IRQL Error on startup

[Guest]

ok
I got a problem with my windows start up.
This is a fairly new laptop so I have barly done anything with it currently
and I have only had internet for about 5 days now.
This is Windows XP pro with pack 2.
During the windows start up screen at about halfway through I get the blue
screen.
It says exactly: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
stop: 0x0000000A (0x000000B0, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804EF220)

So starting up "windows normally" or "using last known settings that work"
ends up with above every time. I can onlly startup in safe mode.

Hi,

It's a driver error. As it's brand new, you should contact the manufacturer
for assistance, though likely they will tell you to reload the system clean.

Then, in safe mode, you need to go>start>run and type in msconfig and then
click the startup tab, and uncheck all but the essential applications from
starting. You have a driver conflict, and if you can start in safe mode then
it's the result of a 3rd party application and not windows. So now unchecking
all but say your AV, 3rd party firewall and perhaps Windows Defender(if you
have it, it has real time spyware scanning) should allow you to boot into
windows. Then re-enable the apps, one by one, until you reproduce the
problem, then you know that's the app causing you issue, or go into your
event viewer and look for the red X, corresponding to the time of your
incident, and double click the X, to open a details window. Most of the info
will seem jibberish to you but at least you should recognize a program name
in the module section. That one will be the culprit or use the driver
verifier tool in windows itself.

oh so sorry guy's cause I think i got all mixed up.
what i ment to say was during the boot screen. the whole windows xp logo and
the bar near the bottom of the screen.
I just realized this when I was thinking how you can change your boot screen
from the original to a different custom screen using a third party app.
anyway it basically hit me like a sack of bricks.

so ya this blue screen of death pops up half way through the boot of windows
xp.

upon reading your guys info, it has to be a third party driver if i can run
in safe mode. so knowinly i'll have to contact the manu. tech support. but
any info would be muchly thanked.

Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a
kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver. It can
also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.
