Blue Screen Problem

[Thomas Lees]

I have just upgraded my computer, the only items that weren't new were the
CD Drive and Hard drive with windowsXP on it. When we did the upgrade
windows had to be reactivated which was what we were expecting and
everything is running fine. Occationally though after playing a game or
during load a game (i never find it actually during) i get a blue screen
with:

DRIVE_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

My specs are

3800+ Athlon 64
Gigabyte nforce3 motherboard
2gb DDR 3200 ram
Geforce 6800gt 256mb video card
Creative Audigy ZS Platinum Pro sound card
Running winXP sp2

It happens when sometimes i load windows and before the 'welcome screen'
appears, loading games and exiting games. However it's not often. I ran
3dMark03 a benchmark program going through all kinds of different textures,
etc. didn't fault and loaded 3 games with high detail and much as i could to
fault it. nothing.

It just sometimes can be annoying when im in a game and haven't saved.

Many thanks, when the problem arises i can get the full details like it
mentioned on the help pages. I suspect by what makes it do that it's almost
certainly the graphics drivers.

But i could be wrong.

The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check has a value of 0x000000D1. This
indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a
process IRQL that was too high.
