Hi all,

My computer is suffering from random re-starts, with the message:

driver_irql_not_less_or_equal
stop: 0x000000d1 (0x00485404, 0x000000ff, 0x0000001, 0xBA6CD062)

Here is the info from system information:

I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 PCI bus
I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 Direct memory access controller

Memory Address 0xF8000000-0xFBFFFFFF PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge

I have already done a re-format and fresh XP install and newest drivers, but it hasnt solved it. I tried to manually change IRQ but of course found it was greyed out and i couldn't!

I have reached the end of my tether and PC knowledge,so I'm hoping someone on here can help!

Thanks.

There is an issue with your video card. Try reseating the card or change the the slot it's in if you can. If this doesn't fix the problem you may need to replace either the motherboard or video card.

Hi, thanks for replying. I have tried re-seating the video card before, to no avail. I was hoping it wouldnt be a hardware issue = expense!
