I have been plagued by this blue screen error constantly! Primarily when running 3d games like Counterstike! I have updated all my drivers and have gotten this message with my Geforce 2 GTS AGP card and even after installing a brand spankin' new Radeon 8500 LE I would get the message even more frequent, sometimes Counterstrike and other games would just freeze up completely or the PC would restart. This message also notes that this error was done in the file "win32k.sys". Specs: * Asus A7 Mainboard * AMD T-Bird 1 GIG proc. * 512mb PC 133 Generic RAM * SB Audigy Sound Card * 56K Modem * Haupagge Win TV Theater tuner card * Geforce2 GTS AGP, upgraded to ATI Radeon 8500 LE AGP I have tried removing all of the hardware except the Radeon and formatted XP, but now durring the installation of XP, after the partition would be checked on the hard drive the PC would just restart or a blue screen error stating "IRQ NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO" error would pop up! Damn, there is no way I can get around to even installing XP back on my machine now! What can I do??? I am going to try installing XP with the Geforce 2 GTS card back in my system later today to see if that might solve the problem. Are there any BIOS options I should change? I would be forever greatfull if someone could help me with this horendous problem! (Please be kind and email me any thoughts, I might not be able to check this forumn for a while until I can get my PC running, hehe) buzzice@hotmail.com IcE

Thx! I will try to fix this error, if I am successfull in reinstalling XP I will post here. If I continue to get these errors again while in XP, then alas....I will try again. I am wondering if I should just go back to Win 98 instead? Win 98 seems to offer me better perfomance and my DVD-ROM drive actualy works with Win 98 for playing DVDs. IcE

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA errors usually point to bad memory. Swap out your memory and re-install. If you want a good resource for testing memory check out the following link: http://www.teresaudio.com/memtest86/
