Stop: error restarts intermittently "Gary I." <gi1ol[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/22/2008 8:35:41 PM DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Stop:0X000000D1 (0x00007430C, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X0007430C) My wife's system chokes when starting Windows XP, SP3 with all updates. My son is famous for shutting down improperly. When Chkdsk runs I know he skips the check. I think this is what created this problem. He is in too much of a hurry to play Halo online, 11 yr old. I have tried the recovery console- fixboot, fixmbr. I ran chkdsk from safe mode on both disks, no errors detected. However, intermittently, more often that not, the system will halt with the error described above. Norton AV detects nothing and Spybot finds no spy. Again, sometimes I get into safe mode but sometimes the system hangs with the ide led glowing bright. The scsi led shows no hdd activity. I have stopped the system from restarting on system error. Now, I see the stop error each time. At the beginning it flashed by so fast I had no idea. Well, I still have no idea. I pulled the memory and tried different sticks. The scsi and video card fan and heat sinks are thoroughly clean. The slocket and its cpu heat sink fan, power supply and motherboard are also free of dust. I disabled all caching and shadowing. I think my disks are fine. I suspect the IDE hard disk may have an intermittently functional electronic component. Some satus or command is not tracking properly. I need help from the true experts-- you all. Where do I go with this. Thank you.

Re: error restarts intermittently "Gerry" <gerry[ at ]nospam.com> 12/22/2008 10:17:05 PM Gary Does the Error occur during the boot process or after? Doe the Error occur in Safe Mode? DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ; Stop:0X000000D1 (0x00007430C, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X0007430C) 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.

Re: error restarts intermittently "Gary I." <gi1ol[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/23/2008 12:22:54 AM A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. And text about newly installed hardware or software, disable memory options- cache, shadow... nothing specific. Should I look for a particilar item? The system is up for hours then out it goes with the stop... Device manager is good. It would seem that that is expected. If I get into windows all hardare was happy. If the stop error appears I'll not get to windows and I cannot see the device manager to ID particular hardware. Thank you. -- I want a big American automobile with tail fins.

Re: error restarts intermittently "Gary I." <gi1ol[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/27/2008 7:35:18 AM The computer has a linksys wmp54g (wireless lan) installed. We were utilizing linksys wireless monitor v4.3 for years without problem. XP has its own wireless networking capacity. First, I tried to uninstall the LAN completely. I thought it was done but when the card is re-installed ECSD, DMI Pool message did not appear and the card is not detected. Now, how can that be. It was fine for years. I remove it for the third or fourth time. The system is started. When the WLan card is out the stop error does not occur! I'm on the right track. Now, windows needs to be reactivated, great... one more thing. Finally, I install the card and BIOS sees it during boot. However, I cannot use the Linksys setup because it must be installed before the card is inserted into a PCI slot. Also, it will install the network monitor too. I must eliminate that. I manually detect hardware through control panel. I load the driver manually and configure the internet and our home network through the XP wireless networking. I reactivate windows. All of this took chunks out of three days but it is done and all fixed. The wireless linksys network monitor and the resources the WLan card were trying to grab must have cause the problem. My son shutting down improperly is where it all started though. The tough part is getting the right device. If you can't get into windows you're done. You do get into windows with no trouble, but no trouble is the key. Two or three hours later the system halts with the stop error. Safe mode works but that doesn't help when everything is operational. The system would hang with the ide acces led glowing at other times. Service control manager in event view had several errors. One of the errors referred to the WLan. I suspected it may be the problem before so I went for that first. What a pain in the ass.
