Hello Biggy,

Welcome to PCHF.

- Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer and click on the System section.
- Look for event 1001, which should have the following information:

Event ID: 1001
Source: Save Dump
Description:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.The bugcheck was ?
...A dump was saved in:....... Note the path

- This will tell you where the location of the dump file is. Can you attach the dump file back here?

A few of these would be great, but irql_not_less_or_equal normally relates to faulty hardware, most likely memory but this dump should point us in the right direction.

Ok,

- If you have a floppy drive and a spare floppy disk, please download: http://www.memtest86.com/memt32.zip

- If not, please download, unzip and use nero to burn this image: http://www.memtest86.com/memtest86-3.2.iso.zip

Reboot with the CD/Floppy in the drive and start memtest. This will ensure there are no problems in memory.

- Open up the zip file using WinZip/ZipGenius or whatever zip software you have you your PC, and extract it to a location you'll remember.
- From Nero Start Smart, go to the section Copy and Backup, and then click on Burn Image to Disk.
- From "File of Type" at the bottom of the Open window, select "All Files" or "Image Files", and then open the file you just extracted, should be called "memtest86-3.2.iso".
- Click Next and go through the burn procedure.

From the bad PC:
- Start the PC up with the CD insterted, and you should be able to boot from it, just like you do with the windows installation CD.
