Blue screen messages - restarting computer

[eko976]

Hi, I recently wrote about restarting computer.
Now I wrote down the blues screen messages:

{Stop 0x0000000A or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xA message indicates that a kernel-mode process or driver attempted to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel interrupt request level (IRQL) that was too high. A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own. This Stop message is typically due to faulty or incompatible hardware or software.}

and

{Stop 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error.}


Because I forgot to write down what drivers and what devices are causing the problems is there any file that contains this message
I mean, can I see somewhere in computer menagment the text of the blue screen message.
I have Windows XP Pro

What do you recommend to solve this problem?


MoBo - ASUS A7N266VM-A
CPU - AMD XP 2000+
256 MB PC 2100 Crucial
Optorite 52x CDRW

eko976,

You can have windows write a log file everytime you get a BSOD.

you can find it by Right clicking My Computer, then click > Properties > Advanced > Start up and Recovery > then under system failure check the box stating "write an event to the system log."

then it will create a log file on every system failure.

And just for your information, When I had those exact same stop error messages (IRQL not less or equal etc) there were problems with my CPU overheating causing them, and also with bad video drivers

These may be two things you may want to check

HTH,
