Ok read through here and did not see anyone with my problem with this BSOD. I get
this one when trying to install/reinstall the OS.
1. I put the XP CD in (Tried a couple different CD's versions)
2. it loads in all the stuff at the bottom... (Kernal debugger, fat32, ntfs ...
the min drivers I suppose)
3. It says starting Windows
4. It says continue, hit enter, repair - hit f3 and whatnot.
5. I hit enter, (Or any key for that matter) and the screen goes black and comes
back with irql not less or equal.
If I wait at the Windows install menu (enter, f3 et...) than after 5 sec or so I
get a BSOD with a code attached.
I have tried removing my soundcard and trying, changing out RAM and trying, changing
slots and trying et... I cannot try without the video card as it is the only one
I have. (Nvidia ti200 64meg)
The only way I can get it to work is disabling L1 cache in bios, which makes it very
very slow. (Still crashes with just L2 disabled) Anyway, long story short, if this
is a hardware issue what should I replace? Is the cache on the CPU or the MB? (or
any other advice :)
Thanks!
