IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Computers been crashing + freezing + restarting for ages. Often before it restarted or crashed, the sound would dissapear, followed by the mouse and keyboard not working, then restart. I used to reformat the pc and it would solve the problem for a day or two, it got worse.
Computers been crashing + freezing + restarting for ages. Often before it restarted or crashed, the sound would dissapear, followed by the mouse and keyboard not working, then restart. I used to reformat the pc and it would solve the problem for a day or two, it got worse. I talked to some people I knew and online and we decided it was most likely my PSU being old and not wokring properly. I bought a new good quality 600W PSU just two days ago, and fresh installed XP. The pc worked like a beaty for 2 days, until it started restarting + freezing again etc. I know its not the graphics cards over heating, as it does it when they are at 50 degrees. Today, it did it after 15 minutes of having the PC on, except I turned off auto restart, and this time it came up with this error.
"IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
***STOP: 0X000000A (0X00000001, 0X00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80524379)"
I researched the error message and I found that most posts related to it, seem to reckon its a CPU Over heating problem. This would make sense, and I will try and find out later today.
Basically I just don't know for sure, and wondering if anyone has any idea what it could be, I'm quite frustrated right now, as I just spent over 50 pounds on a new PSU, which hasn't fixed the damn problem. Any comments/suggestions welcome.
Edit : New Heatsink is apparently what I need to fix the CPU overheating. Anyone know where I can buy a quality Heatsink for an Intel Duo 6200 Processer ?
Thanks,
Harry

Update : I think it might actually be one of my graphics cards. I've just tried unplugging/unconnecting the Second SLI 7800GT I have and the pc seems to work fine. Also I let the pc cool down while i was writing this post (on a diff pc), and I turned on the pc and it restarted almost striaght away which means it surely can't be a heating problem at all. I think one of my cards is basically faulty.
Do both video cards work alone on the system when you swap them out?
What exact power supply did you buy? The wattage is not the only indicator that it can handle the load in the system.
Did you try to get into the bios and check the CPU temperature with the system without booting into Windows? Also check to see if the bios is set up correctly for SLI as per the users manual.
Does the CPU fan seem to be keeping them temperature down to an acceptable level and seems to be working properly?
What other cooling do you have in the system? Any aux. fans to keep the cooling down?

Hi,
I have had similar issues with many of the T41 laptops that we are using at a free clinic run by us since installing XP sp3 and also installing a DLINK DIR-655 router. Windows does report the error being an incompatible software driver for the wireless card and suggests I download the latest driver from Lenovo.
I have tried that and also updated the bios but continue to have the problem. Since this started at the same time for all the laptops, with the installation of the Wireless N router, I am thinking the problem is an incompatibility with the IBM hardware to that technology (Wireless N).
Hope this helps.
