IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Posted by Tom Holbrook Jr. on June 25th, 2003


Hi all. My first post here, and I have a mess of computer problems, so it
likely won't be my last. : )
I'm writing about a blue screen I receive under Windows XP, reading the
error message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I was wondering if any of you have had
any experience with it, and, if so, if you could help me out with it. It
tends to occur when I put a high load on my processor, which is pretty weak
(AMD 500MHz.), and it just totally freezes up. I have read that it is linked
to hardware, and conflicting drivers, and also that it could be related to
my networking card, and it's drivers. Any suggestions?

System
AMD K6-2 500MHz
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX Video Card
SoundBlaster Live! Sound Card
256MB RAM
Ethernet Card (Macronix-based, I think....I'll work on getting the exact
model.)

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your replies...

No, it's not an upgrade, I clean installed. As well, I have the latest
Nvidia drivers. I remember I used to have some trouble with the video card,
and the AGP version of my motherboard. The card requires a AGP v.2.0 slot on
the mobo, when I think my mobo's AGP slot is v.1.0. Maybe that's it.

I'm playing a hunch here but...

Have you just upgraded to the new version of ZoneAlarm?

Cheers,


Allan.
