My computer’s spontaneously restarting,usu.in the middle of a multiplayer game,specifically WordBattle at Midasplayer,if that matters.
No error message or warning,restarts normally & no problems after(that is,until it reoccurs).Didnt happen every time I played & did happen at least once when not playing.
Disabled auto restart in Win XP to see any error messages.
Soon,happened again,this time NOT in a game,so dont know if it’s the same error msg when I was.
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL.
STOP:OX0000000A(OXC8E0097E,OX00000009, OX00000001,OX804D9108)
BEGINNING DUMP OF PHYSICALMEMORY
PHYSICAL MEMORY DUMP COMPLETE
Ive researchd this problem & keep seeing references to driver &/or RAM problems.I mention the repeated driver and memory suggestions specifically,because seems to me that people may be confusing 2 similar errors when troubleshooting this.If this is so,it may lead some down the wrong path unnecessarily & wanted to avoid doing this in my case (as well as help others in theirs).
I admit dont know much about this,but from what Ive read,looks like u can get the error I get which may point to memory problems,but you can also get a similar error which may point to driver probs.
My error is “IRQL not less or equal”, while Ive read elsewhere that others have gotten “Driver IRQL not less or equal”.Itseems to me these may be related, but arent the same thing & fixes for one wouldnt help the other.
Sorry to be so wordy in explaining,but wanted to be sure to differentiate between the 2,in case these 2 errors are confused at times,so anyone offering help for my problem wouldnt focus on the driver-related error,similar to my (possibly)memory-related error.
Of course,if I got that all wrong,then just ignore & any help for my problem’s much appreciated!
