Hi, Kat. Since this is your first post you might as well know that using

all caps is considered "shouting" and poor netiquette, so please turn off

the caps lock.

 

This newsgroup is for discussing 64-bit operating system concepts and

issues. It is not an XP newsgroup (although there is a 64-bit version of

XP). If you are using XP Pro SP2 you really should try the

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general or microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware

newsgroups. Not that someone in this ng might not be willing to help, but

the XP gurus hang out in the XP ngs.

hold it right there...

do not re-install windows...run a RAM test before you do anything else

Re: HELP!

 

IRQL, etc, is almost always hardware. It could be as simple as enough dust

buildup inside your computer that something isn't behaving right, getting

overheated, etc., or it could be a failing memory module.

 

But please, turn off the caps lock.

RE: HELP!

 

Hi,

Looks like you have a bad memory stick.

Go here http://www.memtest86.com/ and download the freeware program.

Burn a CD or write a floppy and run it during boot.

That will tell you if your memory is Ok or not.

Re: HELP!

 

Check the minidumps in the windows folder.

 

Search the web for information how to read the minidumps ;)

 

Could help ya ;)

 

It's not so difficult an ape could do it.

 

Then look what driver might have caused it and remove that driver.

 

Bye,

Skybuck.
