Which stop error is it? There can be many causes. Is there any common factor (such as printing) right before this happens?

by rpalfery

The stop codes are 0x000000D1, 0x342B46,DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL_TO. There was more ,but all i could get from client. No common factors that i know.after re-boot (about two minutes) it blue screens. My guess is USB driver related? Hope this helps-thanks

The bios battery must be week. this can give the error your getting if its starting to go dead as it saves the bios settings incompletely.

but do look in device manager if you can get to windows. it can also be caused by two conflicting peaces of hardware trying to use the same irq settings or chanels at the same time.

If the system is unstable, boot into safe-mode and have a look at Event Viewer or Performance logs in Administrative Tools for further clues.

Parameters
1 - memory that is referenced
2 - IRQL
3 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation

CAUSE

This issue can occur when the Driver Verifier feature is enabled and a driver has used an improper address. Note that the driver that is causing this issue may be listed in the error message.
