I found a solution to my IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problem and memory addressing problem
wen running any program.
I recently got a ASUS P4P800 motherboard with two memory sticks. I had put the memory
stick in the wrong slots: slots 1 and 2. They have to be in the blue slots 1 and
3 (or black slots 2 and 4). If you got only one stick you can put it anywhere, other
wise you have to have two or four sticks.
You may need to reinstall your operating system after you put the memory in the right
spots because it may have been currupted during installation or by the constant computer
locks.
Now I have test it with the All-in-wander card that I took out to see if the card
introduces a problem or not.
