BSOD, daily ?

[JoeP]

Under XP(H)SP-2:
Upon initial boot, or within 1st 5 minutes receive BSOD with:
"
....
Driver_IRQL_Not_less_or_equal
....
*** STOP: 0x000000D1 (0xF85ADEBF, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xF85ADEBF)
*** disk.sys - Address F85ADEBF base at F85A5000, DateStamp 41107b59
{repeated}

Disk.sys is a standard Windows component file.

I suspect that one of your disk drives (possibly the CDROM) may be
having problems when the computer is initially started up but these
problems remedy themselves after the drive has been under power for a
few minutes and has warmed up a bit.

As an experiment, when you shut your computer down for the night open
the case and unplug all of the disk drives except the hard drive (and
3.5 diskette if you have one). Then see if the problem recurs in the
morning when the computer is started up.

Good luck

As Ron says, I'd suspect one of your disk drives. Have you done anything to
any of them recently?

First I'd try going into Device Manager and uninstalling your CD/DVD drives,
reboot and let Windows redetect and install them.

You can also try updating your motherboard/chipset drivers (so that the disk
controller drivers are updated).

Thanks. Appears to be a most useful site, and I have bookmarked it.
"D1" eventually circles me back to MS Support articles which is where I
started and have proved less than helpful (imagine !). However see also
reply to "Ron Martell" below; maybe slow drive.

Thank you, Ron,

I disconnected the 2 optical drives (DVD & CD-RW), and, lo, no bsod, so far.
If things continue error free, I'll reconnect one at a time to see which has
the problem.

2 years ago I set BIOS to boot from DVD first (for emergency disks), so I'm
betting that will be the one although it should not have to spin up to give
a "no disk" response ?

I don't expect a shot of WD-40 would be an acceptable remedy here ?

Now, having gone almost week without any sign of trouble, I have reconnected
the CD-RW, and have been stable so far.
