Trying to load Win XP...Get blue screen error message "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL"...I've heard this has something to do with NVIDIA Graphics cards... System is: AMD Duron 1200 GeForce 2MX 400 Shuttle Spaceboard M/board 256Ram Help please! ...Vege...

go to the previous page and type in "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" into the search engine. Go through the results.

There's good news and bad news... the good ones first? OK The good news: U can solve the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ERROR!!!! The bad news: For now, it can only be solved by decreasing your processor clock... =( In my case, i just went to my bios, changed my processor clock from 133/133 33 mhz to Default, and, problem solved. That means, i decreased my speed from 1.4c GHZ to 1.050 GHZ ¬¬ I hope in the future we can get peek performance without doing this sacrifice; i'm still waiting for a reply from Microsoft.
