system crashing

[Paul]

I am experiencing a high number of system crashes.
Screen goes blue and error report is;

DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

STOP 0x000000D1, 0x00000028, 0x00000002, 0x00000000,
0xF8505386

CLASSPNP.SYS ADDRESS F8505386 BASE AT F8505000
DATESTAMP 3d6de49a

This occurs when playing games or carrying out other
tasks. I notice games sound interferes with graphics
which become very jumpy. I recently added a 2nd hard
drive to my system. Trying to copy files to it also
causes the crash

Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 messages indicates that the system attempted to access
pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that
have used improper addresses typically cause this error.

Possible Resolutions:

a.. Stop 0xD1 messages can occur after installing faulty drivers or system
services. If a driver is listed by name, disable, remove, or roll back that
driver to confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the
manufacturer about a possible update. Using updated software is especially
important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners,
DVD playback, and CD mastering tools.
