BSOD

[Chris B]

hi been having a problem while playing games, (ill use
championship manager 03/04 for this example) after about
5-10 mins it just suddenly crashes and gives me a BSOD,
with the message:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Technical Info:
***STOP: 0x000000D1
(0xF7EB9FD8,0x00000002,0x00000000,0xF76B6B86)

***USBPORT.SYS - address F76B6B86 base at
F769D000,DateStamp 3f04cf17

does the physical dump thing thing and then says restart.

anyone know what could be causing it, i assumed had
something to do with usb, much appreciated.

Could be problems with memory. I had something similar happening to mine
and found that my memory chips were very hot to the touch. I added a slot
fan and it made a real difference with the temperature in my cpu. When
playing games, the inside can get very hot especially depending on the type
of video card you have. Are your fans working properly? Do you have a fan
on your video card?
