I usually get a hang sometimes in the game, and when I shut down the quake3 process, it turn blue screen. "Page locked" or something like this.
 
For your case, I have this problem before and it has something to do with my ASPI Layer for my CD Writer. After I update my ASPI Layer and apply the patch for my DirectCD 3.0 (85), it finally went off.. The newer patch for DirectCD 3.0 doesn't solve my IRQ less or equal problem.

I have a toshiba laptop and When i hit the power button the laptop displays some sort of text, then asks you to press F1 to continue, or F2 to setup. I hit F1 then it goes to the "Safe Mode" screen. Then, it displays a blue screen" stating "a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer" DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
 
How can i get past this screen and fix this problem?
 
Thanks
