Help!!! Blue Screen Got me... PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

[Guest]

1st October, 2006
Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently purchased a Pentium D 3.4 Dual Core Chip, Gigabyte GA-8N775
Motherboard and a ATI X1600 512mb PCI Express Graphics Card. I am running
Windows XP Pro SP-2 with all the latest required and optional updates .
I put my system together and was thrilled with the power of my new system.
Then today I was sitting at my computer when it BLUE SCREENED. Then rebooted.
I was unable to see exactly what the blue screen and white letters said.
Then it blue screened again sometime later. I was able to copy the message
and codes. Would you please be so kind to tell me exactly what piece of
hardware failed.
The Blue Screen message was this (after the normal if this is the first time
stuff):

DRIVER_IROL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0x5BC03373, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0Xebc947C0)
COLMPA,SYS Address EBC947C0
Base At EC90000 Datestamp 3CB23021

Any and all assistance you may afford me will be greatly appreciated.
I remain Faithfully Yours,

Did you recently make any hardware driver updates? or any hardware or software changes?
In cases like yours, drivers are the most frequent suspect.

Here are some references for you to review.

See the Aumha page on Windows 5x Stop codes. Scroll down to section on 000000D1 (look for "D1" link on right-hand pane)
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

For your consideration.

A useful set of tips from Joshua Smith at MSFT:

<begin quote>
To determine what driver is causing the problem I need you to enable driver verifier.
Steps:
1) Windows Key + R
2) Type in 'verifier' and hit enter
3) Make sure 'Create Standard Setting' is selected and hit next
4) Click on 'Select all drivers installed on this computer' and hit Finish
5) Reboot


There is a possibility that your computer will crash on reboot. If this
occurs hit F8 when rebooting just before the windows logo screen and select
the safe mode boot option. Follow the same steps above but on step 4 choose
'Select driver names from a list'; hit next; check the box next to any
driver where the provider is not Microsoft; hit Finish; reboot.


This will slow the performance of you computer a little while enabled but will hopefully catch the driver causing corruption. Next time you crash the blue screen will hopefully say something like
"DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOL­­ATION".
