blue Screen part two

[mikeyb]

OK, thanks to Bruce and Nutcase on steering me into
troubleshooting..

About once a day I get a BSOD it sez:
driver_irql_not_less_or_equal

The file in question is usbohci.sys (which i understand
is a miniport driver)

there is no mention of it in the event viewer, so where
do I go from here.. My system is about 3 weeks old

AMD ATHLON 1.86 GIG
512 MEG RAM
GeForce fx 5600 w/256 meg ram

The only new hardware device I added to this machine is
the AOL external modem for DSL. All drivers are up to
date, especially the nvidia and dsl modem

thanks for help, mike san diego

If the system's only 3 weeks old may I venture to ask why you're not
contacting the manufacturer and invoking your warranty?
