buffer Maxtor 60 gig 2 meg buffer Creative Audigy gamer 2 USB onboard & 8 plug into the board. I have already did the format and reinstall and still have this problem. Last night I turned off the restart option in My Computer/right click properties, advanced, settings, and uncheck the auto restart. So i can find out what was happing. and I got this message Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS OR EQUAL If it is the ram how can i tell? Thanks Jay

I just ran the MEMTEST86 and it found not problems...Thats good I hope, since RDRAM ain't cheap.
