I have the same problem when I shut down a game (every game !). So I put my new computer the constructor and if all is good I put Win98 to play :(

Same, when downloading/sending mails with outlook 2002 or netscape 6 on a win 2000 laptop, ONLY when connecting over ADSL and VPN. A colleague seems to have fixed probs with a MTU change. (Down to 1400) Ideas welcome.

Same thing.. but mine is random. Sometimes during login, sometimes listening to MP3's, sometimes in Word or IE. I've built about a dozen Athlon XP 1600 1700+ systems and they are all doing this occassionally. It's killing me.. any ideas???

Same Error here. Running WinXP on Athlon 1700XP+ 256mb DDR PC2100 Has anyone tried to downgrade to W2K to see if it performs ok?

Every Body seems to be saying the same thing, but are all your messages the same, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, is not a specific enough error message. The parameters that accompany the message is the more important thing Error should read 0x0000000a, 0x00000004, 0x00000001, (This Parameter is the Hard/Software that is causing the problem, if you can find out what memory space uses this address then bingo you have your solution. This should help you by the way I have this at least once a day. Possibly something to do with your BIOS, usually, you can look at your event log and then system events to find the actual message. Also try changing the Computer Driver in device manager to standard PC, this stops windows from using its own IRQ table, and assigns all hardware new IRQ's If your computer driver says its a ACPI compliant computer, then chances are windows has assign most of your hardware to IRQ11. See what happens.

link to anandtech: http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=47 I'm guessing this irq 'conflict' is created by the screwy acpi function on win2k/XP. If irql is a chronic problem with your computer, update your bios or remove acpi as soon as possible. For me it got to the point that the ntosknrl.exe got corrupted because of some datestamp issue. Needless to say i couldn't re-install win2k on c: drive to rescue my crap so i had to install it on d: and then backup everything, and then install back to c: with no acpi. Yea it's a pain in the ass.

Actually i think my HD is about to die. I get a lot of ntosknrl.exe datestamp error when i try to boot&install win2k from cd. This process worked fine with a spare hard drive i have. The one 'dying' is a 7 month old ibm deskstar 40gb 7400rpm

i also had the irql_not_less ... Error. AMD Douron 700 ASUS A7V - Bord 384Mb SDRAM ... After a BIOS-Update, a driverchange to "standart-pc" nothing happend. So I startet to unmount "every" hardware in my PC. To come to the point: When I unplugged my HP - Scanner 3200C (parallelport), the error disappeared.

I got the same error with a new Gateway. I called gateway and they said to re-format the hard drive. Guess I won't be buying any more Gateway PC's. Any thoughts?

I am having the same problem My computer restarts after every game athlon 1.7xp 256 DDR 40 gb IBM hard drive Hercules 3D prohets 3 (Geforce 3 Ti200)

I fixed the problem! Hardware: AMD athlon 800 Mhz 640 MB SDRAM 40 GB IDE IBM Deskstar WIN XP Professional GFII, TI 64MB SDRAM only, i´m playing any game, i got a bluescreen... I changed the power supply from 230Watts to 350Watts (new one for 63 Euro *argh*) and also build in a new cooling fan and now everything is fine working! so easy! :-)

ah i fixed my problem as well. It turned out to be a bad memory stick - crucial 256 ecc/registered DDR ram. Beats my why it died. My bios is set to detect/correct errors, etc. At least those crucial guys send me a new stick within 24hrs all the way from idaho!

See www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000365 Basically, update your drivers, update Roxio (or go to a real cd burning software package), if that doesn't do it, you may be looking at hardware problems, the link above explains how to translate the error, and see what is causing it. Good luck

most of the time, it's a software problem. happens when windows runs out of irq's (or at least thinks it does). If you can get to safe mode, do a system restore.

I got this bluescreen too. System: Win XP Pro XP 1600+ Asus GF2 D (V7700) Creative SB Live! most i got this error, when WinAmp play's mp3 (sometimes my PC restarts with this bluescreen around 10 times per hour!!!)

0

now i fixed the problem. I changed the IRQs in Bios for the different slots WinXP shows me the same IRQs for the same cards, but now my system doesn't crash for 2days!

Hi, I've been struggling with the same problem for a couple of days. Funny thing is it started out of the blue... Crap joke, sorry.. Anyway, now when I've pulled out my second HDD, a 30 Gb IBM Deskstar, everything seems to working just fine again. My primary HDD is on NTFS and this IBM is on FAT32 but that shouldn'r make any difference. And it's been working fine for about 10 months so...

i got the same bluescreen. i gave each hardware another IRQ, i changed from acpi-computer to standard-pc.... it doesn't help. my system crash often. any fixes? win2000 asus a7v133 amd 1200 geforce3 ti200 soundblaster live! 3com 905b etherlink

I've been experiencing sudden crashes for the last two weeks and I am using NT I also have a partition with XP (for the laugh ;-) ) and I used that to defrag my NT partition. It almost exclusively crashes from within Opera or when shutting down internet related programs. I am hooked to the net via DSL so I suppose the Ethernet card must be the culprit. But I've had that for 1.5 years now ..
