I have a friend who has Win XP Pro and is having major troubles. He keeps getting a blue screen that includes a STOP error, a memory minidump, and this error: IRQL IS NOT EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN
I looked up similar problems on here and some people suggested a bad power supply, faulty RAM, BIOS updates, and replacing the motherboard. He has updated Windows with all the patches, has all of his drivers updated, removed a stick of RAM, and is still having trouble. I looked up his STOP error on the MS knowledge base, and they didn’t have anything on his particular error. I tried looking in his minidump file using chkdump, couldn’t make much of it, so I had him set up his computer to do a full memory dump, but when his computer crashed again, it didn’t do a full dump, just another minidump.
I’m still getting info from him, so this is a basic rundown of what he has (this is what he has sent me anyway):
256 DDR RAM
Thunderbird AMD processor
ATI All in wonder Radeon AGP card
1024 Sound Blaster Live Value
2 Hardrives
