Usually a bad device driver.

Re: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL "Gerry" <gerry[ at ]nospam.com> 12/19/2008 7:50:07 PM You would do better to post a complete copy of the Stop Error report. Do you mean "instalization" -installation or when the computer boots? Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on system failure. Do the Errors occur in Safe Mode? DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ; STOP 0X000000D1 ( 0x0000018, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xf83aa25F) . What appears on the line below what is above? Background information on Stop Error message http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms795930.aspx 0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties, Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code? -- Hope this helps.
