Hi.

I'm from sweden, so my english might not be the best. But i hope you can help me anyway.

I've got this very recently. After starting a resource demanding application, like DC++, a bluescreen shows up after a short while. Here's what it says:
-Beginning of bluescreen-

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

(Then there's that regular crap that Microsoft proposes might solve the problem.)
(Then, at the technical area, it says the following):

(A lot of file offsets (datacode) witch i don't think might be of any help to you.)
NDIS.sys (Apparently, this is the file that fails. No matter what program makes it crash, it's always this file involved.)
-End of bluescreen-

Any suguesions?

might want to look at the possible cause's an possible fix here....

There's not much you can do about IRQs in XP. However if you had more than one network device installed -- you could disable one. For example if you had an onboard networking chip and an installed card you would want to disable the onboard device in the BIOS.

It's strange that no matter what you do that is resource intensive, it results in that driver error -- how about if you disconnect from the modem entirely?

Since intensive use of resources may be an issue you should look into overheating:

Has the ram been tested?

And why not post a HijackThis scanlog just so we can see what you have running:

Download and install HijackThis using the "self extractor". Run it and select "do a system scan and save the log file". Then copy/paste the contents of the log to a reply

the ndis.sys points directly at your network situation. May want to check the drivers for all your connections, wired and wireless, and make sure that you have the latest.

Memtest is never a bad idea, as rog suggested, and neither is hjt.

I don't have a modem. I'm behind a router, D-Link DI-604.

Overheating:

26 degrees Celcius at the CPU... Overheating...? Nah...

Has the ram been tested?

Nope. I haven't. How do i do it?

And why not post a HijackThis scanlog just so we can see what you have running:

Don't have it. Besides, i'm running Ad Aware 6 Professional.

Thanks for the awnser anyway.

ad aware does nothing compared to hjt. For that matter ad aware does nothing to about 60% of hte infections I've seen out there. HJT shows what's running in the background, something that adware is completely unable to do. It's a small d/l, you can get it from majorgeeks, and rog is a security expert so he could parse it rather rapidly.

memtest is a very good tool to have. Ram, as you know, is volatile, and isn't guaranteed to work 100% of it's life.

If you think that you know the answers already, why ask the questions?

I don't have a modem. I'm behind a router, D-Link DI-604.

And just what does that router connect to?

The router connects to the modem wicth connect's to the internet.

Testing Windows Memory Diagnostic. Result will be back.

 

[Rollin' Rog]

You can disconnect from the router to test the networking issue.

By the way do you happen to have the Nvidia Firewall (ActiveArmor) chipset drivers installed (look in Add/Remove programs) if you have a motherboard which supports them?

If you do, that is a likely cause of the error in my opinion. I've seen it before. You can remove it and reboot.

Or are you using a firewall other than the XP firewall?

And it is still recommended you post a scanlog per the instructions in my first link.
