I asked my PC manufactorer and showed him all error messages I get. Among them were
"IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL", "DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL" and "PAGE FAULT ON NONPAGED
AREA". He said the last error is a cause of bad ram. So he loaned me good RAM from
Kingston and since then my PC didn't freeze any more.
Though I had made a RAM Test once before, but that was only a software test. You
cannot make a hardware test, because the machine to do that test costs i think 1,000,000.
$!!!
I suggest you see what RAM you have installed, if you have more than one slot occupied
remove one RAM, and see which one is the bad RAM. In my case they were both allright
as Single, but together they didn't work. Just try it! "The proof of the pudding
is in the eating". If you have found your bad RAM, it doesn't mean it is broken,
it just doesn't go well with your motherboard.
Kingston manufactores high quality RAM, they are tested of course. If the tests fail,
they are sold through a no-name company. So if you next time buy RAM, buy quality
RAM like the ones from Kingston. They are a bit more expensive, but they work (hopefully)!
Check out the kingston homepage before you buy. Then click on ValueRAM. There you
see a list full of motherboards. Select yours and you get the info wich RAM you must
buy!
This is Walter's solution for the page fault error, He does not know if it also
works with every one who has the irql error, with him it did, and he lives happily
ever after!
