IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ntoskrnl.exe

[Louis Hanna]

Hello,

Periodically (almost daily now) I will receive a blue
screen hard stop error on my Windows 2000 Professional
system. I can't relate it to any particular task that I
can see. Failure occurs in ntoskrnl.exe and the message
states IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL along with a series of
address bytes. Is there anyway I can go about trapping
additional information about this error or perhaps some
sort of file mismatch that someone already knows about
that could be at the root cause ?

Thanks !

Louis

Hello,

Per article 165863 it appears the memory being referenced
in this error is owned by my video driver. Does this
imply that my video driver is at fault or just a victim ?

Thanks !
