Windows XP - Blue Screen - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL

Does anyone have a tip for me? Been getting Blue screens quite a lot recently. Sometimes the PC restarts without warning after 1 hour, sometimes after 6 hours. usually I can restart agin, sometimes I can't and have to wait a while. I've checked all my cooling fans (CPU, Videocard and PC casing): they're working. This is the first blue screen that actually didn't disappear within 2 secs. My configuration: Inter Core 2 Quad Q6600, Windows XP, 2 Gig memory, Geforce 8800 GTS 512. Thanks for any help!

I've been getting this very same Blue Screen...Have you found a solution? I have a Nvidia graphics card and searching the web it seems that this IRQL with Nvidia are very common.

@rezorekt Not using that PC any more. The problem did go away for a while, and came back, but not as bad. What did help usually, was to open the case, remove and reinsert the internal memory. Usually that helped. Also: get latest BIOS version and of course latest video card driver. Good luck!!

@Bolkiebasher RAM? or hard drive?

[Bolkiebasher]

@MingGuoLi Quite sure it was the RAM.

that's usually a hardware porblem. Can be your memory, your motherboard, lots of things....

[Bolkiebasher]

@Viriatus Yes indeed.. could be a lot of things alright :-). I updated the BIOS, and that seemed to help. But it reappeared. The solution was usually to take out and reinsert the memory. But it was never stable again. Since 6 months another PC. Thanks for your input!

I need a big help. When I install GTA San Andreas, it works perfectly the first 2-3 minutes...Then I do some actions, like trying to punch someone, or driving a car away and this problem of blue screen pop-ups and restarts my xp computer, which is old..named XEROX..I tried many different ways to solve this, but nothing works for me..So..PLEASE. HELP ME! (And of course, I will subscribe to you if you help me out)!

@Bolkiebasher Memtest86 is your friend. Sometime software (cd burner, music, printer, scanner ...) who access hardware by specific driver can cause error like this one. USB drivers are often a big source of problem.
