I get this error, but when only running AOL/Explorer and MSN, just when online.
Computer goes to blue error screen, flashes IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and turns itself
off. Have read about hardware conflicts etc but am confused as to how i can have
conflicts when just using my basics. PC has recently been reformatted and has nothing
really installed on it....
Am a confused girlie :(
