DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

[Guest]

While playing Warcraft 3 and 2, The Sims, and a Star Wars game I get this
message as teh computer restarts.

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you've seen this error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in
the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for
driver updates. Try changin video adapters.

Check with you hardwar vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory
options such as caching or shadowing, if you need to use safe mode to remove
or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advance
startup options, and then select safe mode.
