Hi
I hope am posting this in the right forum....anyway.
For the past two weeks I have been having a problem with my computer, the screen just freezes and this message appears in a blue background. I have tried everything to get rid of this problem, and nothing works. Here is the message:

***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0xe2000040 , 0x000000FF , 0x00000001 , oxBFDOFC9A)

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
*Address BF DOFC9A base at BFD0A000 , BaseStamp 38ub903a -mrxsmb sys
Beginning dump of physical memory.
Any help?

Hi Megan,

Have you installed or reinstalled any new hardware recently ?

Check out this article (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;840890) I believe it should fix your problem.

Hi Megan,

Have you installed or reinstalled any new hardware recently ? No, but I have reformatted my computer four times this week, too many problems.


P.s Thanks for that article Dabigmooish :)

Before you go any further, you should check the Windows Hardware Compatibility List. Formatting your hard drive over/over will not solve the problem; after you know exactaly if your hardware/software is fully compatible, make the appropriate configurations and get the latest crital updates from microsoft's website; also see below...

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check has a value of 0x000000D1. This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.

Cause

A driver tried to access an address that is pageable (or that is completely invalid) while the IRQL was too high.

This bug check is usually caused by drivers that have used improper addresses.

Resolving the Problem

To begin debugging, use a kernel debugger to get a stack trace.
