Driver IRQL Not Less or Equal

[tmlfan3]

Hello,

Recently I've begun experiencing repeated BSODs when running a specific
program (uTorrent). The BSOD comes up with the error "Driver IRQL Not Less
or Equal" and says it's related to e100b325.sys (one time it also said
rasacd.sys but it's only one out of a few dozen).

After doing some research it appears that this is an issue with my network
card (Intel Pro/100 VE). I have tried updating the drivers to the most
recent from Intel and from Gateway (my computer manufacturer) and neither
have solved the problem. Installing the new driver alleviates the problem
for the first day but then it's back to only lasting 5-10 min.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Hi tmlfan3,

Could you please upload your crash dump file (usually located in
c:\windows\minidump) to the following site:

Okay i've uploaded one of the dump files from a crash that occurred today.
Hopefully you can suggest something.

Thanks

I won't have a chance to look at this until later this afternoon. I will
post a response then.

Just checking to see if you've found anything... I recently installed the
newest drivers again and same as before the problem went away for a while but
has started happening. Now it's happening when I'm just browsing the
internet too (not as frequently as utorrent).

AFAIK Vista will not operate properly if all of memory is not operating at
the same speed.
Since you have 3 1GB ddr2 memory dims installed this may not be possible.
I suggest you remove one of them and just use one matched pair of DDR2 dims
and see if your system works better.
