DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x000000D1

[Bealhen]

I get a Blue screen while playing Raven Shield, often
when a frag grenade explodes in my vacinity. The error
on the blue screen is as follows.

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Tech info:
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000007, 0x00000000,
0x00000000)

I am running all the updates on WindowsXP home. I have a
2.4 GHz P4, in a vpr Matrix. 512 MB ram, GeForceFX5200
(latest drivers). This has happened ever since I got the
GeforceFX and wonder what I can do to fix the issue, any
assistance would be most appreciated.

I ran into a problem like this running a chat program and
it ended up being spyware. Might not be your bag, but if
you don't already use spybot, start.

Check out this page, from which the below information is copied:

1.. Examine the "System" and "Application" logs in Event Viewer for other
recent errors that might give further clues. To do this, launch EventVwr.msc
from a Run box; or open "Administrative Tools" in the Control Panel then
launch Event Viewer.
2.. If you've recently added new hardware, remove it and retest.
3.. Run hardware diagnostics supplied by the manufacturer.
4.. Make sure device drivers and system BIOS are up-to-date.
5.. However, if you've installed new drivers just before the problem
appeared, try rolling them back to the older ones.
6.. Open the box and make sure all hardware is correctly installed, well
seated, and solidly connected.
7.. Confirm that all of your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility
List. If some of it isn't, then pay particular attention to the non-HCL
hardware in your troubleshooting.
8.. Check for viruses.
9.. Investigate recently added software.
10.. Examine (and try disabling) BIOS memory options such as caching or
shadowing.
NOTE: When a STOP message occurs, Windows can create a debug file for very
detailed analysis. To do this, it needs a workspace equal to the amount of
physical RAM you have installed. If you resize your Win XP pagefile minimum
to less than the size of your physical RAM, you will get an advisory message
that your system may not be able to create a debugging information file if a
STOP error occurs. My advice is to go ahead with this change if you want,
but simply remember the limitation so that you can change it back if you
need to troubleshoot STOP messages. Some general troubleshooting principles
are suggested in the Resource Kit for approaching STOP messages overall.

This error message does refer to drivers, as you suspected. See if there
is any information about this in a readme or other documentation that
came with the card. If not, go to the card mftr.'s website and check
out their tech support. Maybe they have updated drivers or you can try
reference drivers from Nvidia's site.
