0x0A stop message in Windows XP home edition SP2

[Guest]

After the initial installing of Windows XP home edition SP2, the computer
restarts and before windows loads I get this message:

IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

*** STOP: 0x000000A (OxF8392FB0, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804D91D7)

I am aware that this means there is some sort of hardware conflict but if
anyone can derive anything specific from this message before I disassemble my
entire computer, I'd aprecitate it.

Send some help if you can!

Try booting to xp cd,recovery,press enter key for password,then type:
CHKDSK C: /R When its thru,type:EXIT Let xp restart,remove cd.Or at
starting computer,tap the F8 key,select safe-mode with networking,enter
as administrator,in xp administration,open event viewer and see whats
going on in detail.

Think driver, although not necessarily hardware. Could be firewall, AV,
burner app as well.

Look in event viewer for more details.

hi fellas, thanks for the help, but things didn't really work out. I can't
get into XP via safemode, I get a message that says it can't run in safemode
and then restarts. That means no event viewer. I should mention that this
is a clean install onto a blank, unformated hard drive, so it must be a
hardware issue. isn't there some way to decypher the 0xa code and look at
exactly what it is pointing toward? please send more help!

this might prove to be a big piece of the puzzle: I looked on the
compatability web site and aparently my motherboard, an ABIT kt7a-raid, is
nit on the list? Izs it actually possible that this popular motherboard is
NOT compatable with WIN XP?! let me know what you think and what the heck i
am supposed to do?!
