Blue Screen

[asubaseball727]

This is the third time it happens today, I guess I'm running too many programs (Aim, iTunes, firefox, and maybe one other?) and the screen just goes blue and says DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

and then it says to check hardware I might have recently installed ( all i can think of is that i put some stuff on a friends iPod ) and that I may need to uninstall it. It goes on and has some 0X_ _ _ _ _ _ _  things under technical information, but I dont think thats important.

If you know whats up with this and how I can fix it I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Will you feel better if you know you have lots of company with this problem? This link may provide a clue for you:

This is the MS article on it

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prmd_stp_ottj.asp

But like trogers said you have a lot of company with this problem I looked at a couple of links & found suggestions it was a bad driver.virtual memory set wrong,& even a bad fan causing overheating.

My guess is its an IRQ conflict.Meaning you have 2 or more drivers trying to use or access the same IRQ at the same time.

How would I go about deleting the recent hardware, this is annoying... P.S. I have done this : http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=11562.msg114234#msg114234 but was curious if you could safely delete all the items in grey or know what they are and go from there...

Thanks for any help.

asubaseball727;I looked at the linkin your post to a link Swimmer posted & it seemed like a good idea to remove unused devices & drivers by that method.I would do this one at a time though with the most recent first.Then see if the problem is resolved.

The MS article in peepnklowns post looked good too.
