Hello,
I just happened to experience this IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL using a laptop with an
intel celeron processor. I use this laptop for simulation purposes which uses the
memory most of the time. I even have to change the priority of the software just
to speed up the calculation. Also, I always change the LAN setting everytime connect
this laptop in my house using a personal DSL connection using the sme LAN card. Recently
I installed hacker elliminator which i use whenever i surf the net using my dsl connection.
Then now the same error occurs every time I shutdown windows 2000. But after rebooting
and trying to shutdwon again with doing anything, the error does not occur. Also
the error does not occur while Im running several softwares including the simulation
software, only during shutdown period after using the laptop for a long time.
I read the responses here, and most of the solutions says device driver error. Does
anyone had the same situation? Could it possibly be hardware's fault? Please reply.
