IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL : this is a real painin the rear error because it is such
a wide ranging general error. it occurs when two devices try to write to the same
memory space(reminiscent of win 98's gpf). however the difference is this is a sign
of hardware error not software. the driver update is always a good start.now check
your sys info and see how many devices are using one irq - chances are you will find
six or seven devices using one irq. dynamic irq's are great but this is one setback.
of those using the irq you must tie down which one it is. your description of intermittent
failure sounds to me to be a video issue. if you are using nvidia or asus/nvidia
this could be your culprit. if driver updating doesn't work try pulling two of the
offending (irq sharers) devices out-reboot shut down replace them and see if xp re
assigns a more passive irq channel.
