    Hello, I have recently found myself recieving the above error rather to regularly for my likeing. I find it most often happens whilst playing games so have a feeling it may be to do with either RAM or my video card . This error comes in the form of a 'blue screen of death' and leads to me having to press reset and then be presented with the 'Windows has recovered from a serious error' window. This is driving me mad as it is preventing me from using my computer in the way I want. After doing some research via google alot of threds seem to suggest a Driver conflict yet I have not changed any drivers recently or installed any new hardware. I have even gone to the lengths of a full re-install but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
    System Specs:
    AMD Athlon XP 3000+
    Biostar M7NCD-AO4 ver3, NFORCE 2 400/MCP motherboard.
    2x512MB DDR PC3200 400MHz Ram
    PNY Verto GFORCE 59000FX graphics card
    Antec 400W PSU

    I had that same error come up and found out it was my DSL-200 modem. For some reason it was the USB modem/Driver it didn't like. I was told to download Service pack 2 for Win XP but since I already had it and the error was still coming up, the only option I had left was to buy a new ADSL Router and switch to Ethernet. Apparently Ethernet is so much more stable than USB anyway, and I haven't had one problem since I switched over.
