[Guest]

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

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

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

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If
this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for
any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. 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 Advanced Startup options, and then select safe mode.

Technical Information:

*** STOP: 0x0000000A (0x00000000,0x00000001,0x00000002,0x804DC11D)


I have a windows xp Home edition OS
256 RAM
1.67 Amd Athlonxp Processor

I have been using this computer for about 2 - 3 years and it havent got me
to any problem until today when i tried starting it up. The blue screen
appears and no matter how many times i restarted it , it wouldnt work. I
tried other modes , even the normal safe mode couldnt get me into windows ,
However , 1 option in advanced booting option led me in to safe mode. I
couldnt remember the name but its near the debugging option. I've browsed
through this forum and many different solutions came out. Im totally lost and
i really need help about this. I hope someone can just save my beloved
computer. Thanks for reading..!

instead of the IRQL thing... What happens if i reinstall windows.. will my
files still be there? without formatting. and can my windows function as
smooth as before?

Only you can determine which component may be failing, so depending on
you technical ability start by testing
1. RAM with memtest http://www.memtest86.org
2. HDD with diagnostics from the manufacturer
3. All output voltages of your power supply with a meter
4. Visually inspect the MoBo for faulty Caps [distended or leaking]
5. Make sure all fans are working and not clogged with lint
