No, just a random BSOD that keep happening.

That's the error message on it.

[bushwhacker]

update chipset drivers and try various gpu drivers to get the stability and performance

this can invoke problems

and the clean install of a full version of Win XP, with updated drivers installed once and tested for a week produced what results??

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is the BSOD you get when you have RAM problems. I've seen it a thousand times on my own machines and others.

Your RAM is either unstable at its current settings (could be voltage, timings, speed) or defective.

Run Memtest86. Let it do about 3 passes or more consecutively. If you get 1 error or more, then your RAM is bad. Repeat this test on each stick of RAM to determine which one is the culprit. If you have a matched kit, then claim warranty on the whole thing.

There are numbers, I just don't remember them exactly.

From what I remember...

***STOP 0x0000000A (0x#######, and so on)

If it comes up again, I'll write em down.

[enaberif]

stop numbers mean nothing really.

its the error itself that does as suggested its 99% your memory that causes that error.

So.. start running memtest.

I ran Prime95 (torture test) and i got:

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4

So now you gotta make sure your memory is setup properly in your bios in accordance to its voltage, speed, and timings.

[AnthraxAdrian]

I ran Memtest overnight for 8 hours.

Pass complete, no errors.

Just a question, is L2 Cache supposed to say Unknown?

Sorry for the really small pic, had to use my phone.
