When i enter one of my games World of Warcraft, ive read many peoples complaints about this with other programs, a blue screen comes up and says this..
A problem has occurred and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer : "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

It tells me to disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing and i went to the advanced BIOS options and the option was not there.

At the bottom where it says technical information it says...

STOP 0x00000004, 0x0000001c, 0x00000001, 0x804E1476

Begginning dump of physical memory
Physical Memory dump complete
---
My system specs :

Microsoft Windows XP
2002, Service pack 2

Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
1 gig of ram
------------------

I gave basically as much information as i could, i would greatly appreciate someone helping me. Thanks

That error message is usually associated with a buggy device driver, system service, or BIOS ... Make sure you have the latest game updates & Video & Sound drivers and check windows update for the latest updates.

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL
I think this is a display driver problem.
